Panic Attack

Just saw quick clip on Crooks & Liars that made my head want to explode. Sean Hannity was going off about how the Democratic Party is ignoring that the islamofacists want to kill us. When the guest made a couple of comments about the real world, Hannity started jabbering about weak and helpless and how they didn’t get it that they were coming. I swear to god I thought he was going to hide under the desk. Had I been there I would have said something like “Sean Sean, breathe man, slowly, first in through the nose and hold it for ten seconds and let it out slowly. You’re having a panic attack.”

A mean person would have let him run on; I swear to god he was going to start crying.

I don’t know why right wingers think they are so tough when the fact that there are bad people out there and they want to kill Americans makes them wet their damn shorts. I ever go on Sean Hannity I am going to bring along a baby’s blinky and a blue blanket for him, Jesus what a putz. Yes there are elements in Muslim work that are against us, that are willing to kill for political purposes but this is not fucking world war iv ™ this is not some epic clash. Our future as a nation is not, I repeat, and repeat again, not at stake, unless we, in our panic give away our birthright. As FDR said we have nothing to fear but fear itself. Hannity was almost calling for his mommy.

And there was some blonde bimbo on with him, cause I guess he didn’t want to have to handle combes by himself anymore, who piped up with weird non-sequator comments like Bush beat Lieberman and now he’s lost again and Cindy Sheehan’s hanging out with anti-Semites. (Personally I’m sick to death of people who suggest that Israel is reacting with counter productive violence against targets that have little if anything to do with Hezbollah an anti-Semite. Mel Gibson is an example of an anti-Semite – side note within a side note. Being drunk does not give you opinions on things you never though about before, being drunk puts to sleep that part your brain that says “I don’t think that would be the best thing to say, or do” the superego as it where. Which is why, when I’m drunk I talk about how jealous I am of guys who have hot girlfriends while I am entering my third year of unwanted celibacy. I do not however blame that upon the Jews). To which had I been colmes and colmes not been the nurtured poodle that he is I would as suggested that either she should quit sniffing glue or maybe she needs to put down the crack pipe. But she is a stepford person and she wouldn’t get it. She’s paid to be an idiot, like colmes is paid to be an idiot.

The whole term islamo-facist doesn’t even make any fucking sense – it implies some sort of massive movement lead by someone. They won’t say since the obvious boogeyman, Osama Ben Laden isn’t someone they like to bring up since he is either still on the loose or has died peacefully in bed (my guess alas) so the leader of the shadowy movement isn’t named. But what it is, other than it hates us my precious, isn’t very well defined. I’m not expert on the middle east or Muslim politics but lumping the Iran, Sunni Al Qaeda, Palestinian Hammas, the Shiite Hezbollah, along with what’s left of the secular Ba’ah Party doesn’t make any bloody sense – they are all out for different things, they all don’t care much for America, nor have they reason to. But this is not one group, nor are any of them worshipers of the state as fascists were prone to be. And they have expressed little or no interest in invading these shores (which is, of all the absurd fantastic, the brown people are coming to get us fantasies the most absurd)

This whole threat inflation is more about retaining domestic power than worrying about terrorists who want to strangle us in our beds. The thing scares hannity the most is not Arabs slipping over the wall and slitting his throat but a democratic party controled congress that would investigate things like the sweetheart no bid army contracts and the like and end up putting in jail people who have been treating tax payer money like a private feed bag, that scares them, and since he is owned by them, it scares the bejesus out of him.

Good.

Cute Kitten no?
