Dueling Dumbasses

They’re not government, but…John Fund and Boris Epshteyn are two of the biggest dumbasses in American politics today.  It doesn’t matter what they say or where they say it, they’re obnoxious and acutely incapable of engaging in a discussion without yelling over the person with whom they’re having the discussion.

These two fucks were on Bill Maher’s Real Time last night discussing what Romney said during the last Presidential debate:  “It took the president 14 days before he called the attack in Benghazi an act of terror."

During the subsequent exchange with Maher, Epshteyn and Fund stuck to the misinformed, Right Wing mantra that he did not, arguing the order of the words as opposed to the sum of the words in context. 

What the President said the day after the attacks on the Libyan Embassy was this:  “No acts of terror will ever shake the resolve of this great nation, alter that character, or eclipse the light of the values that we stand for.”  He said nearly the same thing the next day.

For the Language-Challenged:

I’ll give you one thing:  President Obama did not specifically say “Those evil-doers committed acts of terror against our guys,” or “For those of you who don’t know, those evil Muslims attacking our embassy was an act of terror.”  But, did he really have to?

In context, the President did call the attack an act of terror.  He was at the White House, giving a press conference specific to the attack.  Let me clarify – He was there only to talk about the attack; not the budget, not the debates, nothing else.  Since he was there to talk only about the attack, the phrase “no acts of terror will ever shake the resolve of this great nation” can only have been about the attack.  By default, he is defining what he’s there to talk about (the attack) an act of terror.”  What the fuck else could he have been referring to (i.e. defining) as an act of terror?

So please…STFU.
