A Day In The Life Of The Irrational Right

Yes, most of the reports I get for posts are from The Washington Independent and ThinkProgress.org. Sometimes they overlap, but not often, and the news is VERY current, usually within 5 hours, sometimes within 15 minutes. The shenanigans of Christofascists, Right Wing politicians and the "Republican-friendly" media are mostly scary, but there are days when, put together, they show a bunch of clowns ineptly using fear and hatred - sometimes to no avail and oftentimes to their own embarrassment. Today was one of those days.

Media Matters reports that in the month before the election, Fox News pundit Dick Morris “repeatedly used his columns and Fox News appearances to promote and raise money for the National Republican Trust PAC without disclosing that the organization has paid $24,000 to a company apparently connected to Morris, according to FEC filings.”

Hasn't Morris ever heard of "paper trails?" With "accountability" in the news you'd think that he'd learn from all the Republican mistakes. Of course, he's attached to Fox News, so that should tell us something. Bush's staunchest supporters are folding too:

(from wikipedia)

Freedom's Watch is supportive of the Bush administration's positions in the War on Terror and of Republican Congressional candidates. The group is run and supported, in part, by several former officials of the Bush administration. The organization states that its goal is "educating individuals about and advancing public policies that protect America’s interests at home and abroad, foster economic prosperity, and strengthen families."

It must have been the "fostering economic prosperity" that did them in. Were they part of Bush's 27% approval rating? I don't think anyone in the country can fully understand it (after Wall Street's meltdown, it should have been lower). Crawling out of the woodwork, single-wides, pulpits and Colorado Springs is sneaky and underhanded and makes the Republican electorate look, well, a bit seedy. Speaking of seedy: since the election, some people from the woodwork and single-wides are stock-piling guns before Barack Obama takes office:

One vendor with Liberty Firearms was wearing a button with Obama’s name crossed out and warned a couple, “Get ready for the Obamanation.” He told us that he was actually having trouble restocking and ordering new wares because suppliers were canceling orders and getting ready to dramatically increase prices to take advantage of the hype, as they did in 1994. The man selling the “NObama” shirts said that his business was also way up. “People are afraid,” he said.

Actually they really do need those AK-47s to shoot ducks.

Jusgt a thought.
