Chances are, the last time you heard someone say "Bring it!"
in regard to some critical personal remark,
it was followed by an escalation of the conversation --
perhaps even some pushing and shoving, if not fisticuffs.
This is, of course, the traditional inflammatory rhetoric
routinely used to hype and sell tickets and pay-per-view
subscriptions for boxing championships and rasslin' shows.
What you've probably never heard said
(literally in the next
breath)
by the utter-er of such a verbal challenge is: "On
the other hand, everybody
has a responsibility to tone down some of this rhetoric."
Well, there's always a first time, especially when the
utter-er is a rhetoretician whose primary goal is to change
every possible traditional American rule and protocol. You
know we're not talking about Randy Macho Man Savage or
Hector Macho Comacho here.
No,
the perfect example of a guy who talks the talk
but can't punch or forearm smash his way out of a wet paper
bag is none other than your Dear Leader -- the wannabe tough guy
who always sits cross-legged like a woman in a short dress
but who never fails to take his coat off and sloppily roll
up his sleeves whenever he entertains a crowd of Kool-Aid
drunk college kids.
Doesn't he look just like a foreman at a construction site
or warehouse when he does that? All that's missing is
the hardhat. If the Village People ever get back
together they should add a president character in a white
shirt and blue tie with his sleeves rolled up and his
wristwatch and bracelet hanging off his manly forearms as he
spells out Y-M-C-A in contorted limbs choreography.
In an interview with Harry Smith he says that he hopes
"Americans will start to lose their taste for vitriol" and
that he is "concerned about a
political climate in which the other side is demonized."
He adds:
"...when you've listened to [purveyors of vitriol like] Rush
Limbaugh or Glenn Beck it's pretty apparent...troublesome.
[They are] creating a climate in which you are
called a socialist...and even a Nazi."
But the very next time he appears on TV, there he is with
his sleeves all rolled up challenging his opponents to come
at him with their protests to his agenda. Never is
there a
warning to his groupies to quit calling their enemies far
worse things than Nazis and to quit playing the race card in
honor of his post-racial presidency.
“This is the reform that some folks in Washington are still
hollering about. And now that it’s passed, they’re already
promising to repeal it." The college crowd went wild
as Obama did his Ric Flair shtick. "They’re actually going
to run on a platform of repeal in November." Big
laughs and wild cheers. "Well, I say go for it!”
The best grudge match of 2010 will be held in tiny voting
booths on November 2nd.
Thanks to Barack Hussein Obama, however, the event is being
hyped like a Wrestlemania.
Your Dear Leader is
challenging YOU to roll up your sleeves and "Go for
it!"
Call the bully's bluff.
Walk the walk.
