I bet you think that I’m being over the top in a Olbermann-eque way, right? Well, I’m tired of being nice, tired of parsing my words when talking about politics. I’ve always hated niceties for niceties sake. Sometimes, issues aren’t seen in shades of grey, but in black and white. This is one of those. James Inhofe- the Senator who denies global warming, has espoused racist and sexist sentiments has now gone a bit too far. So I’ll go as far as I want in denouncing him. Here’s why:
Mark down Sen. Jim Inhofe (R-OK) as one of the more outspoken critics of President Obama’s speech yesterday in Egypt — in fact, he told The Oklahoman the speech was “un-American” for calling the Iraq conflict a “war of choice.”
Inhofe also blasted Obama for implying that torture had taken place at Guantanamo Bay: “There has never been a documented case of torture at Guantanamo.”
“I just don’t know whose side he’s on,” Inhofe added.
James Inhofe just called a sitting President of the United States un-American and intoned that President Obama was on the side of our enemies. In case he wasn’t being a clear enough asshole, he threw in a denial of torture in Guantanamo for good measure.
Yup, Inhofe is a cocksucker. I’m not even making a turn of phrase. I fully invite Inhofe to open his mouth and shove his own cock in it, which is vastly preferable to him opening his mouth and speaking at this point.
Dude, you’re not helping. President Obama is doing exactly what one of the paragons of your party, Mr. Bully Pulpit himself Teddy Roosevelt, said. He’s speaking softly and carrying a big stick. He’s trying to extend a hand instead of pointing a gun, but all the time reminding the world that while we’d rather win them over through diplomacy and common ground, we can beat the shit out of you if we really wanted to.
What Inhofe apparently believes we should do is not engage over 1 billion people on this earth, simply because a teeny-tiny faction is radical enough to offend us. If the rest of the world held us as Americans in the same regard, no one would ever talk to us. We have our fair share of radicalists, too. The Muslim world spans countries and languages and most of them have more in common with you and I, as far as wanting what is best for their friends and families and wanting to live a happy life. They are not a teeming mass of terrorists, they are us and we are them. Not recognizing that is hypocritical at best and fucking stupid at worst.
So, as long as you’re going to act like a cocksucker, Senator Inhofe, I’d like to invite you to blow me.
