Desperate Right-Wing Media Mocks Obama Rally"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>Let&#8217;s face it, conservatives are becoming more desperate and delusional every day. They hate their nominee for president and, in order to avoid the unthinkable prospect of President Obama&#8217;s reelection, they are literally hallucinating as they report on campaign events.<\/p>\n<p><center><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/Pix\/Campaign2012\/obama-romney-rallies.jpg\" alt=\"Obama \/ Romney Rallies\" \/><\/center><br \/>\n<\/p>\n<p>The Fox Nation posted an article they sourced from Twitter (that&#8217;s right, the anonymous news pros at Twitter) that featured a photo taken at Obama&#8217;s rally in Ohio yesterday. The headline reads <em>&#8220;Not The &#8216;Overflow&#8217; Crowd Obama Hoped For.&#8221;<\/em> However, the photo contradicts the headline by showing thousands of supporters in the stadium&#8217;s stands. While it does not appear to be a full house, it is clearly well-attended. Officials estimated the crowd to be approximately 14,000. It should also be noted that the Twitter photo appears to have been taken prior to the start of the rally as other photos show the area in front of the stage to be packed with supporters.<\/p>\n<p>The severity of delusional dysfunction was even more acute at Breitbart where they posted the same Twitter pic with the headline <em>&#8220;Obama Launches Campaign In Empty Arena.&#8221;<\/em> Empty? Really? Their readers must suffer from extreme cognitive impairment if they can read this tripe without falling down laughing. They even have a visual aid to make clear that the arena was far from empty. The arena holds 20,000, so it was more than two thirds full for an event six months prior to election day.<\/p>\n<p>The brazen dishonesty of the the Breitbrats and the Fox Nationalists seems to have no lower boundary. They just keep descending into ever more surreal fantasy. By posting these hilariously mislabeled images they invite real world comparisons &#8211; which I have provided above. With rallies on the same weekend, Obama inspired thousands more than Romney&#8217;s paltry meetup. Which audience would you rather have if you were running for president?<\/p>\n<p>You really have to wonder what motivates these wingnut propagandists. Surely they could produce better material than this. Maybe I&#8217;m giving them too much credit. Maybe this really is the best they can do. Or maybe the GOP has been overrun by a cell of Dadaist comedians and this is their idea of humor. God, I hope it&#8217;s the latter. That would explain things, because this is truly hysterical.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Let&#8217;s face it, conservatives are becoming more desperate and delusional every day.
