On Right-Wingers Going Crazy...

Two notes on Kevin's observation that right wing writers are descending into hilarious self-caricature as Obama pulls ahead in the polls.

(1) Kevin notes that the right wing blog The Corner is now posting about "Obama being a secret Maoist." He's not kidding. Here's an actual quote, written with high seriousness: " fits comfortably with Ayers, who (especially now) is more Maoist than Stalinist." And, no, they aren't kidding. It makes me wonder: as someone who now wants the federal government to own America's bad mortgages, what kind of communist is John McCain?

(2) The right wing isn't just becoming more and more divorced from reality as their electoral prospects worsen. It's also becoming more racist and more susceptible to crazy conspiracy theories. One of them is actually claiming, sans evidence, that Bill Ayers ghost wrote Dreams of My Father.

Like I said yesterday, this is going to get hilarious before it's over...http://www.motherjones.com/mojoblog/archives/2008/10/10164_right_wingers_crazy.html

I don't want to get any exploding brain matter on my clothes.

2. They are always crazy. This gives them a chance to

exercise their insanity and demonstrate to the entire world how crazy they are, and how much crazier they can become.
It ain't over yet - they are just warming up.

Stand back so you don't get any on ya.

4. Going Crazy?!?!?!?

Hell, they've been crazy for a long time now.

However, they are now being quite funny and almost entertaining. Their fearless leader is leading them right into comedy central, and their own little Twilight Zone.

5. They've always been crazy. And they NEVER, ever, get the huge gulf between communism & socialism

9. Hmmm..

They say Socialism like it's going to be a bad thing. They say justice like Reparations is a bad thing. It needs to happen to pay for past injustices inflicted by this country. They're going crazy because they're finally going to be forced to share, rather than horde like the pigs that they are. Come on, people need healthcare, education, free daycare, prescription drugs, and more. It's all coming. Good to see the right-wing kooks losing their minds over it.

6. they are screaming about how palin looks on newsweek

These are the same people who are going crazy that Palin wasn't properly airbrushed on her Newsweek cover. They are the same people who have been insulting Obama for pronouncing words CORRECTLY, because apparently that is a sign of "elitism" (translation: educated). There is no LIMIT to how stupid right-wingers prove to be. And amazingly they embrace stupidity more and more as time goes by. It has quite literally become the party of illiterate inbreds.
