When they wrote the song, "Let the Idiot Speak." The man, as this short piece shows is so unbelievably ridiculous that he makes me embarrassed to share a state with him. If you haven't heard, he said that it is relevant to ask if Obama really loves his country, all, you should know, because according to Inhofe, Obama is opposed to wearing a lapel pin. Moron. And inaccurate. But mostly moron.
Speaking of that, Governor Palin slipped in a very cheap shot at Michelle Obama when she noted that she had "always been proud of her country." Yeah, that just means that you aren't paying attention. If you looked at our history of racial injustice and didn't feel a little shame, then you need to seek help. If you looked at the poverty exposed by Katrina and didn't feel ashamed, you need to open your eyes. And if you didn't feel a little shame when Bush admitted that the United States of America now tortures prisoners, then you need to reexamine shame. And pride. And patriotism.
The thing is, I know she didn't write that line. The racist wing of the party did. They are constantly trying to portray the Obamas as other worldly and non-American. I would tell them to be ashamed, but the shame emotion was long eradicated from the right wing of the party.
As Jim Inhofe demonstrates every time he opens his mouth.
