Pat Santy, aka Dr. Sanity, discusses the speech the president and whack job in chief of Iran gave to the United Nations and the willfully stupid people who swallowed the sewage he spewed.
The stupidity of which Wretchard speaks comes in all shapes and sizes, a veritable spectrum that extends from the willful blindness on the part of Western leadership and media; to the passive, uncritical and morally bankrupt minions who nod sagely at any idiocy as they desperately try to maintain a world view that ignores reality as its founding principle.
Both ends of this spectrum of stupidity are incapable of responding in any appropriate manner to the deeply despicable and nauseatingly hypocritical speech the lying President of Iran delivered at the UN last night.
It was so breathtakingly duplicitous, that I could barely listen to the translation and 45 minutes into it had to turn it off. I would have sooner looked at a piece of vile pornography than continue to listen to him.
Only in a world that values nothing would there not be instantaneous outrage at the lies, deceptions and self-serving tripe offered for world consumption by a man who clearly has no conscience and enjoys lying and distorting for the fun of it. How could such a man be given the world stage to spew forth his lies, let alone be feted and honored for them? How could most–if not all–of the rest of the world swallow whole the protestations of sincerity and victimhood? How could it be conveniently forgotten what his real intentions and attitudes are even for a moment as he coyly presents himself as a simple man of peace and brotherhood?
One of my favorite sayings is that one should never underestimate the power of human stupidity. The insanely misguided people who believe George Bush and Dick Cheney are more dangerous than Ahmadinejad prove that point exactly. (Boy, I can't wait to see the comments that particular bit of troll bait brings). Egypt is already signaling that they are going to enter into an arms race in the Middle East. The situation will continue to spiral out of control while the stupid applaud messianic madmen for "standing up to the US". By the time the scales fall from their eyes we will all be in trouble.
I don’t think anyone ever claimed he was the sharpest knife in the drawer. But poor education and dreadful ignorance really isn’t an excuse for being an offensive liar.
