2008 News from Wingnut Land

The folks at One News Now have already conceded, and are making lemons out of lemonade. Their spin: At least now Sarah Palin (who’s lately been resorting to strongly implying that Democrats love terrorists) can say what she really thinks about immigration!
According to [Mark] Krikorian [head of the right-wing Center for Immigration Studies], once Sarah Palin is free from the McCain campaign, she will be able to speak freely about the immigration issue. “There’s a real possibility, once Senator McCain is history, that she will likely take a much more hawkish position on immigration,” he adds. “Now maybe that’s just wishful thinking on my part — it’s possible, but I don’t think so.”
Paul’s favorite batshit-crazy Objectivist predicts that big, menacing black men are going to intimidate little old white ladies into voting for Obama.
Readers of WorldNetDaily, meanwhile, are keeping hope alive, predicting McCain will win variously because “the pre-election polls have been grossly biased and distorted,” or “because at the last minute, people realize they can’t trust Obama.” (Twelve percent, however, believe Obama will win “due to massive fraud by Democrats and groups such as ACORN.”)
The Freepers, always good for a laugh, are alternately predicting a huge McCain landslide and predicting that Obama will “easily take the White House,” thus unleashing “treason from within.”
Little Green Footballs blames the media.
And Michelle Malkin is just not making any sense.
Malkin not making sense? Wow, the world is turning upside down today.
I heartily concur with Mark Krikorian, and fervently hope that Palin takes the rest of the GOP down the "Subhuman Mexicans are destroying America" path, as an increasingly tolerate and multiracial America quickly reduces them to sideshow status.
Dear right wingers:
Yes we are all secret Muslims in leage with OBL. After we take the white house we will put pyramids on the white house lawn, then bomb the white house, while we are in it!
Then we will send you all off to re-education camps the way our communist fellow regimes in France, England, Denmark and Japan have done, you know the places where they have communistic national health coverage?
bwahahahahahahhaha
theres actually only been one time she made sense. that was when she said something was fishy bout backwards B lady.
You know, for two fucking years I've been threading through the crowdsourced insinuations of punditry of all stripes.
And today, I took back control of my opinion by voting.
So Michelle Malkin can swallow a dozen dicks lengthwise, and anyone else who wants to disagree with my vote is welcome to do the same.
I'm not clicking on any of those links today.
Perhaps the greatest crime the Blethen family will have to answer for is launching the career of the odious Michelle Malkin.
Thank you for that roundup of wingnuttery.
I'm not going to click on any of those links, because reading that shit makes my blood boil.
Just that little taste was enough for me. Thanks.
Ok, seriously now. They want someone to speak out against illegal immigration from Mexico and the person they're gonna pick is from Alaska?
The comments kill me...
"One final note, there will be riots regardless of whether obama wins or loses. If he wins, the celebrations will be similar to the riot when a sports team wins a championship. If he loses, stay away from the big cities, particularly the black neighborhoods."
Palin unhinged? Wonderful. She won't have to worry about being marginalized by the media--she's self-marginalizing.
Maddow on Friday had an guest on who completely dismissed the idea of Palin being a contender in 2012, making the case that a losing VP has never managed to get the party's nomination in the next election -- think Lieberman/Edwards.
I'm not sure whether to feel relieved or disappointed.
Boy, are we all going to look stupid tomorrow when President-elect Obama announces Rev. Wright as his new Secretary of State and Al Sharpton as Chief of Staff, just like the kooks have been telling us all along!
@7, my thoughts exactly. I bet Palin, what with her extensive experience fighting the menace of Mexicans swarming into Alaska, has been chomping at the bit to voice hersecure borders, anti-immigration positions.
That's right, Sarah! A strong anti-immigration stance worked so well for Tom Tancredo's presidential aspirations so you run with that.
Forty years in the wilderness.
This is their fate.
BIG PROBLEMS TO SOLVE
WHO GIVES A SHIT ABOUT PALIN - THIS HAS REACHED FIXATION LEVEL
SHE IS NO NO NO NO BODY
ONLY MEDIA FODDER - OH, FORGOT THE STRANGER THRIVES ON THIS SHIT
@10 - the only losing VP candidate I can find who ever won election to the Presidency later is FDR, who was on James Cox's losing 1920 ticket (to Harding/Coolidge). And even he didn't succeed in the next election, but twelve years later. Palin in 2020? Somehow I think not.
It is, however, not unheard-of for the losing VP candidate to later be the LOSING Presidential candidate: Walter Mondale and Bob Dole both hold that great honor. But it's not exactly a crowded room; there are not to many calls for Dan Quayle, Henry Miller, Henry Cabot Lodge, John Bricker, Charles McNary, Frank Knox, Charles Curtis, Charles Fairbanks, Nicholas Butler, nor for John Edwards these days, or Joe Lieberman, Lloyd Bentsen, Geraldine Ferraro, Sargent Shriver, Ed Muskie, Estes Kefauver, John Sparkman, Joseph Robinson, Charles Bryan, John Kern, Henry Davis, or Adlai Stevenson I. Honorable mention should go, though, to Earl Warren, who was the Republican loser with Dewey in 1948, who went on to become one of our greatest Supreme Court justices.
Dole was Ford's VP candidate in '76, and later got the GOP nomination -- but it took him 20 years to do it. By that time, Palin will be (given her family's reproductive habits) a Hockey Great-Great-Grandma.
Which could help her get elected president of the independent Republic of Alaska, maybe. But not of the USA.
Damn, everyone is so angry, yet good to see so much interest in this election. However saying that, being honest and realistic, Sarah Palin is not qualified nor educated enough in politics (domestic or world) to be anywhere near the White House.
Being Mayor of a town population 6k and of a state who's population is 24% of the City of Chicago doesn't deem her "qualified". Her greatest achievement being the natural gas pipeline probably won't see light due to the land it will cross not being secured. The state may generate $38 billion from oil, but that was in place long before she took office. The same with every Alaskan citizen getting $1k each year from oil revenue. Not hard to govern when the population is low and everyone is getting paid!
The closest she should ever come to the White House is doing the tour with her family.
