Manufactured outrage of the day: Town-hall questioner calls himself a “proud right-wing terrorist”
Manufactured outrage of the day: Town-hall questioner calls himself a “proud right-wing terrorist”
HOT AIR
Olbermann spent a few minutes on this last night, wetting himself at the idea that anyone might use a term like “terrorist” loosely or lightly even though he’s been doing it himself for years. Now HuffPo’s picked up the meme. I can’t tell if they’re honestly oblivious to this guy’s sarcasm or if they’re picking it up just fine and ignoring it in the interest of political point-scoring, but he’s laying it on with a trowel. Do liberals really not get the references here? He claims to have said things that are “fishy,” he’s attended one of those mob-like tea parties, and now, heaven forbid, he’s embraced the “terrorist” within: He’s transparently mocking the left’s hysterical demagoguery over grassroots conservatives’ protests. And the left is either too dumb or too dishonest to recognize it.
Since when does the Left have an exclusive on the use of hyperbole? Olbermann, like others who have jettisoned logic and reason as commentary tools, is left only with brute ignorance, scantily clad in failed attempts at humor.
