Dumbest fake outrage yet?

The incredibly stupid right wing fake outrage now being called “#LatteSalute” is absolutely everywhere today; the entire Unison Parrots’ Chorus is screeching in tune about this idiocy. It’s the biggest brainless wingnut uproar since the dreaded Umbrellagate, and now even repellent old crocodile Pat Robertson is jumping on it, somehow turning it into a statement that Obama’s only ordering airstrikes against ISIS to “get a lot of brownie points before the election.”

These people are not well.

Is there ANY conservative out there pointing out to their fellows just how fucking stupid they look right now?

Nope. Not a single one, and then the big media outlets realize that they’ve got to jump on to the click bait express, and they join in with the nonsense without the slightest bit of hesitation.

The NRSC has to fundraise off the cup salute, because they can’t fundraise off the failure of the Affordable Care Act - aka Obamacare:

Hiding from bears. Forget zombies. Forget vampires, just let Bryan know that there are bears in the woods near his home, and he’ll be a shut-in thereafter.

I can’t. I think he has blocked me sine he disappeared from the list of people I follow and I can’t do a twitter search for him.

Hmmm… maybe the US sigint/humint is better than some are willing to give it credit for - and that locals might not realize who these terrorists are or distinguish between them and other ISIL and rebel groups:

They might invite egg on their faces? Wingnuts have been a spinach and cheese frittata for years now!

I actually was waiting for someone to say Obama’s only ordering airstrikes against ISIS to improve his polls before the election.

The GOP is getting scared. This is a popular action and it will improve Obama’s polls.

22 Snarknado!  Sep 24, 2014 10:43:16am

There’s nothing else for them to do. If not this, they’d have to either approve of attacking ISIL (Obama did good, horrors!), or oppose it (which means, in their twisted minds, being soft on the Islamic foe).

A magnificent dilemma for them, and I’m loving it.

Two weeks ago:

HE’S NOT DOING ANYTHING ABOUT ISIS!!! HE HAS NO STRATEGY!!! WE NEED A REAL LEADER!!!

This week:

WHY IS HE ATTACKING ISIS?!? HE MUST BE TRYING TO IMPROVE HIS POLL NUMBERS!!!

And they wonder why people point and laugh.

Jim Wright. Hammer. Nail. Let’s all go home.

Listen to me, when the worst thing that happened to you today is that the president waved at a Marine with a cup of coffee in his hand, when THAT’s what you’ve got to be offended by, then you really don’t have any actual problems. You’re just being an asshole.

Nope. Besides the fact that the GOP will claim both sides of the issue they will also within a few days claim that Obama did not start bombing soon enough, or drop enough bombs.

And since the attacks involved both planes dropping bombs and ships firing missiles they will also cry about there not being troops being put on the ground. (And if Obama does eventually do that it will be crying about him putting soldiers in harm’s way in order to boost his polling numbers.)
