A Nearly Fatal Lack Of Self-Awareness

MoDo the Red writes her best AbFab freak out column yet.  The core of it is actually accurate:

The dispute over the Islamic center has tripped some deep national lunacy. The unbottled anger and suspicion concerning ground zero show that many Americans haven’t flushed the trauma of 9/11 out of their systems — making them easy prey for fearmongers.

Many people still have a confused view of Muslims, and the president seems unable to help navigate the country through its Islamophobia.

It is a prejudice stoked by Rush Limbaugh, who mocks “Imam Obama” as “America’s first Muslim president,” and by the evangelist Franklin Graham, who bizarrely told CNN’s John King: “I think the president’s problem is that he was born a Muslim. His father was a Muslim. The seed of Islam is passed through the father, like the seed of Judaism is passed through the mother.”

Graham added: “The teaching of Islam is to hate the Jew, to hate the Christian, to kill them. Their goal is world domination.” 

And it would be a powerful observation if it hasn't been directly preceded by this:

The country is having some weird mass nervous breakdown, with the right spreading fear and disinformation that is amplified by the poisonous echo chamber that is the modern media environment.  

Of which MoDo the Red completely disavows any personal knowledge of, you see.  You know, despite laying into Obama because he's too smart and not empathic enough, and laying into Obama because he's not smart enough and too empathic, and laying into Obama because he's not as clever as Bugs Bunny or...something...I think.

This is her classic MO, she says a couple of good core things and then drowns it in rampant Obama bashing, then denies she's any part of the "poisonous echo chamber".

It would be hysterical if it wasn't so pathetic.
