The Ignorati Continue Their Redneck Caterwaul
An article on CNN.com today showcased the perfect example of the desperation of political ideologues, those who want the world to be a certain way and who no matter how little their desires and reality match up still continue to vote a certain way (rightward ho) and espouse the non-existent virtues of their party.
If you haven't seen the image around which the article is based, you will. Here it is:
The story is about a Distant-Right businessman from Florida who put up possibly the most idiotic ad for the Republican party of all time (and whose reverse-reality views CNN has legitimized simply by interviewing him).
"I believe 9/11 could have been prevented if we'd had a Republican president at the time," said Mike Meehan, stalwart defender of untruths, on CNN's "American Morning."
Interesting point. However--AND CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG--we in fact had a Republican president in office BEFORE, DURING, and AFTER 9/11. Please note that Before, During, and After are ALL OF THE TIMES possible within with to take action regarding any event.
And as far as I know, W messed up every single stage of dealing with the attacks. Every single aspect of preventing then managing the disaster was bungled by W, Cheney, and the neocon warhawks who then sent our troops into a country that had NOTHING to do with 9-11. But with the assistance of lackluster journalism and the wondrous conservative echo chamber, our country was tricked into believing one of the most blatant lies ever, one that lead to an international tragedy that is half a decade later still unfolding.
For a great book on this subject, I recommend reading Craig Unger's "THE FALL OF THE HOUSE OF BUSH: The Untold Story of How a Band of True Believers Seized the Executive Branch, Started the Iraq War, and Still Imperils America's Future."
Also note however that W is possibly the most republican-est-est (read: conservative) president in this nation's history. He's as far right as you can get, was completely incapable of preventing then going after those who attacked America, and still there are people who want soooo badly to believe Republicans are stalwart defenders of this nation.
They have proven everything but.
W had ample advance notice of Osama's plans to attack our country and did nothing.
But Mike is blaming Clinton for not taking out Osama after the attack on the U.S.S. Cole:
"Unlike Bill Clinton, who actually had bin Laden right in his hand and through the CIA and other high officials decide to get him go," said the creature called Meehan.
Which is even funnier when you find out that the ex-President had in fact authorized the killing of bin Laden but the order was never carried out thanks to the Republican-controlled intelligence agencies' refusal. Who ran the CIA during Clinton's tenure? The same man who ran it during the early part of W's reign of retardery. George Tenet. Who is also the same man who helped doctor and legitimize the non-existent evidence of Iraq's WMD's. Remember that? I'm sure Mike's found a way to blame the non-existence of Saddam's WMD's on the media's liberal bias...which would be ironic because that also doesn't exist and never has.
CNN goes on to drive millions of eyeballs to Meehan's insane-in-the-membrane website, republicansong.com, by mentioning that Mike's busy "trying to sell copies of his song" which is appropriately titled "Please Don't Vote for a Democrat."
CNN's quote on the song:
"The song goes beyond the national security issue, ripping Democrats on taxation and energy issues, too."
Way to go CNN. I'd ask if the editor who penned this understands that the word choice "ripping" implicitly assigns blame to the Dems in agreement with Meehan's bizzarro-world perceptions, but well, it must simply be a mistake since we all know that CNN is part of the liberal-Jew-media conspiracy to control the world through ironic coverage of red neck zealots who the world had no need to read about or humor.
Thankfully though, CNN has chosen to humor him and many others like him.
Some (out) takes from Meehan's song:
"They want to take the money from the hard workin' man, and give it to the lazy folks that don't give a damn."
Yes, lazy folks like the elderly and dying, those who can't afford private educations or gated communities with private watersheds and roads, and those human shit-monsters who make under a QUARTER OF A MILLION dollars a year. Boy those Spend-ocrats sure are a bunch of nutters.
More from Mike:
"We're not fightin' for oil, we got plenty if we drill it."
Yup, he's got me there. We do have plenty of it. Enough to lower the price of gas by a few pennies a gallon...in the YEAR 2030, which is when we can realistically expect any oil taken from drilling within our coastlines to come on line. And since there's never been an oil spill which in turn costs billions to simply clean up and which tend to cripple entire ecosystems in one fell sploosh, we can rest easy knowing that the few tens of dollars we MIGHT save 20 years from now will be free to be spent on trips to the Arctic which will be sunny and warm most of the year round. Huzzah!
CNN then goes on with their pro-Mike opus by listing his cd price, that he's available to perform at a "concert, party, meeting or event" and that he's just trying to recoup money spent on his (fear-mongering, tragedy-cashing-in-on) billboard. A regular guy, just like you and me, yessireebob!
I wouldn't be surprised if ultra conservatives like this are the starting point for a new political-surgical trend in which ideological Republicans have their left brains removed as an act of patriotism. The sad fact is however that a million lobotomized Republicans actually would be a huge boon to this country and the world, so maybe those surgeries would be patriotic, just not in the way they intended. I suppose that would make those lobotomies ironically patriotic. Sounds like the birth of the hipster conservative to me.
Marketers and advertising executives...YOU HEARD IT HERE FIRST.

On the plus side, Mike is also driving lots of traffic to RepublicanSong.com, which isn't exactly puttin' out the message that Mike was trying to give. Heh.
