I didn’t hear a peep about this either: in New York City a little over a month ago a big, brave He-Man Obama fanatic beat a woman over the head with the wooden stick from her own sign because she dared — dared I tell you — to protest Our Sacred Leader, Barack Obama. You know, I have been hearing about the danger of crazed, Christianist, rightwing Rethuglikkkans to our country ever since the fucking end of the fucking Vietnam War but for some reason the people perpetuating actual physical violence nine times out of ten have turned out to be people of leftist political persuasions. I’m not going to insert the usual disclaimer about Not All Left-Leaning Liberals Are Drooling Violent Asstards because duh, but if you ask me most of the civilized leftists have by this time seen the light and moved rightward. Like me. And the rest of them are, I swear, DINOs. Anyway, Our Betters In the Media have been too busy chasing voices in their heads (the fake “kill him!” guy that no one can find or actually remembers hearing), guys carrying stuffed monkeys, and Joe the Plumber’s personal business to bother with this sort of thing. Besides, it’s not like any real people were hurt, only a McCain supporter.

I think people have a misapprehension about what it is that makes someone a thug. There are the “hands-on” thugs who actually engage in thuggish behavior, but there are also the “hands-off” thugs who are perfectly happy having the “hands-on” types do their dirty work for them.
I’ve been getting the feeling for quite some time that O! is the “hands-off” type, but still a thug.

The same goes for Obama’s associations, which we are told don’t matter. Ayers and Dohrn are now a “hands-off” thugs. They no longer set off bombs, cheer for murderers (at least publicly) and holler for people to kill their parents. They use their wealth and work within the system to indoctrinate others to do their dirty work. Obama has learned well from them.
