Sick and wrong on too many levels to count
A special UN rapporteur is coming to the UN to investigate what role racism might play in the US presidential campaign. Bear in mind that this Senegalese guy is a bigwig in the Islamic world with a record of anti-Semitism. And then there’s the clown from our own government who says that our going along with this shows we’re “leading by example.”
That’s the second time I’ve heard the phrase “leading by example” today, the other being Barack Obama’s assertion to an Oregon crowd that we’re going to have to walk around chilly and hungry. (Well, maybe go around on bicycles.) (See post below.) “Lead by example” is starting to sound to me like it means “invite the world’s scumbags to trample on our freedom.”
