It's midnight and I'm zoning out on Sean Hannity on Fox News again. Newt Gingrich, former House Speaker and environmental savant, was invited to offer some commentary against Barack Obama via criticisms of Rev. Jeremy Wright. I enjoyed how Gingrich was trying to suggest Obama's judgment was impaired as evidenced by his ignorance of Wright's controversial views. However, my favorite part is when Gingrich objected to Wright's comparison of the morality of the bombing of Hiroshima [140,000 people dead] and the attack on New York on September 11, 2001 [3,000 people dead], as if to imply the atomic bombing of Hiroshima was justifiable and excusable. Will someone please explain to me the moral uprightness of a nuclear holocaust? [Not to mention the devastation of Nagasaki...80,000 dead.] Or maybe my favorite part was when Hannity was hanging on Gingrich's balls, which was the entire time. Not that this was at all of any importance--it was the most subtle faux-pas, but one I cared to jump on because I am holding a grudge against Newt.
Is anyone concerned that "American" is not a race? (That is to suggest, anti-American comments are not racist, right?)
So many far-fetched leaps to bring down Obama. Louis Farrakhan! Reverand Wright! Anti-Semitism! Hold on--isn't Obama a closet Muslim?! No no no--he's a racist black Christian--but not a real Christian: his pastor, who is friends with Farrakhan, teaches evil black liberation theology. White Americans are freaking out!
