Signs & Portents

Mitt is out, but the Right still doesn't trust McCain (and the Hard Right despises him), Democrats are still hugely outpolling and outvoting Republicans, once-reliable conservative voices are predicting a 1980-style "sea change" Blue Tide in November, and the Howler Monkeys are reduced to whistling past the graveyard in hoping Hillary gets the nomination.

Wingnutosphere Seizes Moral High Ground...

...by attacking a 12 year old boy and his family. And, of course, as per usual, they are dead wrong.

UPDATE: Shockingly enough, Rush Limbaugh has joined in on dog-piling this boy who only recently emerged from a coma. It's a real profile in courage moment for the wingers. Plus, Rush managed to work in his slander against soldiers, too. What a guy!

UPDATE 2: First the car wreck, then the coma, now stalked by a rabid Michelle Malkin. Hasn't this kid suffered enough?

UPDATE 3: Apparently not; now they're going after his GRANDFATHER, too!

ALERT JOHN CORNYN!

Rush Limbaugh hates the troops! Quick! Someone get to the floor of the Senate with a meaningless paper fig leaf of fake indignation!

UPDATE: The conspiracy spreads! Now FOXNews hates the troops, too! We're going to need more resolutions.

UPDATE 2: ZOMG! The American Conservative is in on it, too!

Conservative Hypocrisy Watch, Part IV

I'm not sure which is worse; a bloated, drug-addled loudmouth like Rush Limbaugh mocking the disabled, or all the mealy-mouthed Right-Wingers offering lame "yes, but..." justifications for such behavior. Republicans issuing calls for "civility" in politics is like Al Capone offering lessons on crime prevention. If there is any divine justice in the world, we will all get to enjoy the look on Rush's mush on November 7 when the GOP goes down in flames.
