Wingnuts are almost beyond parody...

but at least for now, not quite. I am afraid for that puppy though. Maybe he/she can wear a flag pin on the collar? Yellow ribbon sticker?

Yes they're pathetic idiots

the unfortunate thing is it's the M.S.M that seems to be extremely slow in catching on for in report after report their "moral outrage" and "patriotic ferver" are reported as if they are held as standards by all of America rather than just the FRight Wing war-mongers.

The nice thing is unlike a two years ago, the nation by and large reacts mostly with disgust to current situations this cartoon mocks. I think the most common feeling among everyday Americans regarding the betrayus move-on ad was that these Republithug loons were able to hi-jack Gov't for a day and get a resolution passed condemning it.

Now if we could only make the Dems. in congress realize that they have lost much of their power, and the reality is Americans are listening as much if not more to the other side, and every time the Republithugs win one of these games, the Dems pay big time, because it makes Americans think the Dems must be the same.

Michele Malkin, Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Bill O'Rielly, Niel Bortz, Michael Weiner Savage, Ann Coulter, Glenn Beck, and other scum of the earth:

Have you no sense of decency ..., at long last? Have you left no sense of decency?

The only thing that's missing ...

... is when it's discovered that the toddler said "present" and not "president" but the RW bloggers don't bother to apologize or correct themselves, but instead started attacking those who had defended the child.

P.S. Loved the bit about "nap time" being code for a sleeper cell.

barking up the wrong tree

No flag pins on the collar for that pup--he should proudly wear a button I picked up at the 2004 RNC in NYC for Fightin' Fidos everywhere: "I Pee On Bushes." Let's all lift a leg in solidarity...

oops, kinda

In the post below, I of course meant at the RNC protest march, not the convention itself. But now that I think of it: maybe I could have bought a button suggesting golden showers in that hall of the real party of "perverts" and "pansies."

The Accelerating Right-Wing Echo Chamber

I remember just a couple of years ago when Coulter attacked the 9/11 widows, and grieving moms who had lost their kids to the Iraq Occupation, and then played the victim by saying "the left" always uses supposedly unassailable victims as its spokespeople. You know, actual people whose lives are truly affected by this, and who could be helped by this program. Coulter, playing the martyr, claimed it was unfair that real people were used to humanize these problems, at the same time personally attacking the people involved, completely ad hominem, with no discussion of the problems.

It used to take months for fringe ideas like Coulter's to diffuse themselves into the right wingosphere in general. At this point, however, the permeable membrane has become so porous that on Real Time, Tucker Carlson, one of the most reasonable people in that universe, was essentially espousing the same arguments that Coulter and Malkin used just a week ago on this topic. "How dare the left put a human face on the abstract problems of millions of statistical little kids, simply by making us look at the problems of one non-statistical little kid?" I say, since their fringe ideas are rapidly adopted by the right-wing mainstream, every time Coulter or Malkin makes news, they should be referred to as "Official Spokesmen of the Republican Party."

Great... now a toddler is a terroristic threat against America.

Watch out for the play-doh, boys... it might be plastic explosives!!

Stupid hicks...

Almost perfect

The only place it fell short is that the TV talking head/blogger should have looked like uber-nutcase Michelle Malkin (instead of a generic character from a John Waters movie).
