Tea Party.
As the Conservative movement begins the final, shuddering stagger in its devolution from Teddy Roosevelt's Bull Moose to Glenn Beck's Downer Cow,
we here on the Sane Left have only one thing to say:
We. Fucking. Well. Told. You. So.

Son, I got one word for you:
Plastics.
Oh, I mean:
Marketing.
And nice artwork, Drifty . . . ;-)
O.M.F.G.
That's quite a video. The lack of clapmouthed pointing and uncontrollable derisive laughter as punctuation to nearly everything said makes it rather disturbing.
I would argue, though, that T.R. wasn't a Conservative. A Republican, sure, but a conservative only insofar as the word can pertain to actual conservation, a "small-c" at most.
I suppose you could say that he did deliver the Republican party into the hands of the Conservatives when he formed the Progressive party. Ah, well.
These people are the freakin'est scary people in the world. These are the people with the guns. These are the people "clinging to their guns and religion" and they scare the hell out of me!
And, what pisses me off really is that the media covers what amounts to a relative handful of people, no more than 5,000 nationwide I'd guess, like it was some sort of major revolution. When hundreds of thousands of people took too the streets in anti-war protests.... well there was hardly a blip.
If anything, fox is doing a real service to flush these cockroaches out into the light. scurry scurry squish.
Entropy can be a beautiful thing.
Excellent portrait of teh crazy, Drift.
Let their "tribulation" begin.
Let them not pay taxes. . .
Let them go to jail.
Sigh. I had to explain 'teabagging' to my 74 year old mother yesterday, thanks to Rachel Maddow and her crew's inability to get through that segment without tears running down their faces. Then, once she fully understood the double entendre, she was gasping and choking with laughter.
Glen Beck may have killed my mother.
i think i would pay to see glen beck teabagged by rush limbaugh
Tea bagged?
Is this another upper-class parlor trick unknown to the masses until accidentally let out of the bag in a fit of pique?
And if it's an effective maneuver, how possibly could RushedBough accomplish it successfully on the Beckoned?
Enquiring minds want to know.
Rock steady, Dg!

P.S. I believe I see the MOD Squad in that clip (from Chris Buckley's Thank You for Smoking).
I wonder if some of crazy Glenn's audience is a lot like the early Rikki Lake days. You know, people tuning in to see if someone throws a chair or has a mental breakdown. For Mr.9-12-I-hate-the-9-11-widows, I'm betting on the latter.
We're going to see more of the Rudy Giuliani Lie-And-Run Strategy.
In 2000 when Rudy was getting ready to run against Hillary for the Senate, his staffers openly admitted that their strategy was going to be spreading a bald-faced lie about Hillary, forcing her to go off-message to shoot down the lie, and then running down the road and launching yet another bald-face lie. Lather, rinse, repeat.
Of course Rudy isn’t the first GOP scumbag to use this strategy. Guys like McCarthy, Nixon, Ziegler, Reagan, Atwater, Rove were all there before him. But Rudy and his guys actually admitted it out loud. Clumsy, really.
Rudy used this strategy against McCain, and then against Obama, in 2008 (in one case Rudy even used the same attack against Obama that he had used against McCain). Then the McCain team adopted the same lie-and-run tactics against Obama, with their 30 smear ads. And now the entire GOP is doing it.
They know they can't win with the truth.
But they seem to forget what every seven-year-old knows. When you realize that your first lie didn’t work, telling more and more lies just makes you look stupid.
“Well, the dog ate my homework..and then the schoolbus was in a crash...and there was an earthquake...”
The Boy Who Cried Wolf could have told them the same thing if he hadn’t gotten et by the wolf.
Now listen to the Republican leaders over the last two months or so:
Barack Obama as an evil Muslim socialist dictator who had to fake his birth certificate like Adolf Hitler to be eligible for the top job! He underperformed in the election, he should have won by 20 points, even with the liberal media giving him a free pass! He is going to ration health care so people die, remove his enemies from the radio airwaves, build an all-liberal media, make millions peddling a global-warming hoax, cripple small businesses, build a bullet train to Vegas and Hollywood, slash defense, make his temporary unemployment policies permanent, put terrorists on the streets, put Capone-like Chicago criminals in charge of the government, take everyone’s guns, force women to have abortions, rig the census with ACORN, put our children in Communist indoctrination camps, and send gays in to destroy our army, invalidate all straight marriages and make all our wives whores and our children bastards! He’s in bed with those Democrats who caused the economic crash and prevented the lifeboats from saving Katrina victims! His bank buyout is really a giveaway! Anti-Obama tea parties are sprouting up spontaneously across this center-right nation and on the internet because the American people and big business hate Obama! The American people will rise up in revolution!! Let’s get our guns!!
Lies, every one of them. Except, of course, for the “let’s get our guns” part.
The GOP is so bad off, they could use a reasonably smart seven-year-old to get their story straight.
Or, they could actually act like grownups and, ya know, lead.
Hahahahahahaha! I crack me up!
And here’s the kicker. In 2012, all Obama has to do, is say...
“Okay, folks, it’s been four years. Did I take your guns? Ration health care? Throw Rush off the air? Destroy the army and the economy and the Constitution (like Bush did)? Put terrorists on our streets? Put your kids in concentration camps? Force women to have abortions? Rig the census? Um, no. We all knew the Republicans were desperate liars, and now we have the proof. Our economy’s looking better, and America is back. And that is IN SPITE of the Republicans. I’m Barack Obama and I approved this message.”
And he wins in a landslide. The GOP will never recover.
Evil does sow the seeds of its own destruction.
But sometimes it takes so damn long...
