I NEEDED THIS!

I was at Sadly, No! reading a post about the internecine warfare, AKA Hillary vs. Obama, among the liberals in Blog World and I became depressed again at the level of discourse by some of the people who support Hillary over Obama. On one thread I participated in, several of the commenters seemed to argue just like wingnuts and we've seen that the bloggers themselves can also do so. Some of the commenters may be part of Fats Limbaugh "Operation Chaos" but it's clear that neither Jeralyn nor Larry Johnson have gone to the Darkside. That does leave the puzzle of how to account for their apparent monomania and I guess the answer is that any one of us can fall into it, given the right circumstances.

Humor is a nice antidote to my dismay at the way some Hillary supporters have been acting and Sadly, No! came though again by finding this gem from Accuracy in Media:

Obama and the Drive for Slavery Reparations
AIM Report
April 21, 2008

Barack Obama is the most radical candidate ever to stand at the precipice of acquiring his party’s presidential nomination and the American presidency. It is apparent that he is a member of an international socialist movement which hopes to use the United Nations as a vehicle to shake down U.S. taxpayers for trillions of dollars in slavery reparations.

This magnificent piece of insanity helps me realize that Larry and Jeralyn aren't really so bad after all.
