Greg Sargent, responding to a Rasmussen poll result:
Palin is the top choice [for 2012 presidential nominee] among Republicans whose top concern is national security? I can see how folks would find Palin appealing as a folksy and combative hockey mom type, an outsider and reformer who dukes it out with coastal elites on behalf of [...]
The Washington Post Fans The Flames
Posted on June 12, 2009 by andrew- Filed Under Charles Krauthammer, Holocaust Museum shooting, The Washington Post, the media, wingnuts | Leave a Comment
On each of the last two days, the front page of The Washington Post has been dominated by the shooting at the Holocaust Museum. Articles on various aspects of the attack have appeared in almost every section of the paper, thanks to the local nature of the crime. In the opinion section of today’s paper, [...]
The Last Great American Hero
Posted on May 29, 2009 by andrew- Filed Under G Gordon Liddy, wingnuts | Leave a Comment
When I was a teenager, I used to listen to G. Gordon Liddy’s radio show. Not every day or anything, but when I had occasion to be in my car for an extended period of time during the early afternoon, I would frequently flip over to Liddy. I found him uproariously entertaining, in the same [...]
Sotomayor, Day 2
Posted on May 27, 2009 by andrew- Filed Under Sonia Sotomayor, wingnuts | Leave a Comment
I love this Yglesias line:
I had assumed that the way this was going to go was that conservatives would complain that Sotomayor is too liberal, then progressives would try to imply that conservatives were opposing Sotomayor because she’s too Latina, and then conservatives would whine. Instead, though, a large proportion of conservative really do seem [...]
Thanks For Your Concern
Posted on May 6, 2009 by andrew- Filed Under DC, education, wingnuts | Leave a Comment
It’s touching to see how much the National Review’s writers claim to care about “School Choice” for DC’s children, especially considering that they don’t appear to care at all for “Representative Choice” or “Senator Choice” for DC’s population as a whole.

Worst. Protest. Ever.

Wouldn’t this be illegal in the first place? DC’s extremely strict gun control laws, which I imagine are superseded by even stricter laws if these morons intend to march on federal property (ie, the Mall), can’t possibly allow a group of people to parade through the city carrying weapons, even if those weapons were legally [...]
Friday Wingnut Humor
Posted on February 20, 2009 by andrew- Filed Under Economics, wingnuts | Leave a Comment
I quote the entirety of an NRO post from one Mark R. Levin:
What Obama has that FDR did not have was the hindsight of seven decades that inform him that the New Deal was a failure.
Well said?

Outrage! Outrage! Outrage
Posted on February 5, 2009 by andrew- Filed Under stimulus bill, wingnuts | 1 Comment
The struggle to get a stimulus passed might not be so frustrating if the administration were facing serious, intelligent opposition. Instead, they’re facing- and currently losing to- the same idiocy we’ve been fighting for roughly sixteen years.
The front page of The National Review Online, that leading beacon of conservative thought, is currently dominated by this [...]
I’m Sure They Feel Appropriately Shamed
Posted on January 26, 2009 by andrew- Filed Under Robert Reich, wingnuts | Leave a Comment
It’s almost like former Secretary of Labor Robert Reich has no idea who Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, and Michelle Malkin are. Good luck with that one, Bob.
Spider-Man, Spider-Man, Does Whatever A Secret Muslim Manchurian President Can
Posted on January 9, 2009 by andrew- Filed Under Inauguration '09, Spider-Man, comic books, wingnuts | Leave a Comment
The correct reaction to a special Spider-Man story featuring Spidey saving the day at President-elect Obama’s inauguration would be to call it either a cute embrace of comics’ kitschy side or a shameless stunt by Marvel (or, perhaps accurately, both).
The incorrect reaction would be to call comics part of the liberal media bias MSM machine. [...]
They Don’t Get It
Posted on November 21, 2008 by andrew- Filed Under Sarah Palin, the Republican meltdown, wingnuts | Leave a Comment
As Carol noted this morning, Sarah Palin pardoned a turkey while other turkeys were being killed right behind her. The irony should be obvious to any thinking person.
The incident doesn’t make Palin a bad person (unlike her positions on the issues and certain actions she has taken), but it does portray her as a rather [...]
Republicans Demand Reinstatement Of Property Requirements For Voting Eligibility
Posted on October 29, 2008 by andrew- Filed Under 2008 presidential election, voting rights, wingnuts | Leave a Comment
I’m not even joking. One of the Corner’s psychos writes:
Try as I might, I cannot really understand how even a minimum standard of voting security can be maintained when, as an Ohio judge did yesterday, you decide to let the homeless vote.
Her argument is not merely that Ohio needs stricter security to prevent out-of-state residents [...]
In Fairness To The Psychopaths
Posted on October 21, 2008 by andrew- Filed Under 2008 elections, wingnuts | Leave a Comment
For the better part of eight years (at least), it was totally acceptable to publicly and emphatically accuse liberals of hating America. How were they supposed to know the rules had suddenly changed?

Scary
Posted on October 7, 2008 by andrew- Filed Under 2008 presidential election, wingnuts | Leave a Comment
I am truly frightened of what the crazies might do when Obama wins. Not of what they’ll do to Obama (I trust the men and women sworn to protect him), but of what they’ll do to the rest of us.
Of course, I’m much more terrified by what they’ll do if we give them power for [...]

ABC performs some actual journalism and investigates the charge that Sarah Palin attempted to ban books from her town’s library:
George Bush may or may not know how to read, but at least he never tried to ban the books other people were reading.

I Find Their Insanity Fascinating When It Doesn’t Terrify Me
Posted on August 14, 2008 by andrew- Filed Under 2008 presidential election, Barack Obama, religion, wingnuts | Leave a Comment
I’m a bit late on this, but the question only occurred to me just now:
If Republicans are trying to portray Barack Obama as the anti-Christ (and I’m not familiar enough with the symbolism to say whether or not I think they are1), aren’t they actually giving the fundies a reason to vote for Obama? Don’t [...]

For roughly 40 years (give or take an election cycle or two), the GOP has been the party of bigotry. Not every Republican has supported this policy, and certainly not every Republican is a bigot him or herself, but every single Republican politician with success on the national stage has in some way benefited from [...]
Why Not Just Post A Sign Reading, “Racist Emails Wanted”?

John Derbyshire at The Corner has a brilliant idea:
Since Obama humor seems to be this week’s topic, I suggest we have a contest. Readers are invited to supply the punch line to any or all of the following Obama-joke openers. Prizes to be announced.
In case you thought Corner readers might be unable to come up [...]

Sorry to do another post on the whole Auschwitz/Buchenwald thing; I know some of you would probably prefer I ignore it from here on out. I promise, this one is much lighter and hopefully funny. The story is courtesy of Sadly, No!

Stupid Wingnut Explosions

The nuttier conservatives have been up in arms all day because Barack Obama, during a Memorial Day event, made a passing reference to an uncle who served in the United States armed forces during World War II. Here’s what the senator said while attempting to discuss our mental health care obligations to our veterans:
“I had [...]
