I’m unsure why their statements in the report you linked makes them worthy of the award. Reading the previous awards, it seems to me that none of them boiled down to “laughable statements unlikely to incite hatred or harm”, which is the worst I can say of this week’s.
‘1000 years of darkness’ is inflammatory to the right ears as it is ridiculous to ours.
Hmm. Not sure which are the right ears, then. I’m probably missing something, like what ‘1000 years of darkness” refers to. I took the whole thing to be preposterous, overblown US election-year political rhetoric.
Gena Norris was quoting Reagan and the speech it was pulled from was intended to get Christian Evangelicals to vote. In this context I think it’s pretty incendiary. The reason I put it up for the Douche was because the GOP rhetoric is hitting hysteria levels in terms of either Romney gets elected or there’ll be a revolution. That’s far from civil and very far from the basic respect that President Obama deserves.
