'Pathetic': David Axelrod hopes U.S. voters defy suppression 'schemes'; Praises Afghan election requiring ID

David Axelrod has praised the election in Afghanistan with the most asinine lack of self-awareness possible:

Afghans defied threat of death to vote. Here's hoping Americans cast ballots in large #s this fall, defying schemes to make voting harder.

People in Afghanistan can defy death threats in order to cast ballots, but in the United States, “schemes,” which we assume would include voter ID laws, are an affront to civil liberties?

Noted liar and hack compares death threats to Afghan voters to voter ID verification in the 21st fucking century. @davidaxelrod

Oh, and by the way David, people voting in Afghanistan had to ::gulp:: present identification:

The Afghans had to show photo ID in order to vote…who really are the ignorant people?

@davidaxelrod Are you able to tie your own shoes or do you have to pay someone to do it for you? ID is essential to most and most have one.
