WELL THEN. (shudder) THAT was a vile thing to listen to! woo. I feel defiled, like I need a shower after that ugly screed. They were all so amused. It was sick, sick.
The fact Obama was chucking and laughing through it all was even more telling. That much of the audience at this "high class" event was laughing right alongside him was obscene. A decent man would have stood up and walked out after the first line. Of course, Dear Leader's monologue was almost as nasty and humorless and set the same tone.
Something sinister is now out in the open in America and it is not funny. It is beyond creepy and tasteless. It has the scent of genuine malice and accelerating totalitarianism which can only end in disaster for America.
I could easily envision a similar dinner with Stalin at the head table laughing and sneering and making "jokes" about his soon to be permanently and brutally liquidated enemies.
There was an underlying thuggery and brutish cast to this affair which should not be afoot in America. This was not humor. It was intimidation and degradation of enemies on a very personal level in a very public venue.
I think this display of high level personal reviling and spite is unprecedented in this country, at this level. It was certainly way out of line for an event like this.
