Introducing dumb and dumber who appear to have a collective IQ of about zero point nine-one-one. Dumb is Melanie Morgan a radio host, dumber is Tucker Carlson, a host of CNN's Crossfire. To see why just read the transcript from the June 16th Crossfire which debated with Morgan and Arianna Huffington about the efforts of the group "Move America Forward" to stop movie theaters from showing Michael Moore's new movie Fahrenheit 911.
Now I agree that anyone has the right to protest against Moore's movie, but really that's not the issue here. The issue was, why is Morgan trying to protest against a movie she hasn't even seen? But all she can come up with is "support our troops". Like most people who'll blindly spout that one off she's completely unable to dissociate supporting troops who are willing to die to save her ass, from supporting the bad apples in charge who are telling the troops where to go fire their guns.
The dumb "support our troops" uber alles argument would still have us in Vietnam slaughtering the remainder of Vietnamese. How many people can honestly look back at Vietnam say "Yes, that was well worth 50,000 plus dead Americans and killing 3 million Vietnamese over?". I mean back then they didn't even have weapons of mass destruction to worry about, and the only ones were in the hands of the Americans and Russians. More to the point the only nation to really do real mass destruction thus far against civilians was you guessed it, America in Japan*
Oops, sorry, got off at a tangent, anyway, even more to the point is can anyone believe what an ignorant a**hole this Tucker Carlson guy is? Just follow his line of questioning and try not to feel like you want to punch his lights out for being so thick headed. And this is the guy debating the validity of Moore's comments about the goal of America being to keep its people stupid? With people like him and Morgan controlling and dictating what's on view is there any doubt we'll all end up stupid and unable to answer a single direct question?
*And in a combined effort with the Allied forces by fire-bombing civilian populations in Germany during WWII
