Evan Thomas: "Well, we were the good guys in 1984. Hasn't felt that way in recent years. We're seen too often as a bad guys. And he is a very different job from Reagan was all about America, and he talked about it. Obama is, we are above that now. We're not just parochial, we're not just chauvinistic, we're not just provincial. We stand for something. I mean, in a way Obama's standing above the country, above the world. He's sort of God."
Christ Matthews: "Yeah."
Evan Thomas: "He's going to bring all different sides together."
Thus spake the editor of Newsweek. With the approval of the grovelling Greek Chorus, Chris Matthews.
All the angry & outraged rejectors of the idea that we are going down the path of 1930's Germany might want to meditate on that declaration and response—and on the wonderous, echoing silence in the Slobbering Media that followed it.

P.S. Please note this comment on the [first] linked story:GSThe adage used to be "how many angels can dance on the head of a pin". Now it has become ''how many puckered lips can press on the scrawny butt of a politician".I don't care who you are....that there's funny.
You Do know his grandfather was Socialist Norman Thomas,don't you? 'dem Socialists hate God,but LOVE their man-gods and cults of personality.Not so "progressive",eh? Are any remnants of Obama hamburger lunches on E-Bay,yet?
ReplyDeleteWe'll start seeing corn-chips with Obama's face...and grilled cheese sandwiches.
ReplyDeleteIn fact it EXACTLY "Progressive" in the political sense. It's just what they believe, that a strong MAN should LEAD the people, because GOD of religion does not exist.
Sorry,had to add...Is there nothing so "parochial" and "provincial" as worshipping a man as a god? And they claim to be so "intellectual" and "sophisticated"...but I repeat myself...
ReplyDeletesorry for overlap of comment...And I was making nachos! I'm a-scared to look,Gunny...
ReplyDeleteI am NOT a citizen of the world.
ReplyDeleteThey use words in ways that have no meaning. Parochial....the entire United States? Are they stupid?
Oops...silly me.
Reading of Marx...the "revolution" will NOT be led by the People themselves,but by an "elite" class of "intellectual thinkers".So much for trusting the regular folks....they never have,they never will.THAT's The Big Lie...a cover-up for gangster-ism.
