I wasn’t lying when I said I would begin to respond to the stupid arguments made on political blogs. Red state may close its comments to think-a-likes, but I can respond right here.

In a post named “Barack Obama is Either Stupid or Willfully Ignorant“, Redstate author “Erick” makes the following argument:

Barack Obama is either stupid or willfully ignorant because he thinks that Iran doesn’t pose the same threat the Soviet Union once raised.

Erick then points out a loose connection between Iran and Hezbollah’s 1983 attack on US Marines in Lebanon.

The bombing by Hezbollah resulted in a tragic loss of US servicemen lives. However the use of an inexpensive carbomb by an organization that probably has less trained men than the Rhode Island National Guard hardly qualifies it to be a threat comparable to the level of an international superpower with tens of thousands of nuclear weapons, millions of professional soldiers, advanced military technology and winner of the space race. It certainly does not warrant the use of qualifiers like ’stupid’ and ‘willfully ignorant’ which are a product of the authors irrational anger and not a consequence of critical logic.

You sir, Mr. ‘Erick’, fail. You fail on so many levels that your keyboard license ought to be revoked.

That is all.
