How Hatred Makes Some People into Shameless Hypocrites
Gerry's post is, quite simply, pure hypocrisy. He compares two people, George W. Bush and Mikey Dukakis, both of whom had designs on the Presidency at the time they wore military uniforms of some sort.
One of these men is a literal military Commander, by far and quite obviously having more right and greater need to wear the uniform than the other guy-- who just happens to be a twit, and whose twittery was made readily apparent to ALMOST everyone the minute he showed up smiling in a tank like some cartoon groundhog emerging from a long winter's nap.
Despite the clarity of the circumstance, Gerry cannot help but grumble against and criticize the true Commander, to instead actually extol the relative sincerity of the guy who, since he was Commander of Nothing, had no need and no right to wear any uniform at all. Had Gerry any sort of principles here, he would have excoriated both Bush and Dukakis for 'attempting to blur the line between the military and its leadership of civilians.' But noooooooo. Dukakis gets the relative praise and Bush is assaulted.
Why did Gerry do such a thing? It is quite obvious that poor Gerry has been made blind by hatred. Gone to the Dark Side, Gerry has; and now all that is left for him is flaming hypocrisy. Pathetic... |
