Has the right wing lost its marbles?

By Peter Fenn

Ann Coulter mocking the effort to help hundreds of schoolgirls kidnapped in Nigeria. Rush Limbaugh spending days bloviating that climate change is a left-wing political conspiracy and has nothing to do with science. Karl Rove — paging Dr. Rove — who has diagnosed former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton with brain damage.

How is it that anyone takes them seriously?

It reminds me of the old lyrics from a Gerry and the Pacemakers song:
How do you do what you do to me,

I'm feelin' blue,

Wish I knew how you do it to me

But I haven't a clue

I really don't have a clue why they are doing what they are doing and I can't imagine anyone wanting to emulate the likes of Coulter, Limbaugh and Rove. Least of all, a reasonable, responsible Republican Party.

The right wing has a small but militantly dedicated group of followers who listen to this nonsense.

Of course, it's only because this is the kind of garbage that they wish was true. Listening to one of their sleazebags vilify others makes them feel good about themselves.

Oh, it'll use stupid people wherever it can find them, but money is firmly in control.
