Anyone see Trish Regan make a complete fool of herself and get utterly stomped on by the internet?

She went on Fox Business Channel to try to take shots at the country of Denmark by comparing them to Venezuela and saying Danes are lazy entitled losers with low employment and no freedoms. And a Danish politican fired back and her and absolutely devastated her. The response has become way more viewed than Trish's original segment is.

That's pretty great.

I've really begun to clue in that many people - but particularly the mainstream right - have no idea what the fuck political terms they're using actually mean. Political terms just get labelled with GOOD or BAD, and all the bad terms end up meaning the same thing.

So it means the politics of Venezuela right now, and the politics of Denmark as [i]exactly the same[/i] to them, despite being worlds apart. It's really odd.

@CountScrofula Ugh, god, Venezuela is the catch-all for neocons. You say anything that hints at even moderate leftism and they immediately turn purple and scream "VENEZUELA!!" until you swear their lungs are going to collapse.

@BlueMetalChick I doubt they even particularly know or care about what's going on and why.

@CountScrofula They're a foreign country with a population of people who aren't White Christians, of course they don't care.
