Wingnut quote of the decade: "As Putin rears his head and comes into the air space . . "

"As Putin rears his head and comes into the air space of the United States of America, where– where do they go? It's Alaska. It's just right over the border." - Sarah Palin

This nails the wingnut mentality. You have to be stupid to think physical proximity proves expertise. Since Sarah is a leader on the far right and they backpedal defending her, her quote about Russia should be their campaign slogan.

Let this brand of ignorance proudly lead them into the new decade. :patriot:

1. I don't know, when it comes to the whole decade there are some contenders.

Like "When gynecologist can't practice there love with women"
The contenders are there.

3. I considered that one and others

I just feel that Palin's quote about Russia speaks volumes about the stupidity of the wingnuts.

5. The Great LaRouche Toad-Frog Massacre

On June 21, 1988, the following item appeared on page 3 of the daily Bloom Beacon, sandwiched between an article on the plummeting price of cow tongue and "Dear Abby":

COMMUNISTS AT U.S. DOORSTEP

by Milo Bloom, Investigative Reporter

Today it was discovered that after years of aggressive expansion, the Soviet Union has stretched its borders to within a mere 12 miles of American soil. The State Department has no immediate comment.
...which wasn't particularly surprising since the State Department had been aware for some time that the easternmost tip of Siberia comes within a polar bear's whisker of Alaska, but who cares since it's too damned cold to worry about. But the vast bulk of the Beacon's readership had no such knowledge and a subdued rumble of patriotic consternation coursed through the local population like some frightening new flu virus. The consensus was that something ought to be done.

"SOMETHING," bellowed Steve Dallas at a hastily called town meeting, "SHOULD BE DONE!" He pounded the table, looking properly drunk with nationalistic fervor. Eunice Annanburg suggested CIA assassinations of most of the Kremlin, but she was soundly overruled in favor of a more moderate response. A letter would be dispatched to the President informing him of the crisis. (Years later, Caspar Weinberger would write in his memoirs that he had been sent to the White House to reassure Mr. Reagan that it wasn't necessary to send the Sixth Fleet to investigate this new business. We were pleased our letter had attracted the attention it deserved. The President was a fave-rave in Bloom County.)...

8. She's made so many more stupid comments

it's hard to pick just one.

That some people still think she's qualified to be president of the United States is truly frightening. A more mean-spirited, vindictive, head-up-her-ass person does not exist in the public forum.
