23 Feb 19 - 12:23 PM (#3978556) Subject: RE: BS: Obama From: keberoxu CIA or no CIA, I recall well what it was like in the part of the northeastern US where I live. My town is an exurb, if you like, that means that it's a rather substantial drive from the town to the megalopolis/behemoth that is greater Boston, and yet there are commuters in my town who drive in that direction, before sunrise, five days a week. So this place is a combination of upwardly mobile singles and families, with their politics and their ambitions, with families who can't really afford to live like that and who are envious and resentful. And I can still hear the voices of the have-not adults. Remember Saddam Hussein? and how Americans, esp. rural/small-town white Americans, used to pronounce the name as "sa-DAMN!". they would say it like an profanity, "Sa-DAMN Hoo-sayn." Years after that, the same men would go around saying -- "OH! BA-ma!" in the same rhythm, the same accent and stress, and making it sound just as profane. Now you may guess, as I have, who in these parts goes around wearing MAGA baseball caps -- not only those grown-ups, but their teenage, and older, children. |

23 Feb 19 - 12:39 PM (#3978559) Subject: RE: BS: Obama From: Backwoodsman Sounds like the standard white-Caucasian Right's campaign of demonisation of those who "Aren't like us", Keb. It's what they do to rouse the rabble. We have the same in the UK - like the current demonisation of a radicalised and abused teenage girl and her baby by people who should know better, but who have no humanity or shame. |

23 Feb 19 - 04:32 PM (#3978600) Subject: RE: BS: Obama From: Bee-dubya-ell I suppose the idea of Obama working for the CIA (unlikely) is meant as a counter to the idea of Trump having been blackmailed into working for Russian intelligence (not so unlikely). Sounds like someone needs to look up a definition for "false equivalency". Working for one's own government's intelligence service is not the same as working for the intelligence service of an adversarial foreign government. |
