George Will goes Godwin
Today's bit of idiocy by St. George takes the cake, what with it not just containing the usual bad logic, ridiculous statements and obtuse language, but going quasi-Godwin in the process.
According to Saint George,
According to Saint George,
- The (evil?) Obama's drive to federalize voter registration is part of his master plan to make voting compulsory
- Holder's comment "We should rethink this whole notion that voting only occurs on Tuesday" is "loopy" because, wait for it, in most states people vote before Tuesday. (Yeah. I don't get it either. But it makes sense to St. George)
- Takes a statement from the Heritage foundation (Fair! Balanced!) that voter registration rolls are in poor shape with more registered voters than actual people as gospel, and proceeds to use it as evidence that justifies the long waits in line to vote (strangely, only in tossup states. Hmmmmm), while blaming it on the Federal Govt. (I wonder if St. George has ever been to a - state run - DMV?)
- Notice the perverse dialectic by which Washington aggrandizes its power: It promises to ameliorate problems exacerbated by its supposedly ameliorative policies" <--- Yeah, whatever
- Managed to jump from "our democracy is stronger when more people have a say in electing their leaders." to "mandatory voting". Seriously. No waiting.
- Rapidly moves on to claiming that people don't vote because they are happy.
- Manages to state that smart people don't vote 'cos each vote is of infinitesimally small value, only emotional people (who aren't smart?) vote, but making voting harder changes this dynamic (how? lord knows).
- And then the grand-daddy of them all, basically saying "You know who else had high voting rates? The Nazis!". Seriously.
