Angry McHaterpants

[ebonlock]

I've read some pretty bugfuck insane wingnut ranting (read mad scrawling on the rubber walls with blood red crayon), but this takes the cake:

Friends, neighbors, and countrymen of the Left: I hate your lying guts


WHEN I WAS speechwriting at the White House, one rule was enforced without exception. The president would not be given drafts that lowered him or The Office by responding to the articulations of hatred that drove so many of his critics.
[...]
I never used to feel hatred for people such as Cindy Sheehan, Harry Belafonte, Danny Glover, or other pop-culture notables who, for example, sing the praises of Central American dictators while calling President Bush the greatest terrorist on earth. I do now.

And though these figures might be dismissed as inconsequential, their views seem mild compared with those of some of our university professors charged with the "higher" education of our youth.

Thus have I come to hate Ward Churchill, the University of Colorado professor who called the Sept. 11 victims of the World Trade Center "little Eichmanns"; Nicholas De Genova, the Columbia professor who loudly wished "a million Mogadishus" on American troops in Iraq; and Kevin Barrett, the University of Wisconsin professor who teaches his students that President Bush was the actual mastermind behind the Sept. 11 attacks.

I used to laugh these people off. Now I detest them as among the most loathsome people America has ever vomited up.

You should really check out the rest, I mean this is seriously off the meds, screed stuff here, but here's the best bit:

So I intend to vote on Nov. 7. If I have to, I'll crawl over broken glass to do it. And this year I'm voting a straight Republican ticket right down to dog catcher, because I've had it. I'm fed up with the deranged, lying left. They've infected me. I'm now a hater, too.

I don't know about you, but I'd happily offer up some nice broken glass for this psychotic former Bush administration lackey.

Something I've noticed about both the right wing nuts and the Christian nuts; despite being the majority, or in control, they act like they are an oppressed minority. They apparently can't tolerate the slightest criticism or disagreement. (Probably because their whole belief structure would come crashing down if it had to be rationally justified.)

Oh, and this guy should be glad he didn't work for the Clinton White House; then he might know something about hatred and abuse.

I think that's a big part of it, yeah, but beyond that they rely on anger to keep their adherents loyal. They must be oppressed in order to fuel their righteous indignation and their certainty that life would be great if someone weren't always trying to get them. They need wars, or more precisely, crusades to keep the faithful in line.

Oh, and this guy should be glad he didn't work for the Clinton White House; then he might know something about hatred and abuse.

Thing is he'd never see it, hypocrisy, projection and moral relativism are the life's blood of the current administration and their sycophants. I'm sure he could rationalize a way that everything done to Clinton was justified and not at all like what poor Saint Bush is being subjected to.

Maybe it's just me...

ObSnob: You know, for someone who made a living as being a speech writer for the President of the United States he really doesn't write very well. He seems to have mastered spell-check, but his arguments are neither compelling nor coherent. His words certainly don't flow easily to be read aloud. I would think a professional speech writer might be expected to be more creative in his descriptions.

Then again, my idealisms about speech writing were formed by Aaron Sorkin, so maybe most speech writers do write like angry high school students.

All that aside, I wondered how crazy it would drive a person to have to spend their time writing speeches for Bush and then listen to him mis-pronounce, mis-inflect, mis-read, and butcher your work. And now I know.

I hate to disillusion you further, but you should really check out Our Lady of the Dolphins Peggy Noonan (speechwriter for the Gipper) some time. She's not a quivering ball of rage like this guy, but...well imagine if Luna Lovegood became a partisan hack and religious fundamentalist and I think you'll have a pretty clear picture of Noonan.

You know I hadn't really thought of that, but it does make a great deal of sense. It also allows me to feel a bit of sympathy for this poor insane man.

That's one of the interesting things about these guys - when they start to lose control and/or see their plans go to shit - they also lose control of their emotions. Rumsfeld, Cheney and Bush all lose it when they are seriously questioned about their errors.

It's one of the things that will wake up the average (stupid) American who voted for these guys. When they see how monstrous these men are they will cringe.

Oh how I'd love to believe that, but anyone who hasn't clued into this yet may simply be too immersed in the Kool-Aid to shake it off now. And some, god help them, will actually see it as a positive thing.

I think only if their shit was working. When things aren't working and all they can do is display anger, then people begin to question.

But I share your cynicism.
