Mini-Carnival of the Wingnuts on World O Crap


Don't miss the theological threepio at World O'Crap today, including this quote from Tamara Wilhite trying to out-Malkin dear Michelle:


As was noted by one of the commenters on WOC, it's kinda creepy that she uses the term "interred" instead of "interned." Ms. Wilhite's strategy is obviously to get attention, à la Malkin and Coulter, but as WOC snorts, "she doesn't have the hair or the legs" to be the next nutjob wankababe.

Afterwards, there's a delicious little ramble through the mind of a Protestant dingbat who presumes to not only judge the filthy soul of John Kerry against that of the merely "flawed" Bush, but to pronounce (in his infinite, Pope-like wisdom) that John Kerry is extending his sins by daring to take Communion. Wank, wank, wank.

Then there's Frank Gaffney. WOC quotes him:

Using innuendo and a steady stream of (often recycled) press leaks, the names and reputations of a number of people — including several who are senior officials in the United States government at the moment — have been sullied.

There is no need to repeat their names here.

Gaffney's talking about the investigation of Pentagon neo-conservatives Douglas Feith, Paul Wolfowitz, Richard Perle et al., and members of Vice-President Cheney's office who may be involved in some very serious kinds of espionage.

Today [Gaffney continues], anti-Semitic witch-hunts can be dressed up as ideological conflicts between the Bush Administration's so-called "hardliners" and "moderates." The former are increasingly caricatured as "neo-conservatives." For many who use this ill-defined term, though, it serves as an unmistakable, pejorative code word for "Jews."

"Funny," WOC says, "Dick Cheney doesn't look Jewish." Never mind that many neo-conservatives use the term for themselves, it's pejorative. Trust me.

If the conduct of hostile bureaucrats and Democratic partisans, reprehensible as it is, can at least be easily understood, the behavior of the FBI is less comprehensible. It would be one thing if law enforcement were filing charges and presenting compelling evidence of wrongdoing — and clarity as to who engaged in it.

Oh, I see now. Prosecuting a spy ring is comprehensible, but investigating possible spy rings prior to filing charges against them is a sinister plot by hostile bureaucrats at the FBI.

Hyprocrisy, thy name is Wingnut. For them it was not only a perfectly legit but saintly cause to spend 70 million taxpayer dollars and provide the press with constant leaks and "innuendo" (read: stenographic dictation) regarding the terrifying, life-threatening, Republic-endangering horrors they were uncovering in Clinton's ancient land deal and sexual adventures. But to let anyone in the press know that there is a current ongoing investigation into ESPIONAGE, the actual compromise of national security is ... wait for it ... "anti-Semitic."

Because, you know, Robert Novak, the columnist who outed that CIA agent, is Jewish.

...uh....well...

He's actually Catholic now, but, hey, everybody knows he was BORN Jewish. So that's why he's a material witness being persecuted in this horrible investigation Democratic plot within the FBI.
