filkertomFaux Noise drone Steve Doocy apparently thinks the binder clip that President Obama used on his copy of the new jobs bill was somehow worthy of derisive laughter and a zinger about Kinko's. Or somethin'.
We are now well past the Fucking Stupid Bullshit phase of Obama Derangement Syndrome and well into the WUT I DON'T EVEN phase.
They don't care. They just don't care. They're willing to look, act, and sound like second-grade bully wannabes, willing to go after literally any little thing in their attempts to belittle the Not-Right-Winger-With-The-Wrong-Amount-Of-Melanin.
They themselves should be mocked and brought to the light constantly, until they are finally and utterly discredited in the public eye.
Because they literally have nothing of any importance to bring to the conversation.
Binder clip. Jayzus.

Date: 2011-09-14 11:56 am (UTC)ETA: And, of course, using binder clips for anything (even holding papers together :-) is a very geeky thing to do. How horrible is must be, to a True Believer, to be a geek (except for the glibertarian sort described here)?

Date: 2011-09-14 12:54 pm (UTC)You go to a baseball game and some drunks in the bleachers start "the wave". Everyone joins in, not because it means anything but as a way of expressing mindless solidarity with the crowd. Or someone says, "How about those Jays (Tigers?), huh?" It's not analysis or even opinion; it's code for establishing that we're us rather than them.
Another thing it reminds me of is the handful of "Family Feud" episodes I watched all those years ago. Typically, at some point someone would give a totally illogical response and, after a momentary pause, everyone on that side would be shouting, "Good answer!" ...for no reason except it was their side.
(I kept hoping one of the others would say, "You do know you were adopted, right?")
Paperclips, too good for Faux News.

Date: 2011-09-14 04:07 pm (UTC)I mean, I know logically that they'd have found a way to snicker at anything he'd done to hold paper together. If it were a three-ring binder, it'd have been, "Oh, look, Obama's done America's book report," and if it were spiral-bound, it'd have been "Just like his college-ruled English notes," and if it were flat glue-bound, it'd have somehow been some other sort of travesty, like "so many pages of useless bureaucracy he had to spend taxpayer money just to hold it together...c'mon, man, isn't there a binder clip big enough?"

Date: 2011-09-14 04:58 pm (UTC)Obama's using a cheap binder clip. He's too tightfisted with his OWN money for anything fancier, but he has no problem spending more of YOUR money in this bill!

Not absolutely universally true, but IME scarily close to it. Especially when you look at the loudest modern proponents.

Date: 2011-09-14 09:36 pm (UTC)The minute anyone on the left criticized him or made fun of him Fox News and other pundits were there to defend him and cry foul. For all the talk about the media being in the tank for Obama there's no concerted effort by the media to defend him. If there were, or if he were inclined to fight back on his own I think he'd be getting a lot more done.
