Army of Dog

Don’t ask why or how, but as I was surfing the supporter blogs on the Obama campaign website I came across this post by someone named "Abigail."  It’s a self-aggrandizing, incoherent diatribe by someone with a serious martyr complex, but it’s funny, so I share.  If you want to skip the actual reading, I’ll summarize.  Girl who loves the Obamessiah is out on a Friday night wearing her "HUGE" Obama pin.  Some evil, white, misogynistic bastard walks past her and mutters "racist" when he sees the pin on her coat.  Personally, I call bullshit on that story, but I guess it’s possible that random white guys are so exorcised by the Jeremiah Wright controversy that they go around muttering "racist" at Obama supporters.

Where it gets really funny is when our poor supporter uses this anecdote as an excuse to go on an anti-war tear.  Here’s the good part.

Ultimately this man’s response simply reminded me of my twin Brother’s arrogant and mis informed reuplican view point about OBAMA.   Isn’t it amazing that with all the crap with this war- we have seen how this adminstration is LYING to us and how the MSM feeds on this and just perpetuates these lies out of laziness and for a sensationalism that will produce ratings and something to talk about around the water cooler- generating gossip that is empty and false.  It also made me realize- these people who are misinformed- are the ones who still think we should stay in Iraq, who don’t see ALL of the bad things about the war, and instead only a few… So this is what we are up against essentially… But there are more of us who are informed than those who are not (HOPE)!

Now, aside from the indecipherable fucking grammar, I got more than a little tickled by the idea that this idiot actually walks around believing that she’s part of some uber-informed elite because she reads the Obama campaign talking points.  This illustrates perfectly what I’ve said before, there is nothing about the weakness of Obama’s policy positions that will convince empty-headed zombies like Abigail here that he isn’t the Second Coming.  He could get caught tomorrow humping a chicken while writing love poems to Osama bin Laden and they would start claiming that the chicken was asking for it.

As bad as dear Abigail is, she’s a fucking Rhodes Scholar compared to one of her commenters.

Nice thought but I have a bit of trouble liking people who are haters. I have tried for years to educate people without success. Ku Klux Klan people are firm in their beliefs and do not budge or respond to love and reason. For me it has always been like talking to a brick wall. I have found the only thing that works for me is to walk away from the type who’s minds and hearts are closed. I would not make a good Mother Teresa.

Yep, Alyce must be getting awfully tired from dragging her cross around all day.  If only all the Klan members that she tries to "educate" would just put away their hate and open their hearts to her message.

Here’s your little ray of sunshine for today.  People like Alyce and Abigail get to vote, and you have to get at least one of your intelligent friends or family members to go with you to the polls just to cancel them out.  Yeah, my other nickname is Pollyanna.
