stupidity run rampant
breitbart is the dumbest site on the web. and those who watch and believe it... well... i dunno. incredible. they have taken one paragraph out of president obama's fine un speech, twisted the words, and made it into a this:

Today, President Barack Obama stated that negativity about Islam was a message that had to be rejected “by all who respect our common humanity.” Even as our ambassador in Libya is murdered by Islamists; even as Islamists in Egypt threaten Israel’s southern border and persecute Coptic Christians; even as Islamists in Iran threaten nuclear annihilation for the State of Israel; even as Islamists around the globe burn restaurants, attack police, and storm embassies, President Obama thinks that our “common humanity” requires us to reject anti-Islam material.

Here’s what he said:

Moreover, there will always be those that reject human progress – dictators who cling to power, corrupt interests that depend upon the status quo; and extremists who fan the flames of hate and division …. At times, the conflicts arise along the fault lines of faith, race or tribe; and often they arise from the difficulties of reconciling tradition and faith with the diversity and interdependence of the modern world. In every country, there are those who find different religious beliefs threatening; in every culture, those who love freedom for themselves must ask how much they are willing to tolerate freedom for others. That is what we saw play out the last two weeks, as a crude and disgusting video sparked outrage throughout the Muslim world. I have made it clear that the United States government had nothing to do with this video, and I believe its message must be rejected by all who respect our common humanity.

so, what he said was, religious tolerance is important, the us government had nothing to do with the video, and its message of intolerance must be rejected. and breitbart completely twists the message into, 'we must reject anti-islam material.' wtf??? 90% of the speech was about people's right to make and post just such hateful messages!!! but, breitbart cannot be bothered with context, accuracy, or veracity.

and those who believe this crap? willing dupes who seem to embrace ignorance and myopia as a central tenet of their value system. wow. this is a new low.

I hadn't looked at brietbart.com since the death of its founder.

You are right. Its gotten more dumb, and it appears to have caught rabies as well.

Breitbart is mindless propaganda and lies without redeeming merit.

more stupidity from dim-bart
'Romney’s sunlight is the best antidote for Obama’s work in the shadows, and the American people love sunlight.'

romney's sunlight? i am dying laughing here. he has no coherent plan for anything. lower taxes and rollback regulations. and his position changes every 20 minutes.

if that is sunlight, a total eclipse is going to give us all malignant melanomas!
