Via NeoGAF, a place most folks here likely aren't familiar with, it seems those silly little men over at Fox News have decided that, yes, you CAN scrape the bottom of the barrel so hard that you break right through it and begin scooping up the piles of shit that you didn't even realize that you put it down on.
Generally speaking, I'm so cynical that nothing much phases me anymore.
This story on Fox New's website, however, left me speechless. More specifically, the blatant anti-Obama spin they put on something SO harmless and innocuous.
Just... just kinda look at that image and the headline Fox chose; and then read the actual copy on the USA Today link. And then just sit back in awe, mind the throbbing pain in your head as best you can and just kinda let it all sink in like a dinosaur in a tar pit.
Listen up Barack and Democrats – THIS is what you're fighting against. A giant, diseased machine that runs off of piss and bile and hate. It combines itself on every necessary level – Political, media, industry and financial – to destroy you and everything you claim you party stands for. The modern and increasingly mainstream conservative stream of thought lusts only for this and to watch as everything you've fought for so hard since the days of FDR crumbles. They ache to see those of us who aren't in that upper percentile tax bracket get fucked.
There is NO level these rapists will not stoop to to destroy you and your ideals.
Sadly, though, the Democrats lack a spine. They refuse to take on these monsters head on. You know, the worst part about that is that on those rare occasions when the Democrats DID give it to the Republicans and their conservative base as hard as they deserved it, they were totally disoriented and had no response. They've built their entire house of lies of out straw and it takes SO very little to knock it apart. Remember when Obama debated the Republican leadership face-to-face on TV? The Republicans and their crappy arguments folded faster than a broken card table. Or, y'know... the entirely of Campaign 2008.
They're bullies, plain and simple. As someone who was pretty relentlessly picked on growing up, take it from me: the best way to deal with a bully is not take their bullshit and throw it right back at them. These clowns have no substance in anything they say.
Hit back at them when they pull shit like the above mentioned. Because it's relentless from them and they'll never stop until you've SO thoroughly humiliated and discredited them that they no longer have the testicular fortitude to even utter their bullshit in anything ever remotely resembling a public forum.
