Wouldn't say “Great” Minds Think Alike, but certainly “Some” Minds Think Alike

Two right-wingers have come to the same conclusion at the same time. Ted Nugent, the aging one-hit wonder of the late 1970s and really, really enthusiastic gun advocate, tells us about black people voting for the Democratic Party:

The truth is that the Democratic Party has been the engineer of the destruction of black Americans, and everyone knows it except the very people who need to know it the most - black Americans. The turbo-destruction will continue for black Americans until they realize that dirty Democrat politicians are their true enemy, not their salvation. Fortunately, some are beginning to embrace this self-evident truth.

And, at the same time, Herman Cain, the marvelously entertaining gaffe-machine of the 2012 Republican primary, says about Americans in general that President Obama is continuing his campaign even though the election is over and he's been reelected and Cain and Bill O'Reilly agree that Obama has not been able to solve all of America's problems (Gee, an obstructionist House majority and a constantly-filibustering Senate minority wouldn't have anything to do with that, would they?), but the real problem is that (selected excerpts) “51% of the voters were...misled enough to vote for him.” O'Reilly: “How dumb are they?” Cain: “We have a severe ignorance problem.” So yeah, I guess we liberals are just too stupid to know what's good for us.

Funny how, when the “smart people” were in charge, we ended up getting into a completely unnecessary war and the Great Recession. Hmm, strange how that works out!
