Day 1 – Cameron-gate
Holy Hay-Seuss. These guys never stop adding names to their enemies list. Word on the internets now has Great Britain and the Conservative party Prime Minister David Cameron being added to the Wingnut Welfare Society’s Great List of Enemies to the Cause.
The great CRIME you ask? Cameron said this in a speech in Turkey:
Just as Turkey is playing a pivotal role in Afghanistan, it can also do so in the Middle East. Turkey’s relationships in the region, both with Israel and the Arab world, are of incalculable value. No other country has the same potential to build understanding between Israel and the Arab world. I know that Gaza has led to real strains in Turkey’s relationship with Israel, but Turkey is a friend of Israel, and I urge Turkey, and Israel, not to give up on that friendship.
Let me be clear: the Israeli attack on the Gaza flotilla was completely unacceptable. And I have told Prime Minister Netanyahu we will expect the Israeli inquiry to be swift, transparent and rigorous. Let me also be clear that the situation in Gaza has to change. Humanitarian goods and people must flow in both directions. Gaza cannot and must not be allowed to remain a prison camp.
But as, hopefully, we move in the coming weeks to direct talks between Israel and the Palestinians so it is Turkey that can make the case for peace and Turkey that can help press the parties to come together and point the way to a just and viable solution. [em-mine]
I think the Gaza Strip – Prison Camp line sent the nutters over the edge into sheer and depraved Wingnuttery, sending various Nutters into a cross linking Flurry.
DISCLOSURE: For the Record I am not a Neoconservative. This means that I do not know EVERYTHING. This separates me from the actual Neoconservatives who, reportedly, do know everything about everything. Which leads one to wonder, if Neoconservatives know everything, why are they usually wrong? Naturally not being a Neoconservative, I do not know this answer. You would have to ask a real life Neoconservative to tell you why Neoconservatives are wrong so often. The Real Life Neoconservative, who does know everything, would then be able to tell why Neoconservatives, despite knowing everything, are so often wrong. The answer of which, by the way, would probably be either very unsatisfying or a non-answer at best.
Anyway, not being an Expert, I am not quite sure why the Conservative Party Prime Minister of America’s dearest Ally deserves the Full Metal Wingnut treatment. Gaza is severely fucked up. Everybody knows this - most especially the people living there, I suspect. Cameron knows this. People in Turkey know this. Everyone knows this.
Folks are naturally going to be more sympathetic to efforts to feed hungry people than they are to possess fealty to bizarre incomprehensible neoconservative political ideology. Who are you going to side with? Choice A – Hungry desperate people? Or choice B – the nocturnal scribblings of ranting Neoconservative Hucksters?
I pick choice A – Hungry folks. Yes I know there is terrorism. Yes I know the Place is fucked up. However I’ve already said that I don’t know everything. But what I do know, is that feeding hungry, desperate folks isn’t wrong.
I guess that could earn me a spot on the enemies list – of course there is absolutely no possibility that I will ever become the Prime Minister of Britain, if that matters. Probably doesn’t.
