Right on!

The GOP strategists evidently have studied the MO of various AxisII personality disorders (or maybe they didn't need to because it was innate)

Nevertheless, speaking as someone who once had a raving BPD in my life, they play it to the tee.

BPD, NPD, SPD all have one thing in common. They are professional victims. They are also seductive and charming (to those from whom they hope to benefit). They also live in a parallel universe. Have any of you ever been kept up all night by a raging BPD because they were trying to make you "get it"? These people are deluded, tireless and relentless. They NEVER give up, and they NEVER EVER take responsibility for ANYTHING.

I belong to a listserve for survivors of BPD relationships, and whenever I hear anyone from the right spewing their usual crap, I get the same ghastly sickening feeling in the pit of my stomach that I used to get when my BPD SO went off on another tear. It is the same reaction I get when I read about the experiences of others with BPD mates. Many of swear that "we must have all married the same person" because their behaviors are all so similar.

What Glen is talking about is also revealed and amplified by much of what has been published on the topic of Axis II personality disorders. Do a little googling and see for yourself.

... now now, that wasn't very nice.

Necessary, but not nice.

Say, folks-

Don't let the sceptics get you down. Study up on these, so you'll be better prepared to rebut the ingnorami.

Drop me a line and let me know how it all works out for you, OK?

Is that your only metric for sorting what is so from what is not?

If not, would you care to share them with us?

Thanks!

Probably the best treatment of these very typical RWA fever dreams was given by R. Crumb, c. 1993:

(Relax- folks... this is SATIRE- pointed as hell, but still SATIRE)

The man's mind amazes me!

Yes, they will!

If ever there was a more obvious example of tyranny this is it- the so-called "Pitchfork Moment" to which GG referred to not so long ago.

See- all you goddamn librul commie-pinkos who would have taken away the guns of true-blue Mer'cun patriots were WRONG!

WRONG WRONG WRONG!

Thank goodness for the NRA and the 2nd Amendment!

Where do I sign up?

Thanks, Rebecca, for pissing off all the right people!

Thanks, Salon readers, for (mostly) ignoring the trolls. What a strident, foolish, and utterly un-imaginative bunch. Big surprise.

Kind of reminds me of the scene in "The Practice" when the loan-shark hires a big fat goon to gut-punch poor Jimmy in an alley. His parting shot, "I've been called lots of things, but 'original' is not one of them."

Sarah Palin, Female Impersonator.

Sorry- couldn't resist, with the mentions of Dan Quayle and all...

Q. What do Marilyn Quayle and SCOTUS nominee Ginsburg have in common?

A. They both like to blow a little dope once in a while.

Keep it up, people. The shit I've seen posted here today deserves no response. Expect them to get even more strident as we continue to ignore them. Fun!!

Front Side:

"Monica Lewinsky has more president in her than Sarah Palin"

Back Side:

Vote Irish! Vote O'Bama!

Made my day.

You're a better man than I. I am afraid to look at my 401K. At least I've got almost 20 years to retirement... bleh.

Anyway, apropos of the GOP being rattled by Pelosi the Wicked- I think it's funny as hell that (as someone elsewhere put it)

"And funnier yet, that old queen Barney Frank told the GOP to suck it up and man up. That if her speech caused them to avoid doing what was best for the country they are a bunch of pansies and shouldn't be in the House to begin with."

That made my day!! Go Barney!

...is what I've heard 'em say

They used to heed the words you said,

But that was Yesterday

Gold will turn to Grey,

Youth will fade away.

They'll never care about you

"McCain is losing it. I am actually allowing myself to believe that he may be on the verge of some sort of emotional breakdown or in the early stages of dementia."

Seems to me that one must have first HAD it before they can lose it, no?

Geez, Louise!

Is THAT the best you can do? We've all taken Psych-101 here, and know what projection is.

BETTER TROLLS, PLEASE!
