Some nice television for the morning
10 Mar
Flipping through the channels for some appropriate background noise, I came across someting on HBO called “Right America: Feeling Wronged” and boy howdy, we’re a fine bunch of people I’ll tell ya.
The documentary (so far) consists of interviews with people, apparently before the election, who are rabidly anti Obama. The interviews so far have been with some good old boys at a gas station, most of them were convinced that Obama is a Muslim, a few have said that he was involved in 9/11. They’ve more or less all said that Obama was going to remove the flags from places, that the drop in the market prior to the elections were Obama’s fault, etc…etc…etc…
My political stance notwithstanding, this is very scary. Scary in an “omigod” sort of way in that the next election may or may not result in Republicans gaining more seats in Congress. I’m afraid that they’ll pander to the extreme right wing and then we’re in trouble.
Serious trouble.
This is perhaps the most disturbing thing I’ve ever seen. Even more disturbing than Bango The Clown does Dallas porn. And that was awfully distrubing.
