The most mind-numbingly stupid post of 2008? December 23, 2008

With time running out in 2008, it’s time to look for the most stupid thing said on Teh Political Internets this year. Via Sadly, No!, I’m nominating this post:
“Do you have proof to back up that racist statement? Any studies? Any statistics??”
Of course not, you dickhead.
Unlike you, I didn’t waste the last good years of my life being brainwashed in academia; I lived with and worked with and talked with actual, normal human beings (professors definitely don’t count) and that’s how I formed my knowledge of how the world really works. Through the evidence of my senses and my own personal experiences.
I do not rely upon junk science or faux history or Marxist theory.
Most of these commenters and bloggers are clearly jealous of the simple fact that I’m smarter and more worldly than they are, that all their “education” and backpacking around the world actually made them dumber than I am — but they can’t admit that.
I thought about a “shorter Kathy Shaidle” along the lines of “Facts make you stupid in that they make you less racist. Too bad you tolerant assholes can’t be a genius like me.” But really, that might be good fun, but it’s not strictly necessary, since the verbatim Shaidle is so much more hilarious.
If, for example, I was to claim that Ms Shaidle learned all she knows about other races and gay people by watching interracial gangbang porn, reading Stormfront, and talking down to the “darkies” that shine her shoes and the Asians (what are they? Korean? Chinese? She’s just not sure) who help her with math while they’re not passing out from half a wine cooler–if I were to make such an assertion, it would be no more stupid, no more illuminating of her idiocy than her own words.
If I were to say “to hell with the evidence, I’m going to be a racist on the basis of my massive brain and complete lack of education,” that too would be less stupid than what Ms Shaidle actually wrote.
So I despair of mockery! Any post so stupid that it defies parody must be a contender for mind-numbingly stupid post of the year.
But feel free to disagree: post nominations below.
I keep getting hung up on “last good years.” What does she mean by that? Did she peak during her early adulthood when she bummed around instead of going to college and that from point onward she has been on a pointless and inexorable slide toward the grave? That could explain her miserable outlook I guess.
Or perhaps she thinks generally that life is intended for the young and naive. Everyone else has to spend their days and nights toiling to keep the young naive, which she does with gusto.
Wow. That is weapons grade stupid.
