It’s the Family Values Party! Seriously!

posted by on November 3 at 18:03 PM

Wonkette posted a little round-up of extremely sensitive reactions to Madelyn Dunham’s death from the Free Republic.

They’re all fucking bonkers, obviously:

Seriously, has anyone actually seen this woman in recent years? If Obama has some of his thugs guarding her (and if there is, indeed, a body) I hope they do an autopsy to make sure Granny’s passing was a natural event.

Murdered? It’s not murder when it’s for the chosen one. The dems will blame it on lack of universal health care and get a double bang for the buck. Obama will forgive her racism and find another family member to use and throw under the bus.

But I particularly like this one:

She was swindled into raising someone else’s child. I do not believe that hussein is half white.

Because what, exactly, is the scenario you’re envisioning here, right-wing insane person? That one day, way back when, Obama’s mother was out shopping, and grabbed a box of Frosted Mini-Wheats, and went home to pour herself a bowl, but instead of delicious cereal an all-black baby fell out? And then she said, “Hmm, I have found this all-black baby. What should I do with it? I know, I’ll play a trick on mom!” And then she did!? FOR 47 YEARS? I just don’t know if you’ve thought this theory through, is all.

Lindy, you made my entire pre-election jitters leave me (for the moment) with the odd image of Obama flying out of a cereal box into a bowl of milk.

Yeah, my dad died a few days before Christmas. But damn did we get a lot of sympathy money!...oh, wait, my dad's still dead.

I'd call them retards, but I like retards.

Also from wonkette: hooooly shit, Sarah Palin keeps on delivering all the way until the finish line:

"A black fellow tells Sarah Palin that he is the only minority at her rally and asks how this can be improved upon. Palin replies that she knows what racism is like, because Todd is native Alaskan and, get this, 'We live it.'"

Has your Hell-house experience taught you nothing? It is the party of angry drunken rants and death threats. Don't provoke them. Even when they are claiming that he killed his own grandmother to win sympathy votes; Do not make eye contact, back slowly away.

If the raised-someone-else's child theory came from a Cuckoo, that would really make sense.

It is really, really sad that I am no longer surprised at this. Reminds me of an email forward I got this morning from my evangelical whack-job uncle calling for a national day of prayer and repentance now that our Christian Nation is about to elect a heathen Democrat as president. Of course his state (Michigan) will go firmly for Obama as it went against his beloved GWB both times. I still laugh out loud when I remember the time my brother wished him a happy Kwaanza...

Autopsy to make sure it wasn't murder? Meanwhile, we're still waiting for Palin's medical records to, you know, make sure the baby is hers.

Ya, it's sad that some are letting their unhinged freak flag fly, but it's not everyone. For example, there is a thread over at TPM that discusses the topic:

http://preview.tinyurl.com/6z4agd

Read through the commentary in the Fox story referenced in that thread. If you look from newest to oldest, the "cream (aka asshats)" have really risen to the top, however look old to new and the majority of the commenters offer condolences, and as the unhinged bunch shows up, they are roundly condemned.

Yes it's awful, but I hesitate to say it's a barometer on the entirety of the conservative state of mind. If anything, it sure is a good example to reference when trying to explain how the "extremists" are coloring the perception of the lot.

In fact, I think I'll be using that example in future conversations with the far right father. And I'm going to be so very glad when that (asshattery) as a campaign technique/political promise is condemned for the steamy lump it is.

According to the official biography, Todd Palin's mother is one-quarter Yupik. One quarter. That makes him one-eighth native american. "We live it"? Presumptuous bullshit.

That was completely hilarious.

Nut jobs are great, as long as they have absolutely no power.

The Clintons has people murdered, why not Barack Hussein Osama?

Liberals know they can't win elections on their ideas, so they lie and try to ruin people (like Judge Bork and Sarah Palin), and even kill them.

This is the true face of the Marxist Hussein.

Kiss your freedom goodbye, and expect gulags in two years, unless enough loyal Americans band together with their guns, form a militia, and b ecome this century's George Washington!

Liberalism=Marxism=socialism=DEATH!!!
