The Right Is So Damn Petty

[ChoppinBroccoli]

I open up my Facebook page tonight just to check updates, and as I scroll through my friends' statuses, a keep coming up with a few comments on the President's speech tonight. Quite predictably, the ONLY people commenting were right-wingers with............say it with me, now.........negative, nitpicky, bullshit things to say about it. "Oh! It sounded like a campaign speech!" "Oh! Was it a pep rally or a memorial?" "Oh! How inappropriate for a memorial!" Whine, whine, complain, complain. You just KNOW that they were sitting there, hanging on his every word, just looking for something..........ANYTHING........that they could criticize (meanwhile, the entire message conveyed passed right through their empty heads without even pausing to rattle around for a bit). I swear, the right-wingers in this country are so damn petty that if the President said something like, "Ice cream is tasty," or "Baby ducks are cute," they'd find SOMETHING to criticize about it or some deep, dark political motive behind it.

Oh, and if you don't believe me, just wait until tomorrow and listen to what the right-wing screamers on bile radio will be saying about it. Same petty crap.

2. Thats what worries me about Obama's stirring speech tonight

It will resonate more with the left and the center, but the right wont care, so we end up with a one sided temporary cease fire.

The crazies cant be reasoned with.
