The One With Aldacron

Rachel Maddow has more details on the loons I talked about in my last post. Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy

Recently, some right-wing lunatics got it in their heads to execute the citizen’s arrest of a Tennessee grand jury foreman. The reason? He had refused to convene a grand jury to investigate the legitimacy of the Obama presidency after a group of Birthers, calling themselves The American Grand Jury, demanded he do so. One member [...]

I’ve forced myself to look at a few comment threads over the past few days where conservatives have been voicing their displeasure about the health care bill. Sorry, that’s a bit too mild. I should say, where conservatives have been screaming in rage about the health care bill. I’ve seen several comments that the liberals [...]

If you look back through the 20th century at most of the major social legislation passed by the US Congress, the Republicans have been on the wrong side almost every single time. Major reforms that they opposed include FDR’s New Deal, the Civil Rights Act and Medicare, among others. Based on their record, it seems [...]

Were I J. Jonah Jameson, I might have titled this post “The Teabagger Menace”. Despite the fact that they claim to be, and are claimed to be, average Americans, these people are proving to be batshit crazy. They’ve been making ridiculous comments and holding up ridiculous signs since the beginning of their “movement”, but now [...]

I’ll never understand why so many people buy in to the crap that people like Pat Robertson and Rush Limbaugh unleash on the world. Their recent comments over Haiti just add more to the pile. And Keith Olbermann, as always, expresses his disdain much more eloquently than I can mine.

Though he’s not a part of the upper echelon of right-wing extremist mouthpieces (Limbaugh, Hannity, O’Reilly), Neal Boortz is just as looney. This week, he really went far, far out into right-wing nutjob land with his attack on lower class U.S. citizens. A sampling: Everybody still living in a hotel or trailer after Hurricane Katrina, [...]

Yeah, I know. It sucks having these photos of yourself out there, putting your Miss California crown in jeopardy. It sucks that America has such a prudish society, where it’s anathema for someone representing a state in a contest in which the contestants have to prance around in skimpy bikinis, to actually have pictures taken [...]

Over at Atheist Revolution, vjack asks, “What is Really Driving Conservative Teabagging?” Ultimately, he puts forth the proposition “that the answer lies in lingering dissatisfaction from those who opposed Obama’s election.” There’s something to that, I’m sure. It is, as vjack points out, highly irrational to protest that their own taxes are being lowered while [...]

While Bush continues to make a mockery of Congressional oversight and the Democrats continue to bark with no teeth, Conservative mouthpieces continue to spew copious amounts of Idiocy to the few dimwitted supporters they have left. Chief among them these days is Rudy Giuliani. He’s proving to be a bigger idiot than even Rush Limbaugh [...]
