I...what?

Did he just totally devalue ALL public speaking ability? Is being articulate officially a flaw now?

Do you read this journal ;) ?

Point.

That statement about Obama is just the most blatant calling out of talent I've seen recently. It's startling.

I'd recommend the movie Idiocracy, but it's too scary now.

Someone from Fox News made a statement with no logical basis that was meant to cause fear and distrust? How shocking.

The good news is that apparently the worst thing people can find to say about Obama is that he's too popular.

By this person's criteria, anyone from a pee-wee league coach to a major rock band can be considered "like Hitler." And woe be to all those motivational speakers out there...

What a disgusting calculated move. "But...I was complimenting the guy! Really!"

Oy. Thanks for the lead.

...but if some random person on the internet submits an ad to MoveOn that compares Bush to Hitler, that's bad, right? I just can't keep up.

So someone at Fox was dumb enough not only to read Jonah Goldberg's book, but to also run with the concept on the air.

To tie this in with your NYT article from yesterday, Idiocracy is no longer satire; it's a depressing documentary.

This must be because them massacring his name and calling Osama bin Obama and shit was getting old...is there any dictator he won't be compared to?

[lordrexfear.livejournal.com]

What next?

I'm guessing comparing Obama to Idi Amin...cause you know. They're both black.

and if someone somehwere does this and doesn't do it an obviously joking manner... I'm gonna start looking for murder loopholes.
