Wingnuts long for a nuclear holocaust

by Amanda Marcotte
So this video has been making the rounds, and my initial urge was to bucket this kind of rhetoric into same right wing tendency to allow their overactive, violent, hypermasculinity-worshiping imaginations to get the better of them. Which it totally is in no small part. They ache for war because of the drama, which makes them feel alive and important. It’s not a coincidence that there’s a huge market on the right for 9/11 memorabilia, because the day was experienced mostly as high drama, with the tragedy of it only slightly mitigating the wingnut ...

Craziest Conservative of the Day: Michael Scheuer
The Reaction —
By Michael J.W. Stickings Maybe you read about it at C&L, maybe you heard about last night on The Daily Show. Here's what Michael Scheuer told Glenn Beck, crazy meets crazy, on Tuesday (video below): The only chance we have as a country right now is for Osama bin Laden to deploy and detonate a major weapon in the United States. Because it's going to take a grass-roots, bottom-up pressure. Because these politicians prize their office, prize the praise of the media and the Europeans. It's an absurd situation again. Only Osama can execute an attack which ...
Are Glenn Beck and His Guest Terrorists?
News Hounds —
Inquiring minds want to know. Yesterday, Glenn Beck interviewed former CIA analyst Michael Scheuer. In response to Beck’s question of whether government officials will “do the right thing,” Scheuer said no because (drum roll please) “the only chance we have as a country right now is for Osama bin Laden to deploy and detonate a major weapon in the United States.” Scheuer (who has been critical of past administrations’ policy towards Israel and the Islamic world) added, ”It’s gonna take a grassroots, bottom-up pressure because these politicians prize their offices, prize the praise of the media, and the Europeans. It's an absurd situation again, only Osama can ...
Samson Complex: Likud Loons Want Bibi To Tell US To Drop Dead
TPMCafe —
Say what you will about Prime Minister Netanyahu. But he understands his options are limited in dealing with President Obama because the United States provides the money and weaponry that keeps Israel afloat. He knows that it is the bank that holds the mortgage that ultimately owns the house.
So he's conflicted. He does not want to defy the United States because, not being insane, he understands that the United States is in charge. So he's torn and some say even losing it in the face of US pressure.
Not so his supporters. They think he should just tell America to go to hell. To hell with the aid. To hell with American support. To hell with everything but ...
Are We Now Two Nations That Loathe Each Other?
TPMCafe —
As recently as 9/11/01 (and for a long time after) Blue America and Red America were united. Not in support of a particular policy. But in grief for what had been done to our country and in our love for it and hatred for the monsters who attacked us. .
Less than a year after the stolen election of 2000, some of the most fervent Democrats I know, (and the angriest about Florida, including myself, flew the flag daily, held back on criticism of the President and hoped for his success.
This was much like 1963 when most Americans (not all) were devastated by JFK's assassination and like 1981 when the whole country (or most of it) was praying that Reagan would survive ...
