It actually was a pretty decent debate. Kilgore tries to avoid saying that the A-merican people are so stupid and fucked up, and understanding and pious, that they will consistently elect people who they know will screw them over - as long as they are not Republicans. In name. For the purpose of perpetuating unpopular policies - the Bush- administration's suspension of habeus corpus, the fourth amendment, indefinite war - under the "guise" of new and legitimate ownership. That is, the same policies (with small changes the little people would approve of, like talking about gas- prices and the price of margarine in a speech), but with a democratic leadership.
While Greenwald tries to avoid calling Kilgore and the rest of the brownshirts unintelligent but consciously committed fascists - who know they are legitimised and welcome in the american "public debate" as long as they drop intelligent sounding words into a litany about po- li- tics and shiit, motherfucker. Oppobrium, dammit, who yo talking to, braniac, haha!
Also, don't forget to read the comments - not too bad, but they closed the comments after my last post. So I couldn't see all the pissed off democrats who would berate me for suggesting it should be possible for /people/ to affect the policies their government conducts, instead of having wise men govern without interference.
And no, I'm not exaggerating. And it's not funny. Next - Obama X saves the nation from bad self- esteem by standing up to Chinese money- lenders while proclaiming they are an ally of Israel and on the side of God (according to well- placed democratic strategists who swears that's what their lord and master would've, on reflection, have liked it to come out).
Even more well- placed strategists say God approves, but was granted anonymity because of the sensitivity of the matter with the allmighty.
DINOs. Vichy Democrats. Bush Dogs.
Anyone who listens to the regular talk among progressive activists on- and offline is familiar with such terms of opprobrium for Democratic politicians, particularly in Congress, who are alleged to be ideologically unreliable, insufficiently partisan, too cozy with corporations, or subversive of efforts to fight the Bush administration.
