Dee Dee Dee Dee Dee Dee Dee...

Collected from the Red State chuckle patch:

Sen. Barack Obama is about to deliver a major speech in response to the controversy surrounding the recent revelations of the teachings of his church's pastor, Rev. Jeremiah Wright. While the press, which has largely ignored the entire controversy--

Stop the tape! Rewind!

While the press, which has largely ignored the entire controversy--

Wow!

Red State: just because they're crazy, that doesn't mean they aren't also incredibly stupid.

Crazy stupid. Sort of nicely sums up the rightwing generally.

WTF? The press has largely ingored it? What planet do those people live on? It's been on the news channels 24/7 ever since Friday.

And now it's back stronger than ever after Obama's speech...

[Tom Hilton]

That must be the same press that totally ignored Whitewater, Monica Lewinsky, and the MoveOn 'betray us' ad. How come the press never pays attention to stuff like that?

[madamab]

An alternate universe indeed...

I think they just have this stuff on macros in their computers now. They no longer write, they just assemble the relevant catchphrases and throw in a few extra nouns and verbs as needed.

I have a really bad habit of reading Redstate every couple days to get my batshit insane fix. They haven't failed me yet. They really do live in a different universe than the rest of us. They don't seem very happy though. If I was going to live in my own world, I'd make it place that I liked.

Well, you're the one reading them. So you, too, thrive on irritation to some degree.

That's what makes them tick over there, you know. Irritation. Like how an oyster can take a grain of sand (or, say, bullshit) and after a few thousand tidal cycles, produce a grand pearl.

(N.B.: I am one of the many, the proud, the sane people, who had my registration at Redstate "blammed" lo these many moons ago. Your mileage may vary.)

In 2001. the Falwel told us that 9-11 was the fault of gays and abortion and the fact that we allowed it. The sentiment was repeated with Katerina. Look, just because New Yorkers were damned as were New Orleans folk, does not mean we were not damned! We were ALL judged by the judgement ye have rendered.

Speaking of rendering, how's the fire you SOB?

[merlallen]

They got him mixed up with all of the fright wing preachers who say worse things that the press ignores.
Simple minded mistake, that's all.

I wondfer what the guys at Red State think about the man who said this?

If we shall suppose that American slavery is one of those offenses which, in the providence of God, must needs come, but which, having continued through His appointed time, He now wills to remove, and that He gives to both North and South this terrible war as the woe due to those by whom the offense came, shall we discern therein any departure from those divine attributes which the believers in a living God always ascribe to Him? Fondly do we hope, fervently do we pray, that this mighty scourge of war may speedily pass away. Yet, if God wills that it continue until all the wealth piled by the bondsman's two hundred and fifty years of unrequited toil shall be sunk, and until every drop of blood drawn with the lash shall be paid by another drawn with the sword, as was said three thousand years ago, so still it must be said "the judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether."

[spencer]

You have to understand that for these people, the meanings of standard English words and phrases are completely dependent on the political views of the subject of the discussion. For example, in this case, "ignored the entire controversy" means "so far failed to use the ginned-up pseudo-controversy to drive Obama from the presidential race and into hiding in a remote cave in Nova Scotia."

I should have written my dissertation on the evolution of wingnut-ese.

I envision a whole new line of neo-con books being sold by Regnery:

"Mo-om! I need an adjective, a Democratic candidate, a synonym for liberal, and an adverb!"

It looks like you're trying to write a Right-Wing Rant. Would you like some help?

[Jemand von Niemand]

Red State: Just because they're incredibly, ineffably stupid, doesn't mean that they aren't also batshit, incomprehensible-crazy.
