(Think Progress) Dumbass Apparently, the idea of destroying Chicago with a nuclear bomb is humorous to Michael Bolton and the guests at the Conservative Political Action Conference. It's like a skit from "1/2 Hour News Hour"   (thinkprogress.org) divider line 278

I'd love to see him declared a terrorist and sent to gitmo over this.
Sweet, sweet irony.

He didn't say that subtard. He was making fun of Obama dismissing Iran as a minor threat and pointed out that the idea of them getting even one nuke to an American city wasn't a minor threat. I supported Obama but I agree.

If he had said, "Let's say, Crawford, Texas", you know you would have laughed.

Your reasoning is a little wonky. You can't just describe a disaster and call it a "major" threat because if it happened it'd be bad. Watch: imagine if an asteroid the size of Rhode Island caused a mile-high tsunami to destroy all coastal cities along the Pacific coast. Would you call THAT a minor threat?

 
HowlingFrog [TotalFark] 2009-02-27 09:08:15 AM  
I bet John Bolton approves.

Sure you can. It's called "fear-mongering".

Bolton is the PNAC slug who also said that it was a shame that the 9/11 planes took out the wrong building (referring to the UN).

One of the MAIN speakers at CPAC IS Cliff Kincaid - the founder of AIM, a media watchdog group that thinks Fox News is too liberal.

Yeah you read that right.

Another one of Bush's sterling appointments. He sends Ed Anger to be the UN Ambassador.

The headline is accurate in that John Bolton, like Michael Bolton, is a no-talent ass clown.

The only difference is that John Bolton is evil. Michael Bolton is just a douche.

So you think Iran is currently as large a threat to us as the Soviet Union during the Cold War?

You need remedial education.

You fail because the video remind us how a President can negotiate from strength.

You also fail because you mis-characterize the video. Obama did not dismiss Iran. He said we would deal with them.

Something stupid coming out of CPAC isn't news. Something reasoned, moderate, intelligent and non-hysterical would be news.

Learn to take a joke. Those on the left participate this level (or worse) of dark humor as well. OH NO, did I say dark, oh I meant humor of color... Oh, no! I meant "potentially-offensive" humor.

GTFO, GAJ, STFU

An asteroid that size would end life on earth, not just take out some coastal cities.

Bolton and that crew of neocon thugs are not conservatives. I like it how he's still playing the Iran fear card. Piece of shiat.

Update: The Wonk Room's Matt Duss, who attended CPAC today, notes that Bolton also fearmongered on Obama's dedication to Israel. He told an audience member that he "very much fear[s] it's right" that Obama would not aid Israel were it attacked.

Hey, now we know where Joe the Plumber is hanging out these days.

You are correct. In fact, that notion is even more asinine than what subby implied.

Comedians. Obama's slightly off limits due to excessive blackness, so they have to pick on his home city/state instead. They might have to go looking for new material were it wiped out, and most of 'em ate that kind of thing with a passion.

//Maybe bad-mouthing the Enclave and President Eaton?

The Repugnican Party is a train wreck currently in progress. Their main problem with trying to be funny is that humor needs a basis in facts to actually be funny. This is why their own version of The Daily Show never got off the ground, and why conservative political cartoons usually fail, sometimes spectacularly.

Swap Detroit in there and I'd call it a viable strategy, rather than a joke.

This kind of talk is no different than back when Al Gore said that conservatives were "lacking a chromosone". Same kind of talk, other side of the aisle.

Lighten up nancies.

That's the problem. The only lesson we've taught them so far is that we don't have to talk to them so long as they only remain a small threat. We had to talk to the Soviets. That's a pretty stupid message to send to them, and I hope Obama gets cracking on it.

That's way off base. Conservatives have a chromosomal surfeit.

The way it was described in print had me seething. Like the guy was proposing we nuke Chicago and had a crowd of jackals cheering and foaming at the mouth for it. Then I watched the video. I didn't sense any malice in his words, he was making a point. I think he did it effectively.

Sometimes I honestly think that Cox & Forkum cartoons are drawn by the same guy who does the fake political cartoons for The Onion.
