Of President Obama's leading critics, only those on the left are credible. And I can't say I disagree with them. Then again, the Democrats are the party that gives us DLC lightweights like Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi, so you can't say you truly expected Obama to be a giant of populism.
Obama's critics on the right, however, are as irrational as one would expect. And that's being kind. Many of them are frankly Nazi.
It's a harsh description, but it's entirely fair, considering this message I received from a follower of the rightist strain of criticism:
"Bandit, let me know if you'd like a link to a picture of Obama buddy William Ayres [sic] standing on the flag. You're too young to remember him, but he's a communist and in the 60's he was a homeland terrorist bomber connected to the 'weathermen', and he and Obama go back. You are who you hang with man."
If I'm too young to remember Ayers, then Obama probably is too. The spittle contingent has long been trying to blame Obama for what Ayers did when Obama was only 8 years old - even though the closest connection these two men have with each other is that they both served on the same antipoverty board.
That's like blaming Paul Wellstone for things Jesse Helms did just because they both served in the Senate at the same time.
To be brutally blunt, the Obama/Ayers controversy has appeal only to Nazis - because it is bogus. And I guarantee you if the commenter who sent me that message had the nerve to make this comment to my face instead of over the Internets (sic), they'd be looking at some mighty costly dental bills.
Anyone who truly believes there are any major links between Ayers and Obama is too stupid to vote. I have no patience for such deliberate ignorance.
The commenter who sent me that message is a Nazi. End of story.
The comment was prompted by my exposing the Cincinnati Tea Party terrorists for their disrespect of the national anthem during their March farce. Instead of standing respectfully, they decided to get up and dance like there was a big disco ball suspended from the sky.
Since that clip irritated the fascist brain trust so much the first time (because it exposed their lack of patriotism), here it is again:
(Facebook folks may want to hound Facebook some more if that clip isn't showing up.)
