I went away last weekend and returned to a world of pus dripping stupidity. On Monday morning, wanting to catch up, I tried to sort out who was bitter, elitist, who betrayed their elitism by decrying elitist allegations of bitterness… and then I went to find a bottle of soda, Pop Rocks, and a trampoline.
Man, none of that shit matters. The atrocity of a debate doesn’t matter. If there is any message you can take from ABC and the debate, it’s twofold:
1)The media sees politics as a bowl of Trix
2)You’re a silly white motherfucking rabbit
Fuck that noise. What matters is that we’ve gone from the era of “I am not a crook!” to “Yeah, I’m a war criminal. What of it?” But no, Charlie Gibson wants to talk about Billy Ayers, presumably because he’s worried that as President, Barak Obama might secretly blow up federal monuments, or otherwise take that shit down from the inside, motherfucker.
Fuck. Fine, Charlie Gibson, you want to talk about Billy Ayers? Maybe we should wonder why the fuck it is that this highly evil, Known Terrorist of Terroristic Proportions is presently walking around, free to profess at the University of Chicago UIC, serve on boards, and yes, to blog when he is such a radical terroristical terrorist.
Well, after a little googling, it turns out "All charges against him were dropped because of prosecutorial misconduct during the long search for the fugitives." Well that’s interesting. What kind of misconduct are we talking about here? Oh right: illegal surveillance. Oh, right: the FBI investigated the Weathermen under the auspices of cointelpro, J. Edgar Hoover’s pet project to disrupt leftist organizations by any means necessary, including straight up murder, for example of Chicago community organizer Fred Hampton, and, though they didn’t get to carry it out, of Martin Luther King, Jr. Fuck fuck fuckity fuck them, the fuckers. And, as a result of such baldly illegal investigative practices, Evil Terrorist Billy Ayers was sentenced to a couple years’ probation and a fine.
The question, then, isn’t why Obama served on some board with Ayers, but why Charlie Gibson and the right wing smear machine are so squarely on the side of utterly corrupt law enforcement. Did Chuckie’s First Mercedes get a window smashed during the days of rage or something? Or is it that he wants everyone who’s anyone to denounce and reject and deject and renounce anyone, like Ayers, who’s unapologetically anti-war and anti-establishment?
It's fine and all to complain about the substance-free nature of the debate the other day, but let's don't lose sight of what's actually at stake: the extent to which our discourse is or isn't about the core of rot at the center of just about every law enforcement agency there is, from the NSA to the CIA, right down to NYPD counterterrorism, who thinks that entrapment is just as good as intelligence gathering. Not to mention the core of rot at the heart of our elected governing bodies. The other night ABC told Democrats to stick it. Well fuck them, but more importantly fuck everyone they're protecting.
Update: Fucking spectacular.
Update II: Whoever compiled the FBI report was such a square, daddy-O. Such intriguing questions are pondered as, "What motivated the Weatherpeople?" and who was teaching "the youthful revolutionary...how to create revolution." (Answer: Cuba)
