“psychologically deficient” – Yesterday, John McLaughlin dipped into his biased view…

[bridgit]

Of Pres. Barack Obama’s mental landscape insofar as the decades on-going US-Russian START accord is concerned that has produced the updated, recently negotiated and signed before the world’s view, in Prague, along with Russian Pres. Dimitri Medvedev – a daunting too often thankless task fashioned to enhance levels of balanced approach to matters involving a class of weaponry already well-able to disrupt & destroy the world on a Biblical scale several times over; while reducing what are understood as rogue elements with their attending plans for conventional, nuclear, pathogen based hopes and weaponry, etc, seeking disadvantage upon a world itself seeking stability and not the disruption of it

McLaughlin has done so from within what has become the morphing monster of a RW/hate-based propaganda machine of the GO-Tea Bagger Party; by asking point-blank coast-to-coast and round the world:

”We’re talking about the psychology of Barack Obama – does anyone on this set feel, that given the, uh, attack by a nuclear power on The United States with the bomb (certainly presumably ‘the bomb’) that Barack Obama is psychologically deficient in being able to say ‘I will nuke that nation’”

Asked from within not a sense of loyal but pridefully ignorant, divergent opposition to very fluid pliable stipulations addressed by Robert Gates; an ignoble republican opposition that remains consistent with any such misread by republicanism’s head long fall/flapping instead into the face of republican political obscurity

McLaughlin - doddering old Jesuit supremacist - does so in front of no-less than: Pat Buchanan, who has already passed prelim up & down hand-through-air chopping dismissal of Obama’s every other intention that *now* includes this one – and their White Queen Monica Crowley the ultimately condescending, smirking, thinly decorous, honey coiffed cat when not spitting along side Michelle Malkin shrieking their anti-American diatribes into the cameras of FOXnews – a Monica Crowley poor Monica that has now developed her very own ‘up & down hand-through-air chopping’ nervous tick

Aside for a moment that McLaughlin, Buchanan, Crowley and every other large or small ‘r’ republican up & down the rank & file line are, as it turns out, unable to digest even the words of their own both sainted *&* doddering Ronald Reagan on the matter:

"For the eight years I was president, I never let my dream of a nuclear-free world fade from my mind."

They do so by casting psychiatric aspersion upon a sitting POTUS – Barack Obama - the way they would otherwise reserve and do so where North Korea, Iran, the Taliban, etc, or some nefarious faceless amalgam of terrorist forces so-arrayed that republicans aid & abet with comforts instead

McLaughlin – receding old republican hack – may actually think he is doing so because that’s where ‘the ratings game’ is as with the case for Limbaugh, Coulter, Beck, Hannity, O’Reilly and many others and so he rises the vintage barnyard banty rooster to cash Obama out, a sitting Dem POTUS, for the twinkle the likes of spunky Michelle’ Backmann & Malkin, the Sarah Palin' of the world, the honey coiffed comely of a Monica Crowley who sits and enjoys McLaughlin’s googley eyed fawning at his stage-right hand, but, you know, either way he does so, they do so, untethered they all do so to the even greater peril & disruption of America as a nation.

Pleased, the matter of McLaughlin's media flirtation he concludes, after the general disintegration of a discussion on the issue of a US-Russian START accord he has framed as such himself amid finger pointing, shouting, hand-chopping disrespect (as is the RW’s way), but only after Mort Zuckerman states firstly that he believes Obama to not be found so deficient: “Alright, I think we all agree, except for Eleanor, who’s declining to answer” which of course she did not = The McLaughlin Group

A Most Grave Matter Indeed ~

Impugning the psychological stability of a sitting POTUS insofar as the development, deployment, verification, non-proliferation and handling of nuclear weaponry & materials in a dangerous nuclear triggered world plays as if some of the very most weak-gripped, loose-minded talk an American could ever expect to hear from a domestic enemy

The trajectory of frenetic republicanism is clear enough: that at the end of the RW's wantonly misrepresented stylings - republicans have proven, hopefully for the last time, that they have nothing to offer but feeble errant "No!" and disruption in their course of suggesting even Def Sec, Robert Gates to be a somehow tangentially duplicitous character unable to weigh properly cost, cause or effect while ultimately admitting that republicans never paid a single scrap of attention to their own bought and paid for corporate mouthpiece: Ronald Reagan

1. My RW coworkers believe that President Obama would not

retaliate with nukes if we are nuked. All I can do is look at them like they have lost their minds. I tell them that if we are attacked and nukes are not used we should not retaliate with nukes. Then they say well President Obama shouldn't tell our enemies what our plan is.....I reply "you do know that even though he communicates his plans all enemies in the world know that the U.S will use whatever appropriate weapons are necessary for the occassion"?

The RW wants perpetual war so they can have Armegeddon....

[madchick44]

2. Well, they are going to get "armegeddon" without war if

the teabaggers keep at it.

3. Aren't RWers cute, quite nearly childlike in the ways they view the world...

In the 'what if' event - which is where they prefer all the responsibilities for their prejudices reside - of a nuclear exchange (since they brought it up) I believe that Obama would properly weigh matters. To McLaughlin's odd benefit, he was finally compelled to cite Obama as "a good deal maker" after witnessing first hand how pushed & pulled his remark became when dropped so casually between Buchanan and Crowley - and we know they are just two manic RWers: 2, with the rest of them standing round water coolers diluting every good will America ever had

And they are learning different ways to do it, "communicates his plans" is a facet of "telegraphing his punch" and that is already RW boiler plate TPM on the matter so they really behave more as parrots than people

Can the RW be so simple minded? Do they think that the START accord is a flat piece of paper? And that Glenn Beck is a multi-faceted Renaissance intellectual? Cause if that's what's going down I say we pick them up a batch of cheap quartz watches they won't have to wonder or wonder how they tick

[MadMaddie]

4. You have summed it up nicely. I honestly believe they

are that simple and deluded. I also believe that they haven't caught onto how President Obama operates and it is driving them crazy. He would not have made his statements without having a backup plan. I believe what he is doing has elements of tactics and strategy. Something must be working because Iran's president is screaming at the top of his lungs to the world. There is more going on here. Iran's unemployment rate is at 20% and the sanctions are really starting to hurt the populace....

5. Thanks, Maddie, for being the only DUer interested in grappling...

With issues such a the US-Russia START accord and the way in which Pres. Obama is trying to enhance it, you know - sense we started keying; Rachel has produced as pithy a piece regarding this subject as one could expect within a 10-12min broadcast w/Suskind involving the handling of materials already extremely unstable *while* in the middle of Chile's greatest earthquake registered as one of the largest in some 50+ years - very scary the tasks some are charged with; very 'roll the dice' kind of stuff without Mother Nature bearing down so, whew! Big, big stuff

And so I appreciate her efforts for pointing out such matters as well - though also since we've been keying: Pres. Obama brought together a nuke summit and lo & behold matters are rolling ~

So much so that republicans have been caught completely flat-footed having to reach in & misconstrue the words of Ronald Reagan in their attempts to put their little trolley back on the tracks boo hoo

Thanks again, Maddie, you rock :yourock:

6. That fucker is still on the air?

Sheesh! Someone needs to retire his trifling ass already.

7. Heh! You got that right, Rainey
