Not so very deep down, sambo hux, like most of the BDS crowd, is slowly coming to the realization that they’ve been had. Used by a master manipulator who won’t do more than throw a few bones their way to keep some 2012 options open. They had little to no effect on the election (did the nomination though). Their numbers are actually inconsequential compared to mainstream democrats and independents who voted for Obama with no thought given to the claims of stolen elections, lies, incompetence, Cheney as the puppeteer…all the meat and drink delusions of the BDS crowd.
PT Barnum’s wisdom, ‘there’s a sucker born every minute’, is actually a characterization, not a literal description. In my experience, it’s the same people getting suckered over and over again. The BDS crowd – and you have to make the distinction between them and mainstream liberal Democrats (or mainstream liberal Republicans and independents because they do exist) – are in that serially suckered group. And when you realize you’ve been had your first instinct if you’re a serial sucker is to try to make everyone who’s laughing their ass off at you believe you weren’t suckered. That red is black and things do indeed fall up. Not learn from it, but prepare themselves for the next hustler waiting in the wings to fleece you. Or the same hustler.
So you get the BDS crowd still visiting around and hyping their nonsense as if the election somehow validated it. The attempt comes off as tragic/comic desperation. Meanwhile, their banner bearer moves further to the center where the power lies.
It’ll get a lot shriller before it fades and for some BDSers, it never will. And it won’t be too long before the laughter morphs into pity. I thought it would take until the 2012 election cycle when Obama has to cut himself completely loose from them. Seeing it this soon – the celebration is pretty much over on the far left sites and angst is growing fast – does not bode well for him or them.
