Founders Fetish

The Tea Baggers claim to have the market cornered on "patriotism", when in reality they have the market cornered on using the imagery of this nation's birth in ways that would likely make Thomas Jefferson's blood boil.

Now it seems that those same conservatives are getting their collective knickers in a twist over a car commercial that features imagery that they find objectionable.



The money quote for me came from this HotAir commenter:

The patriotism is strong with that ad. To the extent that it reaches morons whose only interaction with patriotism will be said ad, I am willing to ignore the hypocrisy.

The projection doesn't get any more crystallized than that.

    OF all the things they find objectionable, they go after a car ad. CAMMAN! It's a funny ad.
