I'm actually really a little shaken up.
I know that stuff is out there. DU'er post snippets from time to time.But I've never seen that much 'stuff' concentrated into one hideous place.

(17,055 posts)I must say that I had always thought she was a Dem too UNTIL President Obama got elected. Then the truth shined it's way through. She doesn't actually say racist crap but you can tell she feels that way. I use to really like her and think that she was really intelligent. No more. But I zip my lip for family peace but if she was openly racist I would speak up in a minute flat.

(6,960 posts)Really, World Net Daily is kind of like the Onion ... except the publishers are serious, but it is actually a kind of pantomime of the ultra-Christian, apocalyptic right-wing.
Taking a look at WND once in awhile is a stark reminder that there are people out there who are even more right-wing crazy than Limbard listeners, Hannity followers, Drudge sycophants, etc. It also is a clue as to why these nuts are their own worst enemy.
And, for me, I'm a big believer in understanding where your 'enemy' is coming from because it make it easier to defeat them.

(6,960 posts)I have to also admit that since you can now post comments on WND, I do take a perverse pleasure in tweaking the noses of the more nutty Christian right-wingers.
Just write anything about there being no god or that Jeebus was 'just a man' and you'll have plenty to laugh at for the rest of the day.

Sometimes you don't know you're into the crazy until you're knee deep in it. Give yourself time. You'll recover.

Yet of course you can.
