lagilman: Does Not Play Well With Stupid People (stupid people)
[personal profile] lagilman
Just when I think the stupid can't pile any deeper, Fox News (of course) proves me wrong. When co-host Bob Beckel asked why the weapons of mass destruction Bush claimed Iraq possessed were never found, Mediaite caught (Fox Host) Bolling’s novel response: “Whether they did or didn’t, America was certainly safe between 2000 and 2008. I don’t remember any terrorist attacks on American soil during that period of time.”

Um. Um? WTF, Bolling? WTF?

The residents of New York City and Washington DC would like you to come over here so we can bitchslap you. All of us, one at a time.

About a year ago, we over-nighted at a motel, which, of course, had Fox News on in the breakfast room, so I was able to actually See and Hear an apparently rational adult woman assert to two interviewers that there had been no terrorist actions on US soil during George Bush's presidency. I stood there with my bagel in one hand and my coffee in the other, staring at the screen with my mouth hanging open, waiting for the interviewers to say, "Are you STUPID?" or words to that effect, but -- they just nodded and moved on to the next question.

I wish I could say that was an inconceivable statement, but I do not think that word means what I think it means...

Well, yeah, they knocked those towers down 'cuz of asbestos, don't'cha know. Got nothing to do with terrorists. Terrorists are all afraid of America. Cuz we have god and the bill of rights on our side.... I despair, truly I do.

And the rest of us who've had to put up with the security theater instituted by the Bush administration will line up behind the resides of NYC and DC to help you finish the job....

WTF?

Dear. Fracking. Lord. The stupid, it burns.

Nope. Still can't think of anything to say that does not contain expletives.

I think the point being missed here is that they actually believe that, because they believe terrorists had nothing to do with the World Trade Center, that it was an American and/or American-Zionist conspiracy.

And LBJ killed JFK and the moon landings were faked.

Stranger things have happened.

What appalls me more is... Someone listening probably believed it.

Unfortunately, lots and lots of people did. Almost guaranteed.
