Disgusting Displays of Idiocy

LOYAL RIGHT WING TRIPS OVER ITS OWN MORALITY TO JUSTIFY TORTURE

But the supreme leader of the right-wing masses, Rush Limbaugh, actually celebrated the torture. He called it a "brilliant maneuver," and also used the hazing comparison. He defended the soldiers photographed in acts of torture as just "having a good time" and "blowing off some steam." Rush told his dittoheads that the reaction to the brutality is "an example of the feminization of the country."

This is the most powerful and influential conservative voice in the nation. His followers hang on his every word like sacred writ.

What, pray tell, will happen when talking heads spew such bile?

I got an e-mail from reader Teri Robertson, who was upset over the column I wrote last week about the prison abuse -- "your trash," as she called it. She then offered a novel thought, which I'll share. "Fortunately for the Iraqis they were tortured by Americans rather than by other countries known for their disregard for humanity," she wrote.

That's what happens. Moron Americans open their mouths and remove all doubt about just how stupid, arrogant, and selfish we, as a nation, have become. Thanks, Rush, for giving the idiots a model after which to pattern themselves.
