If you ever wondered how the rest of the world views our wingnuts when they speak on the global stage, you should turn on CNN right now and watch Gadhafi’s rambling and incoherent speech.
More Limited Government Enthusiasts
Here is another wingnut whose outlandish behaviors and beliefs are being provided rhetorical cover by the glibertarians at Reason:
Yeah. This is about limited government. No birtherism or latent racism here. Just keep walking.

You can tell that these are just calm, but passionate, supporters of limited government.

The Palin Generation
Via Crooks and Liars, you just have to watch this segment on MSNBC regarding Obama’s speech:
I wonder when Buckley was working to forge the future of conservatism all those years ago if he had any idea it would one day degenerate into a bizarre patchwork of birthers, young-earthers, gun nuts, shithouse lawyers, and conspiracy theorists, with meth mouth and confederate flags serving as the defining characteristics of the new conservatism.
Stay Classy, Teabaggers
Interesting
A couple of months back, I emailed Radley Balko a link to a youtube video a pastor in the SW had made talking about his run-in with border patrol, and asked him if he knew anything about it. He didn’t, so I let it drop. Here is the video:
Turns out Steven Anderson is a busy guy:
A controversial Tempe pastor who admits he prays for the President’s death got into a heated exchange with a reporter for the Phoenix New Times newspaper Sunday.
Pastor Steven Anderson and Reporter Stephen Lemons got into the argument following Sunday night services outside Anderson’s Faithful Word Baptist Church near 48th Street and Southern.
Lemons and Anderson argued after the New Times’ reporter began questioning the pastor about his other job, installing commercial fire alarms.
“Are you running a church and business at the same place,” asked Lemons.
“I’m not running a church and business at the same place,” responded Anderson. “You are trying to make up a story. You’re a liar.”
“I don’t operate a business here,” continued Anderson. “I store equipment here.”
I wonder how big the Secret Service dossier is for this guy…
Who Is Next?
A lot of you seem to think the wingnuts are going to be emboldened by Jones stepping down, and I find that curious. They aren’t going to feel emboldened by anything- they have already cranked it up to 11. They aren’t going to feel more energized because they have a scalp- that isn’t how they operate. Chriminy, a month into the administration Malkin was blaming Obama for the stock market- when it went back up, she seemed to lose all interest in it.
I think you fail to realize how these guys think. Nothing makes them feel emboldened or empowered- they had all three branches of government for most of the 2000 era, and they were permanent victims of Ted Kennedy. They got everything they wanted but it was the liberals and the media who were causing the setbacks in Iraq. Feeling emboldened because they got a scalp might seem logical and reasonable, but we are not dealing with rational actors. We are dealing with crazy people. Even if Jones did not step down, they would be behaving the same exact way, BECAUSE THEY ARE CRAZY PEOPLE.
Besides, the next week or two, they will all be distracted by something else. Michael Moore’s new movie is coming out. That will be the next feeding frenzy.
Also, Michael Moore is fat.
