Awright, this thing we’re linking to is a couple days old. (Boo!) Today is Obama’s town hall meeting in Portsmouth, N.H., so we thought it was appropriate. (Yay!)
We suggest you read it first and then take a look at some of the batshit crazy videos we’ve embedded below. (Or maybe start here at CNN’s Political Ticker with a video of a guy telling Arlen Specter that God will judge him and his cronies on the Hill.) The stuff you just read at Daily Kos (liberal blog rag that don’t mean shit! — Markos Moulitsas Zúñiga’s parents were immigrants! — and he’s from Chicago! — Obama worked in Chicago! — we hate minorities from Chicago!)…
Wait a minute. There’s been so much insane blather out there that it got into my head and took over my fingers and thumbs while I typed. But I just had some herbal tea and inhaled some horse liniment and feel much better. Continuing, from the Daily Kos, is their imagined list of concessions from the Obama administration to wingnuts who think Gram-Gram is gonna be put down like a lame horse:
We will not euthanize your grandmother. This is the big one, and I really hope you guys appreciate how much of a concession this is on behalf of the progressive movement. Since the days of the Bull Moose Party, progressives have wanted nothing more than to slaughter old people by the millions. That much is obvious. After all, if we wanted senior citizens to have long and healthy lives, why would we have created Social Security and Medicare? Think about it. Death to grannies has long been the core of progressive policy, so it’s not without some consternation that we give it up. So there: no euthanizing old people. You’ve got it.
This post is poking fun at the wingnuts out there, but the problem is that people actually think the things Daily Kos refutes will happen if someone doesn’t stop the illegal illegitimate Negro president. And there are (former and future) politicians who want their constituents to think all this stuff is true.
So here’s what happens when insanity goes unchecked:
We like the picture of Obama as The Joker there. Not that we put a lot of stock in comic book adaptations in politics, but the assholes who painted Obama as The Joker/Socialist should know that The Joker was an anarchist and would have hated socialists. Because anarchists don’t like government-run anything. That’s why they’re called anarchists.
Anyway, here’s Bill “The Fuck?” O’Reilly:
Bill O’Reilly seems to be not insane for once. And then at about 1:23 in, he makes the claim that the media is full of two-faced scumbags who didn’t point out that Vietnam war protests in the 1960s and 1970s were organized by the left and that they’re hypocrites for pointing out the town hall disruptions have been orchestrated by the right.
Christ, people listen to this asshole. You’re right, Bill. There’s no difference between protesting a deadly, unpopular, futile war, and protesting at town hall meetings because you were fed misinformation, lies and poor reasoning. And we’d be fools and communists to make a claim that there is. (He goes on to say that he doesn’t think people should be shouted down at town hall meetings — they should just be shouted down at his show, I guess).
More crazy:
And finally, “Fox & Friends” (insane) and Michelle Malkin (superfuckinginsane). Malkin can barely wait a minute and a half before invoking evil ACORN.
“I just love my country. And I fear for it.”
