May Not Be a Genius But Sheer Stupidity?

RECEIVED Sat., June 21, 2008

Dear Editor,
    When you think about it, sheer stupidity goes a long way toward explaining the Barack Obama phenomenon. Consider:
    We know the Obamites are too stupid to vet their candidate. It only takes ten minutes of Googling to find out Obama is a complete fraud.
    We know the Obamites thought calling their fellow Democrats racists was a brilliant political move.
    We know Obamites think Obama's poorly delivered, derivative speeches are brilliant.
    We know Obama fans think Huffington Post and Daily Kos are good blogs.
    We know Obama fans think Michelle Obama is another Jackie Kennedy.
    We know Obamoids think the Rev. Wright fiasco was no big deal.
    We know Obamatrons think misogyny is cool and hilariously funny.
    We know the Obamanators thought that alienating their party's base was a winning strategy.
    We know Obamabats think Keith Olbermann is Edward R. Murrow (and not just a long-winded woman-hater).
    We know an Obama fan can't write a decent song to save his/her life.
    We know Obamites think moving the Democratic Party to Chicago is a grand idea.
    We know the Obama kids thought Obama was being straight with them when he talked about public financing and FISA.
    I'll bet each of you can add more examples of Obamite stupidity, and you are invited to do so.
    The conclusion is clear. We are witnessing a vast and growing IQ schism in the Democratic Party. In other words, the party is being taken over by a bunch of dummies. It's the only explanation.
    We anti-Obama people may not be geniuses. But how dense do you have to be not to see through Obama?
