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

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 [...]
World War II Veterans Are Awesome

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!
One of the troglodytes in wingnutland was not satisfied with knowing the name of [...]
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 [...]

Another Thought On Obama, The Jewish Vote, And Dumb Right-Wing Strategies

I just read a few more blog posts discussing the Barack Obama/Jeffrey “Not the Goldberg of Liberal Fascism Fame” Goldberg interview and the ongoing attempts by certain right-wing smear artists to paint Obama as a closet Israel-loathing anti-Semite. Here’s what occurred to me:
Let these assholes continue to waste their time on this.
Seriously, who cares? I [...]
So… Many… Levels… Of… Crazy…

The Washington Times’ none-too-objective reporting on the protest; the elaborate planning in the sting operation; the idiocy of the employees who allowed the sting operation to work; the susceptibility of some people to this ludicrous argument… It’s all too much crazy to comprehend.

Mark Hemingway:
Yes, I see that after last night’s debate a large percentage of Democrats have decided that TV networks passing off former partisan operatives as objective journalists is a bad thing. But wake me when they’re complaining about Tim Russert and Chris Matthews as well.
Nope, Democrats never complain about Tim Russert and Chris Matthews. Those [...]

The Village Voice presents your 2008 election guide to the conservative blogs. Quite useful and quite funny. I especially appreciate the Stupid/Evil Ratio listed for each blogger profiled. The Fun Facts are also quite fun (and occasionally terrifying).

Excuse me, my head just exploded.
The post at the Corner makes the seemingly sincere argument that one reason we should fear Latino immigration is the alleged unlikelihood that Latino Catholics will be as supportive of Israel in the long-term as is America’s current Christian population. Go back and read that sentence again; it might take [...]
I’m Not Clicking Through To See How Bad It Is Among The Foaming At The Mouth Racists
Posted on April 3, 2008 by andrew- Filed Under Absolut, advertisements, wingnuts | 2 Comments
From James Joyner I learn that the wingnutosphere is up in arms over this Absolut Vodka ad that appeared in a Mexican magazine (originally discovered here):
Like Joyner, I’m not really sure I get the intended point of the ad from Absolut’s perspective (doesn’t Absolut traditionally turn maps and whatnot into the shape of Absolut bottles?), [...]
