I love articles like this, big, long, chewy things. The writer takes time to introduce you to both the atmosphere and the subject, and does it in a bloody goddamned IMPARTIAL fashion somehow. But while it is interesting indeed to read about Limbaugh’s “Southern Command,” his performance art, even his wardrobe, this right here is the money shot:
The liberal media see this Obama candidacy as historic because race is a big deal to them. They think this country committed Original Sin. I actually believe that most of their support for Obama is that they are creaming in their jeans about the historical nature of the campaign. They want to be a part of it.They want to make it happen. They want a stake in it. They want to be able to say they did it if Obama wins.’
Nailed it. On the nosey. I’ve watched friends, previous friends, and total strangers both go absolutely apeshit over this poser, this non-entity, this “empty suit”, with increasing dismay and utter confusion. Can they be truly so excited about increased taxation? Or is it the thought of “sharing the wealth” that makes their jeans a little tighter?
No, as much as it pains me to say it, Limbaugh has it absolutely right…it’s the weight and heft of history that sings to many of them. America committed a sin by starting causing participating in slavery, and…since we won’t apologize in some financial fashion…we must atone by electing a black mulatto President. And the excitement of being part of such a thing…SWOON.
Hey kids, I used my finger to make an utterly unqualified radical with light brown skin our nation’s leader, aren’t I the shiznit??
Um no, Dad, you’re not. Thanks to you, and all your bamboozled counterparts, I now have to do mandatory unpaid community service and will only take home about 40% of my paycheck from my actual paying job. I can go ask for a handout any time though, so even though I have zero self-respect, and no pride whatsoever, I know I’ll always have someone there to wipe my ass.
