Backstage on the set of Idiocracy…..
Not long ago a friend of mine used a phrase I hadn’t heard before – “The Angry Left”, and at the time I thought that was a very odd thing to say, given that almost all the shrill spit-flying anger I’ve EVER heard in Politics was from people on the right, and I’ve really never heard serious anger from anyone I know on the left…..in fact, I’M the one who is usually the angry one on the left, and I don’t really get that angry at people about this stuff, (mainly because I figure if they don’t get what’s going on, they must be challenged somehow, and I don’t like to make fun), so where is this angry left? (I now know that it’s a phrase the right has floated out there to give their base another canard-bomb to throw when someone starts using facts truth and other pesky stuff that needs to be obscured in a tidal wave of biley glue that you can’t get off your body without a shower, a bottle of toilet cleaner, and a belt sander.)
So where is the “Angry Left”….? Well, I guess it’s NOT in Strongsville, Ohio.
This is a place that National Geographic needs to go out and do some of their genetic mapping at, because I think we’ve found the “Missing Link“, or the extras from the movie “Idiocracy” at least.
Now I’ll grant you that the videographers in these clips must have known what they were gonna get when they started filming here, but if there is a Mother-Lode of dumbass knee-jerk redneck Stoopid-Is-As-Stoopid-Does Gumpaliciousness, this is the spot. Full of people who are just plain angry at……ummm…….well, I’m not quite sure what, but they’re REALLY ANGRY at any rate, and filled with inarticulate half or non truths that they’ve gleaned word for word from Limbaugh/O’Reilly/et al, these folks give new meaning to the phrase “Dumber than a Bag of Hair”.
Unless you’ve been living in your closet for the last week you’re probably already seen some of this, but since that’s possible, here’s some looks at what I’m talking about….
Ok, call me an elitist………..great, thanx. Now, if you were on Obama’s Secret Service detail, you’d be looking around a little harder in that part of the country wouldn’t you? Makes me a little scared for the guy, because THIS kind of thing gets a little past politics and gets into some, shall we say, “darker” parts of the human psyche. I mean seriously, do YOU know anyone who’s this angry on the left, (besides me of course) who doesn’t also chain themselves to trees?
Anyways, I’d love to see ANY evidence of this kind of nuttiness on the left, and be assured that I will put any vids that show lefty weirdness up, because it’s either real and I can say “Well, I was wrong” or it’ll be obvious BS and I can make fun of you in public….so send it in!

How true. In all honesty I have seen some fanaticism from the left, but only in a small sect of what we Alaskans call ‘fuzzy-pitted Leaf Lickers’. Those willing to hand-cuff themselves to a spruce tree in a feeble attempt at some civil disobedience. Then when finished with their simple protest will depart the area leaving behind their plastic bottles, Tofu wrappers, paper products and human waste.
These videos you’ve posted do have a certain ring to them, much like the banjo tune from the movie Deliverance starring Burt Reynolds. Now I have nothing against the Monster Truck & Pro Wrastlin’ crowd but, Damn! Whats the next step, wait for sundown, drag out the sheets and have good ol’ home town cross burning? I’m not talking Toga Party either… AMAZING! Amazing that any politician would pander to, or align themselves with, the lowest common denominator of Americana.
Fanaticism from either end of the spectrum is dangerous
I say we best stock up on rice and beans. Now matter how this election goes we’re all in deep trouble. BOHICA
And here’s a little more “angriness”…..I hope SOMEONE can find some kinda “angry” leftness for me to talk about…

But how about them McPalin people eh? Not only angry, but kinda violent and yet somehow cowardly as well……..guess they think that’s the “American Way”, but I wonder what America they’re talking about….it’s definitely not mine…..I have a problem with someone, they’re gonna hear it from me, not have to guess who slashed their tires….
And how about these guys, who left a dead bear at a university with Obama signs all over it, were they angry you think? Any commensurate lefty anger for that one?

I don’t know if these could/qualify as the Angry Right, but definately mad as a hatter! http://www.9news.com/news/local/article.aspx?storyid=102257
Todays Headline – TED STEVENS FATE TO BE DECIDED BY A JURY OF HIS PEERS- Where does one go to find 12 giant assholes? I mean, OTHER than an NoBama or McLaim rally.
Ted Stevens peers…..hmm….I’m guessing to be FAIR they would need to get a bunch of convicted or indicted Senators and Congressmen, that sounds about right…definitely giant assholes for sure….or maybe the White House could provide a few….
As for the link, there’s no video there, tho they mention police camera video, which I would like to see…..assuming it is what they say it is, (Colorado is notoriously anti-left, so I’m not taking it on faith) then that would qualify as crazy assholiness from lefties, maybe not of the same level and hate as the things I mentioned, but I still take your point….I guess we’ll need to know more…..
I’d love to open by saying Un-freakin-Believable…. but I can’t!
A McCain campaign volunteer made up a story of being robbed, pinned to the ground and having the letter “B” scratched on her face in a politically inspired attack, police said Friday.
Ashley Todd, 20-year-old college student from College Station, Texas, admitted Friday that the story was false and was being charged with making a false report to police, said Maurita Bryant, the assistant chief of the police department’s investigations division.
Yeh, I love how she got it wrong and put it on her face backwards because it looked right in the MIRROR, AWESOME STOOPIDITY!!
Nice….
