Occasionally we here at JBM like to look in on the absolutely deluded Juan Cole. We figured that the occasion of Pierre Gemayel’s murder would bring forth yet another BDS driven rant…and we were right!
The assassination of Lebanese cabinet minister Pierre Gemayel on Tuesday has thrown that country further into yet more turmoil.The crisis is a further testament to the bankruptcy of George W. Bush’s Middle East policy. Under the dishonest rhetoric of ‘democratization,’ what Bush has really been about is creating pro-American winners and anti-American losers in Afghanistan, Iraq, Palestine and Lebanon. Bush’s vision is not democratic because he always installs a tyranny of the majority. The vanquished are to be crushed and ridiculed, the victors to exult in their triumph. It is like a Leni Riefenstahl film.
Yes, intrepids, Cole has achieved the Moonbat Trifecta:
1. It’s all Bush’s fault.
2. Invoked the socialist Third Wave concept of “The tyranny of the Majorityâ€
3. Alluded to the Nazi in context with George W. Bush.
And how does this highly educated moron prove his point? By showing how bad it is to take out of power tyrannical minorities that slaughter the people they rule. By Cole’s way of thinking the North was completely wrong in freeing the slaves from a handful of wealthy elites.
But then Neo-Coms like Cole think that an elite should run things. We should have the Proper People who think the Proper Thoughts running things for us less Properly Socialized peons. Yes, to Cole, Democracy is a Bad Thing™.
