LOL Moment of the Week: Robert Gibbs wonders how Bush would have handled being compared to Hitler
ByCome on, is he really that out of touch? Robert Gibbs is either a complete idiot or so intellectually dishonest that the entire press corps should walk out in protest. (Ha! Ha! I know – it’s just a fantasy!)
Okay, let’s imagine. In case you’ve forgotten, Mary Katherine Hamm’s already done the work for us. I’m sure it didn’t take terribly long.
Let’s see if we can imagine that, Bob. Click here, and just keep scrolling.
Or, here. You will be scrolling for a solid five minutes to exhaust the Hitler images employed by the left for eight solid years against Bush, and that’s in just two blog posts. They were ubiquitous; far more prevalent that Nazi imagery in the Tea Party movement. Saying what Gibbs said, or repeating it credulously, requires an incredible amount of dishonesty.
Hmm, let’s try a search on Flickr, just so we’re sure I’m not cherry-picking.
Looking for something more recent? How about Alan Grayson’s health-care Holocaust in America crusade, by which Gibbs was markedly less “stunned” despite the fact that Grayson’s an elected official making Holocaust comparisons on the floor of the House. Imagine.
Before Gibbs took leave of his senses and all sense of history today, the White House had a more petulant response to the gathering, at which actor Jon Voight spoke. Yesterday, Gibbs very kindly stopped himself from making a “Deliverance” joke about the attendees. Considerate.
I would argue that the White House Press Secretary implying a joke about how protesters are rednecks prone to anal rape would fall into the category of “stunning” and “personally disagreeable,” but I digress.
I guess this is what they meant by “audacity.”
John Boehner wasn’t off base when he said the health care bill is a threat to freedom. It is, plain and simple. Which is why Gibbsy had to resort to whining about a few signs at a protest.
If you don’t feel like following all of MKH’s links, here’s a moveon video to refresh your memory. (H/T Gateway Pundit)
