Seriously. In an article online about the “50 Worst Cars of All Time,” Time just couldn’t resist engaging in a little class warfare, mixed with a pinch of Global Warming alarmism, and topped off with a heaping slathering of Cheney bashing. How in the world, you ask, can an article about automobiles tread into all of these territories combined? Well, I didn’t think it could be done, but apparently it can. And which vehicle made 2nd worst vehicle of all time on their list that would give rise to all of this scorn? None other than the Hummer H2.

One struggles to think of a worse vehicle at a worse time. Introduced shortly after 9/11 — an event whose causes were tangled in America’s unquenchable thirst for oil — the Hummer H2 sent all the wrong signals. It was/is arrogantly huge, overtly militaristic, openly scornful of the common good. As a vehicle choice, the H2 was a spiteful reactionary riposte to notions that, you know, maybe we all shouldn’t be driving tanks that get 10 miles per gallon.

Not surprisingly, the green-niks struck back. A Hummer dealership was torched in Southern California. The H2 was also a PR catastrophe for GM, who happened to be repossessing and crushing the few EV1 electric cars at the time. It all contributed to GM’s emerging image as the Dick Cheney of car companies.

“…arrogantly huge, overtly militaristic, openly scornful of the common good.” Common good? Gee, that sounds somewhat familiar, now doesn’t it? Like Hillary’s proclamation that if she is president, she’ll take the oil companies’ profits and distribute them for the ‘common good,’ yes? Also, what is it with the “Not surprisingly, the green-niks struck back.”? Is Time an apologist for eco-whackos? Who determined that GM was sending all the “wrong signals” with the creation of the H2? Wrong signals in whose mind? How about instead of that, why couldn’t it have been viewed as a giant signal of “FUCK YOU” to a zealous “religion” that hates us for our affluence and prosperity? And how in the hell did the writer of this piece of garbage ever draw a line between a car company and Dick Cheney? Gee, I must be crazy. After all, liberal media bias is just a figment of my conservative imagination, now, isn’t it? Yeah, right.
