Once again: A two second soundbite.

Talk about transmogrifying molehills into mountains.

As I said: this is nothing but pure manufactured outrage. I just wish “our side” wouldn’t contribute to the disingenuous sturm und drang. Tell me: why is it that McCain can court endorsements from the likes of John Hagee and Rod Parsley?

IOKIYAR.

And why is it ok? Because the GOP responds to outrage (manufactured or otherwise) with a collective shrug.

We progressives should learn how to firmly say “yeah, so fucking what?” too.

(Oh, and patriotic pearl clutchers like McQ can go lick my hairy, anti-American nutsack.)

You know what’s funny, most of the younger people supporting Obama probably don’t even know who Jane Fonda is. Heck, I only know because I took a Vietnam War class in high school and my teacher had a thing against her In the big scheme of things, I don’t think she’s that important and if conservatives have to resort to attacking Obama through her, it’s obvious they’ve got nothing else left.

I couldn’t agree more.

Still no matter how pathetic we may think it is being able to counter the wingnut attack ads sure to come out of this if it stays in the news cycle are a key skill. Look, what Fonda did was reprehensible. There’s no getting around that. Obama’s probable best course of action is to just ignore it unless asked and, if asked, denounce her.

This isn’t Power’s “monster” quote. Hell this isn’t even Wright. Fonda’s her own special kind of offensive and yes it will rub off on anyone she supports unless they disavow such support. We can’t ignore that, as much as we’d like to stick to the issues. She is an issue, especially to the important independent vote. Obama can’t ignore that.

But Coulter did that to keep her name in the news and remind everybody that she had a new book to sell. Even Coulter realizes that her act is getting old and she might have to get a real job soon.

Don’t forget that Ann Coulter endorsed and will work for Hillary.

I’ll take Jane anytime.

If Fonda really wanted to help candidates win, she would shut the hell up.

As for why the media still races to her everytime she has an opinion, that’s beyond me. She hasn’t done anything meaningful since the 70s. Maybe if I commit a famous act now, in 2048 the media what ask me what I think, too!
