Dear jeebus, seriously, will someone just shoot me in the freaking head if this abject insanity gets any worse? Words just seriously fail for the levels of batshit craziness being gobbled up by the poundful on both the far right and the far-far-right:Seriously. I hardly have the snark in my quiver to fully address this. I am going to be sooooo fucking tired by the end of Obama's eight years in office...For the past couple of weeks, Fox News’ Sean Hannity has been aggressively pushing the talking point that the Obama White House is compiling an “enemies list.” That wild accusation came in response to Obama communications director Anita Dunn’s suggestion that Fox News operates as a “communications arm” of the GOP.
“I mean, is this an enemies list? Seems like it to me,” Hannity said on his program last Wednesday. “They want to come after the Fox News Channel,” the right-wing pundit complained. Almost every night in recent weeks, Hannity has badgered his guests, demanding that they take up his talking point. Last night, Liz Cheney took the bait:HANNITY: It seems to me, it’s almost like an enemies list. Is that a fair description?
CHENEY: Well, uhh, yeah.On Fox News Sunday this past weekend, Karl Rove propagated the talking point. “Let’s not kid ourselves — this is the White House engaging in its own version of a media enemies list,” Rove said.
Yesterday, Hannity won his biggest convert yet. Sen. Lamar Alexander (R-TN) took to the Senate floor and read Sean Hannity’s talking points into the congressional record:ALEXANDER: I want to make what I hope will be a friendly suggestion to President Obama and his White House, and it is this: don’t create an enemies list. […]
So in conclusion Mr. President, here’s my point. These are unusually difficult times with plenty of forces encouraging us to disagree. Let’s not start calling people out and compiling an enemies list.
By the way, how do you like that Globe cover up above? Did you notice who they think is on Obama's nefarious "enemies list"? Toby Keith - the country singer!If some mouth-breathing, 400-lb redneck housewife in Tuscaloosa reads that article and seriously comes to believe that Barack Obama actually gives a fuck about Toby Keith -- off to the death panel with her. Forthwith.
