Gettysburg Address 'outrage' provides handy checklist of stupidest people in America & The Hatriots' Revolution Has Begun (They claim to have the authority to shoot Obama) 19NOV13

Hate is too great a burden to bear. It injures the hater more than it injures the hated.
- Coretta Scott King

CONTINUING to prove they are stupid, as are the people who revel in their own ignorance and believe this B.S., here is the latest outrage inflicted on the nation by the Obama administration. Bang on faux news and all you other morons, and be sure to forward this scandal all you right wing zombies. From Daily Kos, followed by the christian american patriots facebook page post from 19NOV13, on which they state "We now have the authority to shoot Obama, i.e. to kill him.".....

You're kidding, right?

The anniversary of the Gettysburg Address does not seem at first glance to be a subject steeped in controversy, but that is because you are not a dull-minded hack whose quest for new controversies must never fall below the speed of 50 miles per hour, lest the whole movement die.

Obama Snubs 150th Anniversary of Gettysburg Address

I'm going to spare you the actual article under that headline. I first saw the premise being propped up yesterday as a prospective "scandal" when it slithered past in a Twitter stream via the apparently-still-around Breitbart conspiracy site. I did not think much of it, because I am not a shit-for-brains, but apparently I misunderestimated just how obsessively Actual Conservative Pundits troll the conspiracy sites for fodder. Fox & Friends took it up this morning, and if that isn't ironclad proof that the story passes nicely under the you-must-be-this-stupid-to-enter bar than nothing is.

Fox News's Brian Kilmeade discussed with Wall Street Journal columnist Daniel Henninger whether it is "inappropriate for our president to bypass" the commemoration ceremony of the 150th anniversary of the Gettysburg Address during the November 19 edition of Fox & Friends. At one point Kilmeade asked whether Henninger thought Obama was refusing to attend because "after that address and after the Civil War we still weren't a perfect union? We still had to wait for the Civil Rights Act and so many -- the integration of schools, Brown vs. the Board of Education?" Henninger replied, "I think probably that President Obama does think the unfinished business remains unfinished in bringing the country and its races together."

More on the "outrage" below the fold.

In "response" to tweeted questions by the two outlets peddling the story, resident White House moron wrangler Dan Pfeiffer cheekily suggested that the White House had other priorities. He once again neglected to recognize that morons do not understand sarcasm:

In response to a journalist's Twitter query about what could be more important, Pfeiffer wrote: "Oh, I don't know, there's this whole website thing that someone suggested might destroy the [Democratic] Party."

... which naturally led to actual goddamn stories suggesting that Obama did not go to Gettysburg because of Obamacarez. I suppose the main question here is which of these various shameless dunderhacks was the one who first came up with this as a plausible attack line—I am loathe to pin that on the Breitbart crowd when it could have been tossed over their transom by an even more eager shit-for-brains, or perhaps there is a collection of fabled shit-for-brains pundits that gets together each evening to determine who among them has the most foam-laden idea for an attack piece and they all clap their little hands together and run with it. That would mean all the others saw it floating around and said I believe I shall run with this, which makes them even more goddamn stupid and hackish than the original stupid hacks.
Now here is the key point, dear reader, and the reason why shit for brains ought not to be considered a crass insult at this point but merely a reasonable medical diagnosis. In all of American post-Lincoln history, only one sitting president has ever gone to Gettysburg on the anniversary of the address. Reagan did not go. The Bushii did not go. JFK did not go. Roosevelt never went, nor Nixon, nor President Biff the Unholy, Destroyer of Worlds. That honor apparently goes to Taft, and it has been a long damn time since anyone in the national press furrowed their brows and pondered what William Howard Taft would do in a given situation.
So no, we do not have to take any of this seriously. Nor do we have to take the purveyors of such obviously stupid faux-scandals seriously. Nor do we have to treat them with respect, or pretend for a bare minute that they have anything worthwhile to say about our political discourse that could not be better said by contemplating the contents of a litter box. The problem here is that there is no shame to be had in peddling conspiratorial trash in public. In better days people would cross to the other side of the street so that they would not have to listen to the nice man on the large box preaching about how President Obama is probably not attending the event only one other president in history (well, two, counting Lincoln himself) attended, and how that probably means the current president resents the tardiness of Brown v. Board of Education, and when a newspaper man walks up to that fellow with a notebook in hand, nodding and scribbling things down, that does not make it suddenly respectable. It only means there are two nuts standing on a street corner instead of one.
Cross to the other side, America. For the sake of pride and patriotism, will you just shun these damn people already?

The Hatriots' Revolution Has Begun

Today is the day! Clinton-hater has-been gadfly sociopath birther insurrectionist Larry Klayman and his Reclaim America Now Coalition have begun their Hatriots' Revolution. There are dozens--DOZENS--of people wandering around Lafayette Park in Washington, DC. They mean business. They have snakey flags and Confederate memorabilia. They are quoting the Founding Fathers. They even wrote a new Declaration of Independence.
The speeches thus far are pretty predictable. Barry Soetoro is a Kenyan Muslim usurper out to destroy our once great nation. The gun grabbers are coming. We are all terribly oppressed by ObamaCare. Benghaaaaaaaazi. America is on the brink of something really, really bad. Blah, blah, blah.
This isn't the event Klayman was hoping for. He wanted millions of people who would camp out in DC until President Obama resigned. (If he had an idea of the mechanism that would impel the President's resignation, he never shared it publicly.) But, even as he was promoting a massive, multi-day event, he knew he wasn't going to get millions and they weren't going to be staying overnight. According to the permit issued by the National Park Service, he expected 500 attendees, the demonstration would last from 10 am to 5 pm, and there would be no civil disobedience.

Despite their awesome show of force, I will make a bold and risky prediction: This event will not cause President Obama to resign from office. There. I said it. You can quote me. This is what I fervently believe. Edited to add: As several commenters have noted, this event took place in a national park. While these hypocrites were whining about the evils of socialism, they were lapping up the benefits of it, spewing their seditious blather on prime real estate within shouting distance of the White House.

The Christian American Patriots Militia

JMG reader Steven sends us the above from the Facebook page of Christian American Patriots Militia. Note the hundreds of shares and the date of November 19th, which was the day of Larry Klayman's call for the beginning of "the second American revolution." From their Facebook page:

These rogues and thugs are in fact supplanting our Constitution with a communist Oligarchy of corrupt political and legal elites. Christian American patriots, this is no time to be silent nor to sit. (Romans 1:16) We must NOW RISE and FIGHT VIGOROUSLY to protect our nation and our posterity. Your children, grandchildren and great grandchildren depend on you. We need no further evidence that those we trusted are not honoring their oaths: Their oaths are not sacred to them---abusing us and disobeying God. Therefore, it is time that we remove them from their duties. It is time to act; and we pray that God give us guidance as we do.
