Straight from the horses mouth ass (Fox News) :
In the background, images of the Twin Towers falling, clouds of dust, screaming New Yorkers, police and fire personnel
VOICE : President Obama wants to turn September 11th into a National Day of Service…
The words “National Day of Service” appear on screen, next to Obama’s head and over the cloud of Tower dust
VOICE: Is this the best way to *remember* the 3000 Americans who died that day?
I will never stop being angry about lies. Have different opinions about how tax dollars should be spent? Fine, I’ll listen if you have a rational opinion (note:”TAXES BAD! RED STATES SMASH TAXES!” isn’t one). But the fact is that the text the President used, the actual wording is “National Day of Service and Remembrance”.
Now, listen carefully : Dropping words in order to strengthen your argument is DISHONEST. You’re LYING. You’ve changed the meaning of a statement and then attributed it to the original source. That’s called LYING. If the world worked like it fucking should, it’d also be called slander and these fucking morons doing it publicly would be in court.
While we’re on the topic, let’s assume for a moment that that “and Remembrance” means absolutely nothing like these mendacious assholes would have you believe. How the eff is that antithetical to remembering those who died on 9/11? How is serving your country a disservice to them? What kind of fucking prick can stand up with a straight face and argue against doing anything productive in honor of these dead fellows. What should we do instead… wait, let me guess : SIT IN OUR HOUSES AND WATCH THE TOWERS FALL ON REPEAT AND BE SCARED OF THE DARK MEN WITH TURBANS WHO HATE US!
Did I get it right? Thought so. Well, you know what, fuck you. That’s fucking despicable. The Right has nothing left but fearmongering and lies. And unfortunately, because our media and our citizens don’t give a flying fuck about honesty and rational thought, that’s plenty enough to win elections and destroy any hope of putting this country on the right track again.
Fear, “God”, intellectual laziness and outright, damnable lies. Well, ye shall reap what ye sow. I can only hope I’ve moved to a country that’s less batshit fucking insane by then. I have serious trouble believing this one is ever gonna pull it’s head out of it’s ass.
