Lightworker Schtick Pretty Much Dead

Mark Shea.

excerpt:

And speaking of stupid stupid STUPID, here's garrulous Uncle Joe Biden putting the first of many bullets in his feet:

"I hear all this talk about how the Republicans are going to work in dealing with parents who have … the joy and the difficulty of raising a child who has a developmental disability,” said Biden, who’s wife is a teacher. “Well guess what folks? If you care about it, why don’t you support stem cell research?”

This is stupid for so many reasons. First, does the Party of Exterminating the Unfit *really* want to take on a mother who loves her child and has not followed Dem party platform of liquidating the lebensunwertes leben? Doncha think that those tender images of Piper and Trig sort blow to hell all those "Abort Prolifers!" pics that the Dem base specializes in, Joe? Do you *really* want to suggest that she doesn't love her son right there on national television, you moron?

Second, having just established last week that you, in some mysterious Pickwickian sense, "believe" the Church's teaching the life begins at conception, do you really want to immediately follow that up with "So let's start cannibalizing those babies right away, on pain of being charged with contempt for the disabled!"

And finally, when you are trying to pass yourself off as the Voice of Science vs. Irrational Religious Dogmatism Interfering with Progress, Joe, doncha think you should, like, know what you are talking about just a little bit. For instance, doncha think you should know that Down's Syndrome could not be helped in the slightest by embryonic stem cells? Indeed, don't you think you could familiarize yourself with that fact that nobody's been helped by ESCR and that nobody opposes adult stem cells, which actually have been useful?

What. a. Maroon.

So: keep it up Team Obama. You're cracking up and you don't know what to do. I'll tell you what not to do: stop attacking Palin and her family. Get your mind off her fecundity, her kids, especially the disabled one who fills you with shame for your bloody advocacy of his extermination. Try to focus on the issues. Ignore the guilt you feel for 40 years of fanatical zeal for putting kids like him to death and pressuring women like her to kill him. Beat down the voice of your conscience while you yammer something about "integrity". Ignore the compulsion to call her a Pig in Lipstick. Muscle down the revulsion/shame/hate and fear that you feel when the damn kid who should have been killed in any truly hygenic society is loved by another member of that disgusting swarming brood of breeders. Be cool. Keep it together.

Suppress. The. Scream.

But you can't.
