The right wingers have turned on each other and are eating their own.
Witness the events of the CPAC convention:
Andrew Breitbart and Max Blumenthal got into a big shouting match because Max called Jimmie O’Keefe a racist and then said he didn’t.
One speaker, introducing conservative hero and role model Grover Norquist, made a joke about Joe Stack. Later, congressman Steven King (R (of course) –Iowa), in an unrecorded conversation, said that he empathized with Stack and that people should implode IRS offices. This isn’t really an example of the right eating their own, because I didn’t hear anybody on the right issuing a condemnation or a call for an apology, but it’s a clearly reprehensible position and will hurt them badly with the general, non wing-nutty population.
Ron Paul won a presidential straw poll, with 31% and the crowd booed. Their leading candidate is hated by almost 70% of them. Sarah Palin had less than 10%.
The costumes were ridiculous, especially that OBAMA FAIL WHALE which looked more like Snuffleupagus from Sesame Street. Seriously, if the delegates watch this event on home video, after they get home, and are not embarrassed, they are even shallower than I thought and that is pretty fucking godawful shallow.
But CPAC is a sideshow, not much more relevant than the Teabagger convention which preceded it. The real sign that the right is falling apart was Scott Brown’s vote to allow cloture and a floor vote on Obama’s jobs bill, and the reaction to it in the twittersphere.
Nasty messages galore, calling him a lying RINO and a lot worse. Facebook friends are defriending him at a record pace. Contributors are swearing to never contribute again.
The American right wing’s love affair with Ron Paul is over. The American right wing’s love affair with Sarah Palin is over. The American right wing’s love affair with Scott Brown is over.
It’s over.

I dunno if it’s over, although, of course, I’d love it if the crazies would just stop it and decide we’re all in this together. The possibly related posts linked to a link to a rightwing site with a writer’s bio that includes this: “I am a conservative evangelical Christian. This blog intends to speak up and out for all those, but especially Christians, who are being crushed under the jackboot of oppression.”
When people in the United States really believe that, just because the Democrats won a single election, and/or a black man was elected president they’re not going to stop being paranoid because of internal strife. I don’t think they can. I think they’re down, but not out.
Seriously. How do you deal with people who really believe blatant falsehoods like about Christian oppression, without a shred of proof? I don’t think you can get through to these people. There are obviously mental issues, and I’m not being flippant. It’s made up reality.
People who listen to the Sarah Palins of the world and think she’s actually saying something, could be a great president, and actually cares for them….they’re not entirely connecting with reality either. Do you think there’s any way to get through to these people?
