Gibbs has the audacity to actually come up with this tripe and think that it will pass without anyone saying a damn thing? This is laughable. He reminds me so much of Baghdad Bob it is not even funny anymore...now on with the comedy act
Let's help Gibbs out with this....
Imagine just a few years ago had somebody walked around with images of Hitler.
Let's see if we can imagine that, Bob.
Click here, and just keep scrolling.
Or,
here. You will be scrolling for a solid five minutes to exhaust the Hitler images employed by the left for eight solid years against Bush, and that's in just two blog posts. They were ubiquitous; far more prevalent that Nazi imagery in the Tea Party movement. Saying what Gibbs said, or repeating it credulously, requires an incredible amount of dishonesty.
Hmm, let's
try a search on Flickr, just so we're sure I'm not cherry-picking.
Looking for something more recent?
How about Alan Grayson's health-care Holocaust in America crusade, by which Gibbs was markedly less "stunned" despite the fact that Grayson's an elected official making Holocaust comparisons on the floor of the House. Imagine.
Before Gibbs took leave of his senses and all sense of history today, the White House had a more petulant response to the gathering, at which actor Jon Voight spoke. Yesterday, Gibbs very kindly stopped himself from making a "Deliverance" joke about the attendees.
Considerate.
I would argue that the White House Press Secretary implying a joke about how protesters are rednecks prone to anal rape would fall into the category of "stunning" and "personally disagreeable," but I digress.
I guess this is what they meant by "audacity."
