The Rabid Right

Status post May 3 2011:
On Limbaugh: He is a fear-mongering, hate-spewing, lie-propagating manipulative opportunist, who preys upon his faithful devotees by slyly making insinuations, distorting facts, and antagonizing deeply held convictions about "American freedom" and "Christian values". He is a merchant of bigotry, a champion of untruth, a hate-pimp.

FLS/Justin R, May 3, 2100:

Sleepy Time Thought: As the anger from the Right spirals out of control at Obama’s success, it becomes all too clear that there is no line too far to cross, no lie too extreme to utter, no depth too low to sink to. Compromise can only be reached with the rational and the Right has gone mad with fear and loathing. Liberals MUST present a united front against the insanity or we’ll be lost in the incoherent rage.
 My response:
 
Great. We have a two-party system, and one party is now rabid. Furthermore, we have no system in place to medically evaluate, diagnose, and treat this condition, because that would be infringing upon the "freedoms" of this party's members. We used to have a more effective system, the Fairness Doctrine was part of that, but it's elimination has led to this. How are you supposed to 51-50 such a large segment of the GOP? How much further will this go before it is so clear that they are a danger to themselves or others that we, as the collective mental health team/conscientious electorate, will have the authority to force them to get the help they need?


From Cameron B:
The fairness doctorine was only there so as to allow the flat earthers time to convince round earthers they were wrong.
 
Me:
Well, Cameron, I suppose I'll just have to put the finishing touches on my flat-earth mindset equivalency calibration wave-equation-scope-powered super death-ray machine, because science always wins the future.
