Neither did Bush Sr. or Reagan. <BR/><BR/>What Obama said didn't send thousands of our troops off to their deaths and bring ruin to the country of Iraq like when Bush said things like "Saddam Hussein is harboring weapons of mass destruction!"<BR/><BR/>By the way, does anybody have the Mallard Fillmore strip where he tore Rush Limbaugh a new one for his insensitive commentary about the Special Olympics?

Yes, that goes without saying. (And he he apologized profusely for it.)<BR/><BR/>But that's not the issue here.<BR/><BR/>Rather Anonymous above --in standard wingnut fashion-- is asking us to believe that Obama got up on stage and purposefully, <I>intentionally</I> ridiculed the handicapped.<BR/><BR/>Is he really asking us to believe that <I>that</I> is <I>actually</I> possible?<BR/><BR/>The issue here isn't even something that's factually, demonstrably false (e.g. "Obama is a muslim"). Instead this is something that's so patently absurd --on the level of claiming that Obama is from Mars-- that you have to ask why these people aren't laughed off the screen.<BR/><BR/>Don't you want to just grab these fools --and the idiots who listen to them-- by the collar, shake them and scream "Use your head, people!"<BR/><BR/>This goes beyond lying. It's like the who Al Gore smear. Can you really believe that we are so stupid as to accept that someone like Al Gore would stand up in front of a group of people and actually, seriously claim to "have invented the internet" or to "have discovered Love Canal"?<BR/><BR/>Again, set aside the fact that the falsehood of any of this can be demonstrated with a 3 minute Google search. It's so incredibly, plainly, insultingly stupid.nlcnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33297721.post-51401167943544788992009-04-06T11:13:00.000-07:002009-04-06T11:13:00.000-07:00Oh, TinzAnon, that's so cute.

May I make the obvious joke and say that even if your opinion of Obama and Biden were even remotely close to the truth (which, of course and as usual, it isn't), they would still be a distant second to you in the Stupidity Olympics.
