Republican House Candidate Art Robinson goes all-in with the new GOP "Embracing Your Inner Maniac" strategy.



SO WHO IS ART ROBINSON


You know your crazy uncle? Not the amusingly eccentric one, but the magnetism-is-a-Commie-lie, I-can-smell-the-moon-people-with-my-mind, full-throttle-with-afterburner-crazy one who it perpetually boiling-piss infuriated about something?


Well apparently that uncle has joined something called the "Tea Party" and, in their wisdom, the good Republicans citizens of Oregon's 4th congressional district have chosen him to fight for their values and beliefs against Democrat Peter DeFazio in the upcoming national election.


The good Republicans citizens of Oregon's 4th congressional district did this in very much the same way -- and obviously using very much the same carefully calibrated set of competence-calipers -- that various other groups of Republican citizens (who these days often like to play dress-up in pantaloons and funny hats while pretending not to be Republicans) have used to select people like Sharron "Both Right and Obtuse" Angle, Christine "Meatballs But No Happy Ending" O'Donnell, Rand "We The Lying" Paul, Jan "Been Through The Desert With a Corpse With No Name" Brewer, Joe "A Noun, A Verb, and 'Unconstitutional'" Miller and Carl "Paulie Walnuts" Paladino to run for very powerful elected offices in their names.


Which is why, when Crazy Uncle Art went on the teevee last night and spent the better part of 18 minutes alternately yelling at Rachel Maddow, smirking at Rachel Maddow, interrupting Rachel Maddow, insulting Rachel Maddow, patronizing Rachel Maddow and calling Rachel Maddow a liar...as she patiently tried to read Mr. Robinson's own crazy words from his own crazy newsletter back to him and get him to explain his very bizarre ideas and/or confirm or deny that he continued to believe them...I literally could not look away.


It was a singular event, and seen from a safe distance, strangely beautiful, in the same way I would imagine the 1908 Tunguska event might have seemed beautiful if one had seen it from orbit.


As our democracy continues its long, painful, nervous breakdown and slide into McFeudalism, it is, I suppose, sometimes a blessing to have someone as purely rage-blown berserk as Art Robinson pop briefly out of the maelstrom, if only to remind us just how hilariously grotesque the Conservative Soul really looks without its makeup and pearls.



The Democratic Underground has your Art Robinson starter-kit here.

As I have said before , and will no doubt be moved to say again: Modern Conservatism is a disease. If you don't understand that, you're already infected.

4. I had to turn it off partway through.

It was just too irritating to watch this rude, angry idiot make such an ass of himself. Why should I give the jerk even a minute of my time?

5. I missed this last night -- holy crap!! n/t

6. Rachel was literally laughing at the end while he swivelled like crazy in his chair

angrily jabbing and poking at the air with his forefinger screaming, "liar!", "liar!". I've never seen such a meltdown! He was fascinating and horrifying and then suddenly he was jumping the shark hysterically funny and plain ludicrous. He melted down at the speed of light with that speed of light remark. And Rachel was relentless as usual. If he thought his antics would make her back down he's sorely enlightened now.

8. Robinson is pshycho

We here have been dealing with this nut job for months now. I recall with sadness the fact that some DUers have refused to support Peter DeFazio because he has been critical of some Obama policy and has tried to improve those policies. It is time for these Democrats to take a long look at Robinson, and figure out if they want that to replace DeFazio, just because Peter tried to get a stronger health care reform passed.

9. Obama/Pelosi made a mess of our economy, blah blah

sounds like the exact same script running on ads here in Western NY for Tom Reed, a puke running for congress. They infuriate me.
