Journal pudge's Journal: Freud Was a Moron 8

Journal by pudge

The unhinged left is going ga-ga over Tom Ridge responding to a question about John McCain showing he is different from George Bush, and he said "John Bush." This, they tell us, was a clear Freudian slip, proving that Ridge does seem them as the same.

If that's the case, then I suppose Ted Kennedy really believes Barack Obama is the same as Osama Bin Laden.

I would ask if we could stop being stupid now, but I unfortunately know the answer.

  • A reasonably person or one not so invested emotionally who made a bid deal of Ridge would say, "Hmm - well that makes me realize that it's a pretty stupid thing to draw a ton of meaning from what is just a slip of the tongue." While I can't begin to understand or predict the specifics, I'm betting the first three words out of the mouths of the others will be, "But that's different..."

      Yep, yep.

      When I saw a reply to this, before I saw who replied, I was thinking that someone might be saying "but that's different ..."

      No, it's not. Also not different? McCain saying Shia/Sunni, or Iran/Iraq. I call people and things the wrong names ALL THE TIME, including close relatives.

      • Yeah. When we were young, we used to laugh because grandma would call us the wrong names. She had 9 kids (twins at 49!?!) and about 30 grand kids. I call my own (only 2 a boy and a girl) the wrong names once in awhile. One of the many many times I've realized I wasn't nice enough to my parents/grandparents when I was growing up. And thankful for how amazingly well-behaved my kids.

  • So if the Left is so sure these kinds of things are "Freudian Slips", what do they say about Obama blurting out "my Muslim faith" on ABC this Sunday?

    The Gaffe [youtube.com]

    So, is a gaffe just a gaffe, or are all of these things really Freudian slips? If they want to play nasty, fine, I'll trade you a Tom Ridge "McCain-is-Dubya" slip for an Obama "Allahu Akbhar!" moment...

  • One reason people pay attention to Fruedian slips is because they think they are funny. They often happen in situations where they are inopportune at best and inappropriate at worst.

    Ridge's slip was inopportune... and was therefore very funny.

  • I would ask if we could stop being stupid now,...

    Dear Democrat party,

    Could you please stop trying to shore up your base? Thanks.

      So you're saying the Democratic base is stupid. Not very nice of you.

      • No, I'm saying they like to hear stupid things. Stupid, ridiculous, hysterical, asinine talk excites them, and asking them to refrain from that is like asking the GOP to please not talk about the things that pull the strings of its base. Might as well ask someone to please not breathe, as it would be suicide for the Dem party if they suddenly ceased "being stupid" (in how you mean in this JE).

        Understand that Liberals know this is all stupid junk, but Liberals are primarily emotion-driven, and the primary em
