发帖数: 29846 | 1 Mark Steyn is unmasking the idiot memes we're told are important by Obama's
supporters:
AxelrodA couple of days ago, Obama campaign top dog David Axelrod threw
in the towel on the dog war. "I thought it was a little absurd to talk about
what the President had done as a 10-year-old boy," he sniffed to MSNBC's
Andrea Mitchell, which is as near as the suddenly sheepish attack dog will
ever get to conceding that Barack Obama is the first dog-eating president in
the history of the Republic. For those coming late to the feud, the
Democrats started it, assiduously promoting accounts of a 1983 Romney
vacation to Canada in which the family pooch Seamus rode on the roof of the
car. Axelrod and the boys thought they could have some sport with this, and
their poodles in the media eagerly played along. The New York columnist Gail
Collins alone has referred to it dozens of times.
And then Jim Treacher, the sharp-eyed wag of The Daily Caller, uncovered
this passage from Chapter Two of Obama's bestselling but apparently largely
unread memoir "Dreams From My Father," in which the author recalls
childhood meals with his stepfather, Lolo Soetoro:
"I was introduced to dog meat (tough), snake meat (tougher), and roasted
grasshopper (crunchy). Like many Indonesians, Lolo followed a brand of
Islam that could make room for the remnants of more ancient animist and
Hindu faiths. He explained that a man took on the powers of whatever he ate:
One day soon, he promised, he would bring home a piece of tiger meat for us
to share."
There followed an Internet storm of "I Ate A Dog (And I Liked It)" gags.
Axelrod, an early tweeter of Romney doggie digs, has now figured out that
the subject is no longer profitable for his boss. The dogs he let slip aren'
t quite that savvy. Jeremy Funk, communications director of "Americans
United For Change," is still bulk-emailing links to the dogsagainstromney.
com video "Should We Have A President Who Isn't Even Qualified To Adopt A
Pet?" Confronted by the revelation that his preferred candidate only swings
by the Humane Society for the all-you-can-eat buffet, he huffs that this is
"false equivalence." "A 6-year-old with no choice in the matter" is not the
same as a grown man choosing to place his dog on the roof of his vehicle. My
Canadian compatriot Kate McMillan, a dog breeder, advised Mr. Funk to "try
this experiment – sit a normal, American 6-year-old down at a plate and
tell him it's dog meat. Watch what happens."
For their next exploding cigar, the Democrats chose polygamy. Brian
Schweitzer, the Democrat governor of Montana, remarked that Romney was
unlikely to appeal to women because his father was "born on a polygamy
commune." Eighty-six percent of women, noted Gov. Schweitzer with a keenly
forensic demographic eye, are "not great fans of polygamy." You can
understand the 86 percent's ickiness at the whole freaky-weirdy idea of a
president descended from someone who had multiple wives. Eww.
Just for the record, Romney's father was not a polygamist; Romney's
grandfather was not a polygamist; his great-grandfather was a polygamist.
Miles Park Romney died in 1904, so one can see why this would weigh heavy on
86 percent of female voters 108 years later.
Meanwhile, back in the female-friendly party, Obama's father was a
polygamist; his grandfather was a polygamist; and his great-grandfather was
a polygamist who had one more wife (five in total) than Romney's great-
grandfather. It seems President Obama is the first male in his line not to
be a polygamist. So, given the "gender gap," maybe those 86 percent of
American women are way cooler with polygamy than Gov. Schweitzer thinks.
Maybe these liberal chicks really dig it.
Steyn goes on... making points as only he can.
While all this is the talk of the talking heads, serious things are going on
in the world that are being ignored by our beloved and oh so cool President
and his oh so wiser than Republican advisers.
As an example, here are Assad's thugs in Syria burying a member of the
opposition alive:
