BREAKING: Red State, Next Right -- The "Online Conservative Revolution" Will Be Spammed

Just got an email from RedState, because they love us, and we love them:

You signed up for the RedState Army. We need to mobilize tonight.

I also signed up for the Kiss Army, who had a cooler arm-patch.

It is extremely important.

No shit.

As you are probably aware, Americans for Tax Reform is having a debate tomorrow for the candidates for RNC Chairman. Individuals can vote for the best questions to be asked. People have gone into the ATR website to disrupt the process [my emphasis]. Let's take action.

Yes, let's! But what is meant by "disrupt the process"? Well, it means that since this is an online thingy, the Very Serious Red State and Next Right Online Activists immediately found themselves outgunned by the Ron Paul Loonies:

Perhaps not surprisingly, Ron Paul activists have voted up the majority of questions con [sic] the site. Most of these questions deal not with the vital and necessary goal of getting more Republicans who supported Ron Paul involved in the process, but on policy questions like eliminating the Federal Reserve, Austrian economics, the Fair Tax and the 2nd Amendment that the RNC Chairman has absolutely no jurisdiction over.

OMIGOD! But... How exactly is this "disrupting the process"? What the fuck is this, the Olympic Games? It's an open online forum, you get what you get. And how the hell do you accuse someone else of "disrupting the process" of an online poll when you're at the same time sending out blast e-mails telling people how to vote in that same stupid online poll?

Ruffini is pretty hilarious in trying to inform the unwashed masses that no, no, no, this is all about Getting Republicans Elected, not about the Second Amendment! Or the Federal Reserve! But why should someone who cares about such issues ever care about the party being taken over by someone who thinks anyone who cares about such issues is a lunatic? "Getting more Republicans who supported Ron Paul involved in the process" means getting them to not support the things that Ron Paul supports.

Anyway, this sort of nonsense is entertaining in light of the Very Serious Contemplations of Very Serious Conservatives as to Exciting the Conservative Base with Technology. That is all very well, but who the hell are you trying to persuade as to your Cool-Ness? Look, Obama was able to reach out to a constituency that was there. Red State hopes to mobilize gold-bug lunatics, black-helicopter kooks, and gun nuts. This is their base.

Twitter, shmitter. The problem facing "conservatives" is that there is no brand of "conservatism" that is not completely insane.

And that's all she wrote.
