There’s a video of Bill Ayers joking that he wrote President Obama’s book Dreams of My Fathers, adding, “And if you help me prove it, I’ll split the royalties with you.”
And of course, wingnuts are too stupid/humor impaired to recognize Ayers was being facetious. They think it’s a real confession. More proof that it’s a waste of time to try to reason with them.
When dealing with Conservatives, it’s important to remember that they suffer from an irony deficiency.
If Obama had a sense of humor, next Holloween, he should get dressed-up as a witchdoctor. Or a Mau Mau warrier.
Their heads would absoutely explode!
I am sure a lot of them will find that President Obama has also cheated Bill Ayers out of his rightful compensation. He just gets more and more evil.
I am deeply saddened by the death of Joe Bageant, but I admire the way he spent his last years. He has inspired me to hope for one last adventure as I grow older. He was a great writer.
I recall that “Counterpunch” had an interview with him called “Bageantry”. It was one of the most impressive interviews I have ever read.
I guess it’s time to open that bottle of Knob Creek I’ve been hoarding.
There are times when Republicans remind me of the characters in the movie “The Invention of Lying”. Once Ricky Gervais’ character realizes he can say things that aren’t true, he’s constantly coping with the fact that people automatically accept everything he says as fact.
Not only do rank-and-file right-wingers get confused by sarcasm and facetiousness, they are also stupidly accepting of the things Boehner, McConnell et al. say.
On the other hand, they never believe facts that don’t agree with them, no matter how well documented, so it isn’t quite the same. But it’s still remarkable how differently their true/false sensors work.
And, biggerbox, the purveyors of the gobble-d-gook never the let the facts interfere with a good argument.
Meanwhile, trying to install bugs in a U.S. senator’s office is hi-LAIR-ious! Also any misquotations that can get a person of color fired.
Holy crap, the comments over on American Thinker about this video are like the Barack Obama conspiracy theory clearing house, and a guy who clearly has has no idea why “cliches” are called “cliches”. Must be some kinda French word, we don’t speak French in America…I guess?
There’s a reason why many conservatives think that Stephen Colbert’s character is real.
Yeah, I await the head-explosions when they contemplate taking the side of poor Bill Ayers. It won’t be an easy decision, but the fact that Ayers is white will tip the balance.
The Hated: Planned Parenthood, gays, atheists, socialists, government, UN, Mexicans, public workers, labor unions, the French, Kenyans, elites, school teachers, Muslims, Obama, his wife, Reid, Pelosi, George Soros, Russia, NPR, scientists, Hollywood, the EPA, Democrats, conservationists, hippies, the NYTimes…When one is absorbed in this much hatred, nothing can possibly be funny.
I forgot: 2nd Amendment opponents, evolutionists, liberals, Arabs, progressives, right-to-life women, – did I leave anyone out?
And I am a penguin.
I expect a wingnut any moment to express horror over the fact that, as a bird, I might carry bird flu or somethin’…. not to mention, how do I type with those stubby little flippers anyhow? And aren’t I a bit far from home in the Silly Cone Valley?!
