Have some highlights from last Wednesday’s Grover Norquist breakfast meeting:Spinning more war rather than acknowledging that the US is in serious trouble, Bushco moves forward with plans to support an Israeli nuclear strike against Iran. Then, when the protests erupt, they will send troops into US cities, using "non-lethal" weapons to increase fear and vile coercion to oppress and repress dissent and opposition. Finally, they will cancel 2008 elections as the entire US economy goes into the toilet.
* Tony Snow: “The Iranian people are more pro American than any American university faculty.”
Yes i am making this up, sort of. Most serious political critics of Bushco acknowledge that what i suggest is all too entirely possible, and therein lies the tragedy and travesty of Snow's offhand stupid comment. Are we really to believe that the entire 68 million Iranians are loving the US more than the entire US demographic of faculty at this nation's 2500 four year universities and colleges??? Of course not. This is pure bullshit hyperbole, but for what purpose.
The Iranians certainly don't care. US university students and faculty know this is pure falsehood and lies. The vast majority of media reporting understands Snow is fabricating. Yet no one is holding him accountable for why he is doing so. The remark on its face is polarizing and partisan. It reeks of a hideous and vile anti-intellectualism, reducing academics to the status of un-american sub-humans, lesser than even the despicable hezbollah and hamas revolutionary classes of Iran. So why was Tony saying this??
Because he's an asshole!
