The audience for this bullshit is stereotypically white, male, southern, and uneducated. They are continuously pissed off because, well just because, and they believe that most people hate em and would like to kick the holy living shit out of them…

Their taste in political rhetoric is primarily aesthetic- it needs to be loud, violent, and mean…it must embrace the reality that unless you get someone to kick the holy living shit out of the “others” they will come and kick the holy living shit out of you….Any message that doesn’t meet that critereon will not be listened to.

clearly admiral mullen is in league with the terrorist or at any rate subconsciously holds sympathies with them. either or, this man cannot and should not be trusted. i mean where does he come off contradicting the oracle himself – did not dick tell us all we needed to know regarding guantanamo.

not to speak of the false discussion this entire piece fails to realise, save in the last words – they hate us not because of guantanamo, not because we tortured them, not because we invaded their country for oil and to settle old scores but because of our freedom. think about that – these people woke up one day, clearly after a hearty breakfast (am guessing they had camel kabob with goat milk. well after wards they thought to themselves, hmmmm…., those darn americans and their fancy freedom, dont you just hate them. so they respect our culture, their president never invades another country just for sport, never imprisons men because he has a bad feeling about them, never tortures but they have this freedom thing.

i think, i hate them for that. so it all started, you see, after a breakfast of camel kabob with goat milk – next thing we know they hate us because we are free. i wonder what they shall come up with next – lord save us

You’ve really hit on something here, rw. The steadily contracting GOP base demands untruths about the economy, foreign affairs, and social issues. As long as there are GOP politicians who speak to them, making them increasingly isolated from the rest of America, those GOP politicians will succeed in their contracting niches. But America will literally pass them by.

Goopers doing a rather remarkable job of bottom feeding here. They normally go after people who don’t mind a lie- now they are going after those who absolutely DEMAND it.

Nice fishin Cheney!
