Wow! Christmas, er, Chanukah, came early this year. Back in June I wrote this post castigating pseudo-intellectual comedian Jon Stewart, who on his Daily Show declared that Fox News watchers were “extremists who view the world through sh*t-colored glasses.”
This is ostensibly in contrast to the moderate, intelligent, tolerant, and enlightened folk who call themselves “liberal” and vote Democrat.
Lo and behold, this morning my comment box contained this tirade from “Samantha” from Canada (hence the “humour” spelling):
Fucking idiot. Jon Stewart has a hard time showing respect to people with no intelligence (Palin), so don’t you dare say he’s being hypocritical. There’s a difference between disrespecting someone who could potentially ruin the nation you live in and disrespecting a hapless country. This whole post is bullshit. You just don’t like it because you don’t agree. Trust me, if you were left-wing OR had a good sense of humour you would love Jon Stewart.
Fuck that, I’m a huge fan and I am ‘enlightened’...fuck you for generalizing you dick. The audience of FOX are a bunch of redneck sheep, how do you like that? It’s so fucking true...bunch of brainwashed assholes watch FOX...god damn.
Folks, what we have here is textbook example of modern liberalism at its unhinged, obscenity-laden best. Let’s parse this incoherent rant from our self-proclaimed ‘enlightened’ neighbor to the North:
Jon Stewart has a hard time showing respect to people with no intelligence (Palin)
Ah, yes, intelligence, that standard by which all liberal leftists measure value. If you’re not “intelligent,” you’re a worthless piece of crap who deserves no respect.
Two tiny problems with this: First of all, intelligence tends to be very subjectively defined and inconsistently applied. By Samantha’s standard, Barack Obama’s Harvard degree is enough to earn him respect. But by the same logic, George W. Bush’s Yale degree should as well (Oh yeah, I forgot: W’s Daddy got him in, so it doesn’t count.)
If Jon Stewart “has a hard time showing respect” to folks without this precious intelligence, does that include people who were unfortunately born with cerebral palsy, Down’s Syndrome, or any other diseases that affects their “intelligence”? Hell, what about human beings who are 4½ years-old and under? I’ve got two of ‘em at home, and I’ve yet to see them exhibit what Jon Stewart and Samantha evidently consider “intelligence,” such as quote Karl Marx.
I’ll bet Samantha and her enlightened ilk have much respect for the Brazilian jungle rainforest and the endangered Zayante Band-winged Grasshopper, yet the Brazilian rainforest and Zayante Band-winged Grasshopper are dumber than a two-by-four. (Incidentally, Samantha, I fail to see “redneck sheep” on the endangered species list. You might want to expand the dates of huntin’ season.)
The second problem about Samantha’s (and supposedly Stewart’s) line of reasoning is that intelligence doesn’t equal moral decency. Adolf Hitler, Mao Ze Dong, and Josef Stalin were known to be immensely intelligent (and admired for it). Yet these individuals were directly or indirectly responsible for the deaths of nearly 100 million human beings between them. Hey, that’s pretty respectful!
Like the comedian whom she is defending, Samantha disrespects Sarah Palin on the basis that she’s not intelligent. True, Palin has no Ivy League college degree to speak of. The left incessantly ridicules her for not knowing anything that would make her eligible to be president of the United States. Yet they have gladly and willingly granted that very position to Barack Obama, who every single day demonstrates he too knows nothing. It never seems to bother the left that Sarah Palin speaks more intelligibly without a TelePrompter than Barack Obama with one. If Barack Obama appears more intelligent than Sarah Palin, it is because the man has an air of arrogance, conceit, and superiority that has rarely been exceeded by a public figure. Human beings who are actually intelligent enough to see through Obama’s charade know full well that he’s an empty suit who has sold America a bill of goods of which they are slowly and painfully becoming aware.
Of course, the main difference between the “unintelligent” Sarah Palin and the “intelligent” Barack Obama is one of decency and moral character. This is easily determined (even by us redneck sheep) on the reliable bases of life decisions, quotes cited, and company kept. I have argued on this blog that not only is Barack Obama a bad president, but he’s a (morally) bad human being. Consider: Barack Obama’s science czar John Holdren believes in eugenics and has said that babies aren’t even fully human until they’re at least a few years old and have been properly socialized. His health care advisor Zeke Emanuel has said that a 25-year-old’s life takes priority over a 65-year-old’s. (Talk about age discrimination!)
In short, there’s much truth to William F. Buckley’s famous quote: I’d rather entrust the government of the United States to the first 400 people listed in the Boston telephone directory than to the faculty of Harvard University.
so don’t you dare say he’s being hypocritical.
Sweetheart, the word “hypocritical” isn’t mentioned throughout my entire post.
You just don’t like it because you don’t agree.
Well, duh! Let’s assume Samantha doesn’t agree with George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, Sarah Palin, Ann Coulter, Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, etc. But that doesn’t necessarily mean you don’t like them, right, Samantha? (Truth be told, I actually do think Jon Stewart is funny; I just don’t like it when he talks politics. Put that in your hash pipe and smoke it.)
Trust me, if you were left-wing OR had a good sense of humour you would love Jon Stewart.
Notice the “OR” in caps. Is Samantha saying that being left-wing and having a good sense of humour are mutually exclusive? If so, then this is potentially the only correct assertion she’s made in her entire rant comment.
Samantha’s finale is my favorite part:
fuck you for generalizing you dick. The audience of FOX are a bunch of redneck sheep, how do you like that? It’s so fucking true...bunch of brainwashed assholes watch FOX...god damn.
Notice that in the very sentence after she chastises me for generalizing, she … um, generalizes about Fox News watchers! (Notice I didn’t even mention FNC once in the original post either. The moral: When a lefty is on an unhinged tirade, be prepared for Fox News to come up.)
Yeah, you nailed it, Samantha. FNC watchers are just redneck sheep and brainwashed assholes. Like my in-laws who are life-long registered Democrats and Obama-voters; they watch FNC all the time.
FNC watchers are just redneck sheep and brainwashed assholes. Unlike the open-minded, independent-thinking MSNBC audience who watch hopelessly left-wing Andrea Mitchell, followed by hopelessly left-wing Chris Matthews, followed by hopelessly left-wing Ed Schultz, followed by hopelessly left-wing Keith Olbermann, followed by hopelessly left-wing Rachel Maddow. Now that’s an audience who isn’t brainwashed!
Thank you, Samantha, for writing. Your comment was more enlightening than I’ll bet you ever could have imagined.
Please write again.
P.S. Hope you don’t kiss your mother with that filthy mouth.
