Dumbest of the dumb: Right Wingnuts.

http://bluntandcranky.wordpress.com/2014/03/18/dumbest-of-the-dumb-right-wingnuts/

"Honorable mention to the few remaining Putinistas among us, of course, but Right Wingnuts win this competition going away. Behold this survey of same from their favorite “news” source, World Net Daily:

?w=460

Yes, you saw that correctly. A Chicago Lawyer is supposedly more evil than men whose governments literally slaughtered millions of innocents. You can read the screed here if you have the stomach for it. Truly magnificent stupidity on display, both by the “writer” and the World Nut Daily readers who responded to the survey.

If you think that giving people a break on their doctor bills is worse than murdering six million people, then you, Sir, are dumber than a box of rocks; nay, half a box. And if you think that the failure to nuke Iran (or anywhere else) is more evil than killing millions of other people, then you, Madam, are dumber than a single rock. No, make that a single pebble.

Its a known fact now that Right Wingnuts are dumb. They are dumb because they will justify anything if it fits into their perception of what is right or wrong, no matter how hypocritical and how idiotic those perceptions are.

I wont stop there, I will say there are many democrats who also are dumb as they do the same but to less effect.

For instance many democrats (and a lot of them are on here) will justify one situation or perception whilst at the very same time condemn the very same situation when it happens again.

Examples are plenty:

1) plenty of democrats applauded the mass protests in Egypt as democracy in action, which the army then used as a pretext to carry out a coup, yet later on these democrats condemned the mass protests from the Muslim Brotherhood and applauded the army violently cracking down of them

2) plenty of democrats applaud the protests in Ukraine that resulted in replacing an elected leader with an installed pro-western 'caretaker' government but will definitely condemn any protests that result in the 'caretaker' government being deposed and replaced by a pro-Russian government.

3) plenty of democrats rightly railed against Bush when he used drones and killed many innocent people, yet these democrats wholeheartedly support Obama's use of drones when it results in the same innocent deaths.

4) plenty of democrats rightly railed against Bush when he gave plenty of leeway to the CIA, yet these same democrats support Obama giving the CIA the same leeway when spying, conducting secret missions, etc.


So you see, this dumb disease that Republicans where they justify anything to suit their perception of things is not just limited to them, but many of us democrats suffer from it to.

And I truly mean that. And this is not intended to be a personal attack, so please don't take it as such. But I was in stitches when I saw the very last word in the post was the misuse of "to", a pet peeve of mine. But in this case it was somehow apropos

Thanks, but I must confess, the 'to' at the end of the post wasn't a way for me to illustrate my post, and it definitely wasn't me suffering from not being educated enough o know the difference between 'to' and 'too', it was just simply me typing fast and not checking my comment to see if the every key I pressed on the keyboard actually showed up in my text
