It's not politics, it's bonkers

Michael Wolff weighs in on Republicans and the Tea Parties:

Excerpt:

Republicans, once the party of boring sobriety and solidness, are now the party of the kooky, the cracked, the unhinged. Republicans are not conservative in the least. Rather, they act out in the most deranged and dramatic ways.

I'm talking about people on the far left, like you know Communist and socialists. They still exist( I think). They can quote Marx and have probably read all the 19th century European philosophers. There used to be tens of thousands of them at protests back in the 70s and 80s. I used to kind of identify with them until I realized they were just irritating. Like the teabaggers. But they were a lot smarter than the teabaggers. Now you have the valley-girl left doing protests:)

You are quiet the politician Van, the artful dodger. Here is a mirror image of the left. You see people with ball gags in their mouths at almost every tea party rally. Unfortunately, or in my opinion fortunately, I cannot post the pictures of the "women" who protested the war toplessly. And there are some great photos from the protest below with tables full of communist literature for the future comrades.

Great pic. But this a gay-rights protest, which is not really leftist. A lot of gay people are conservatives, at least in the classical since (fiscal policy and such). As far as I can tell the spelling is correct on all these posters. As for Communists, they hate liberals as much as you do. And as for spelling on posters, I'll admit it's not just the teabaggers. Still it's fun to mock it. And I'm not the worlds best speller. But to misspell very simple words doesn't really speak well for the sign makers.

Besides, the far right has intellectuals too. Now you're just being silly.

Hey I never denied that there is a kooky left. They've been having all kinds of protests since the 60s and conservatives have regularly mocked them. You guys are the ones who think that the Tea Parties are the greatest thing evah. I'm just pointing out how kooky they are and mocking them. The left can get 50,000 to 100,000 people at a protest in DC and all it merits is coverage on CSPAN and a single column in the Washington Post. The Tea Parties get a couple of hundred people in Hicktown and it gets minute by minute coverage on Fox and represents the "voice of the people".

Well, there are tens of millions of tea-baggin' whackjobs, and not near as many Al Qaeda. But you could add the IQs together of 100 tea-baggers and bin Laden's IQ would still be higher.

So, while their numbers are far greater, they are very lazy and ineffectual, like lemmings. Like lemmings, they are far more likely to kill or maim themselves rather than others.

Hey, noboby ever got killed reading cut and paste gibberish that some moron billygoat milker googled together on the internets, as far as I know.

Mental illness and stupidity are what are really behind the liberal/progressive phenomenon.

Angry, scared morons.... I really like the Israeli flag being equal to the swastika, that is nice touch.

As noted above, this is not a liberal/progressive opinion. But the right has long treated liberals as if they're the far left. so whats fair for the goose is fair for the gander( don't you love my quaint old-timey sayings).
