I got the most devastingly dumb comment in my comments section at CB on a post about Raila Odinga, Obama and Jihad, I just had to share.

Conservatives are so afraid that the capitalist systems that favor the rich will be lessened, that they will not even stop to think about those who have been suppressed for hundreds of years. Like in Kenya, where the Muslim minority is suppressed, and the government was ruled by, as you said yourself, a “dictator”. The pact signed seems to be an attempt to help those who are not having a voice be heard, and who are we to judge which morals are correct for all humankind! there are countless minority groups around the world that have been exploited and used for the benefit of those in power. It’s definitely not okay for groups to use violence to regain control, against anyone, even if they have been treated unfairly, but as far as judging other countries goes, we have no right. How can we possibly read all of the literature and understand it ALL, moreso, what about all of the undocumented information about history in countries around the world. All I’m saying is this, we all need to find a way to overcome violence, because it only perpetuates more violence, as seen by the chain reactions of generations of fighting in the name of religion. The US is very much at fault for it’s own share of unjust violence, just as much as the revolutionary groups fighting for equality. Maybe if people would stop to take a look from the other side they might be able to see things more clearly, and unemotionally. A president who can take pieces of Marxism to change our country to look towards the betterment of those who have been suppressed is not a bad thing. Marxism theories are about equality and the struggles of classes, not just communism. And lastly, just because those are his family members, it doesn’t mean that he will secretly fund them and provide terrorists with aid. But maybe conservatives think he will be able to accomplish all of this without Americans knowing, and against our Christian majority in America because Bush has been very successful at exactly this type of thing. What’s scarier than Obama using marxist methods to help the poor is the thought of MacCain inheriting the presidency and causing our nation’s ruin with his bullheaded tactless techniques. We will never be able to bomb people into submission, because there is too large of a Muslim population, and terrorist network. It’s silly to think that we will succeed without cooperating with EVERYONE in the global society. Oh, and are Oprah and her viewers and all the voters who chose Obama practicing takeyya also?
