"Diseased Minds" Video of the Day

Watching The Daily Show last night, we were expecting the customary, hilarious satire of the day's nonsense, mostly produced by wingnuts.  We got more than that last night when Jon Stewart delivered an angry rebuttal to the Fuxers and others on the far right over both their obsession with the "latte salute" by President Obama and their mockery of UAE's female pilot Maj. Mariam al-Mansouri.  It's an unusually passionate take down of their fake patriotism and their "diseased minds" that makes one want to stand up and cheer.  It's a long clip, over 7 minutes, but worth watching.

Apparently wingnuts and their enablers in the media are in a hyper-caffeinated snit over the picture showing President Obama disembarking from Marine 1 holding a cup while saluting two Marines.  While it's never a good idea to salute while holding anything -- and his other hand was free -- the right wing lit up with angry accusations of "disrespecting the military" and so on.

Well, when it comes to "disrespecting the military," it's hard to find an equal in former President George Dumbya Bush.  He sent our military men and women into harm's way in Iraq on false premises, and likely went AWOL while ducking the draft serving in the Alabama Air National Guard during the Vietnam war.  As far as salutes go, here's a classic of Dumbya including his dog Barney in his salute.  Tsk tsk, such disrespect!
