Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-Tara), the reliably hysterical other half of the comedy duo of McCain & Graham, masters of the art of deranged hyperbole and risible, fact-free allegations, lost his few remaining marbles on national television on Sunday.
The Senator from Gone With The Wind was talking to Fox News chowder-head John Roberts and take a wild guess what Graham compared ISIS to; if you guessed 'Hitler', you win second-prize, a set of steak-knives. If you guessed 'Nazi Germany', you win the Cadillac Eldorado.
According to Raw Story:
The senior senator from South Carolina said that ISIS was similar to Nazi Germany, but instead of a master race, they were “a radical Islamic army that’s pushing the theory of a master religion.”
Oh, I get it...Sen.
Leo Bloom is pushing an updated version of the old Spike Jones tune
Der Fuehrer's Face:
When the mullah says: 'We are the master race,
We smile, smile, right in the mullahs face...
The Senator from the great state of Panic went on:
“It’s about protecting millions of people throughout the world from a radical Islamic army,” he added. “They’re intending to come here. So, I will not let this president suggest to the American people we can outsource our security and this is not about our safety. There is no way in hell you can form an army in Syria to go after ISIL without a substantial American component.”
For Sen. Graham, there is no question to which the answer is not 'military action'. Said Sen. Chickenhawk:
“This is a war we’re fighting! This is not a counter-terrorism operation! This is not Somalia, this is not Yemen! This is a turning point in the war on terror! Our strategy will fail yet again! This president needs to rise to the occasion before we all get killed back here at home!”
Graham concluded by proclaiming that “the consequences of losing” were dire.
“They will open the gates of hell to spill out on the world,” he said. “This is not a Sunni versus Sunni problem. This is ISIL versus mankind.”
Jeez...that's
terrible. So, if I'm understanding Sen. Chicken Little correctly: the sky is
definitely falling and we should all panic
right now! If not sooner!!
I think Sen. Foghorn Leghorn-on-crack needs a nice quiet rest, someplace with the shades drawn and no distractions. Rubber walls would be a bonus.
