Olbermann: Is she a) dumb, b) crazy or c) politically brilliant?
Hayes: This sounds like someone who gets the entirety of their politics for Rush Limbaugh and Townhall.com. (She is) one of these people who exists solely in this really intense, ideologically extreme, fervent, sheltered, inbred, sub-culture of real hard right-wingery!
...
Like a stew, the Republican party is being boiled off, and reduced, and reduced...(She's) like the demiglas of wing-nuttia!
I think Hayes may have more than a bit of a point.
After decades of the rational republicans being essentially run out of the party on rail - with the exception of the Maine delegation and Arlen Specter - all the we have left are the super-wingnuts like Bachmann, Palin, Michael (Government Never Made a Job) Steele, Ted (It's a Series of Tube!) Stevens, and Eric Cantors left.
This isn't just a mere matter of a honest difference of opinion. It's worse than flat-out willful ignorance and disinformation - some of these people are completely off their nut.
And after getting whomped in two elections in a row - they're just getting worse, not better.
You've got Rick (Man-on-Dog) Santorum saying that the Qu'ran is written in "Islamic" instead of Arabic. That's like saying the King James Bible is written in Anglican, rather than the King's English.
Or this example from Hardball with J.D. Hayworth (via The Young Turks) arguing that the economic meltdown is all the fault of Chuck Schumer and Goerge Soros!
Matthews: Would you like 8 more years of the same policies?
Hayworth: I'd like lower taxes and a strong economy, yes.
Matthews: But that's not what we had. We have a mess.
Hayworth: Well, that's the fault of Chuck Schumer...(incoherrent) George Soros manipulating the currency...(incoherrent babble)... Indy mack...(blah blah blah)
Matthews: You can talk fast, but I don't know what you're talking about... George Soros?
Ford: This is why Barack Obama won.
Uyger: That clip was critical, because he can't answer the question. It's like you're so dense you can't understand simple evidence and facts. (Indy Mac amd Schumer) was a pimple on the elephants ass. Your Elephant's Ass. This republican party is absolutely, positively intellectually bankrupt. They got nothing left in the tank. They're like an old witch Doctor - every answer is "leaches". Got a problem - get a leach. We'll suck those tax cuts right out of you.
The Republican Party is circling the drain, and all they seem to be able to do - turn into the spin and go down faster
But what we have to realize is that these people are all just a slice of a portion of America that is slowly losing it's collective mind. Their embracing of Joe the-Unlicenced-tax-dodging-incurious Plumber/Pundit is not an aberration - it's their destiny because they see themselves reflected in Joe's dull dead-behind the frontal-lobe eyes. Bachmann stays in Office because, if she's anything, she is Joe Duh Plumber in a pantsuit.
It's not just the elected leaders, the entire party has become hijacked by nothing but the Dittoheads and Palinites who still believe - despite all fact and common sense that Obama is a "Socialist Muslim" who Palled Around with Terrorists, or it's people who believe and agree with the rants of the Knoxville Liberal-Are-Evil Gunman - like this recent post I received from a alleged "Paster" on my own personal blog after I brought up Domestic Terrorist Eric Rudolph the Olympic Park Bomber.
Don't tell me about Eric Rudolph. At least he stopped the babykilling abortionist from murdering any more children. What have you done to stopped these babies from being murdered?
How many straight children have been molested and murdered by homosexuals like you? A lot. How many Christians have been assaulted by homosexuals like you because you didn't like the way they voted? A lot. How many Christian churches have been burned down by homosexuals like you because you disagree with the Holy Bible? A lot. Matthew Shepard is in eternal hell fire now and will never get out.
Whatever you think, you will not be able to change God's Word and will one day have to pay the price for not believing what God has written.
Scary no? These guys are deep and serious denial and delusion. It's not a debate, or open exchange of contrasting ideas - this is a dangerous, contagious, pathological social disorder. You can't argue people out of this, they have to slowly, painfully come back to reality on their own. Some never will. The sooner we come to realize that, the better.
In the meantime, at this rate and direction the Republican Party is doomed.
Couldn't happen to a better bunch of nutballs.

You think you have every answer ready
You hear the news, but you just refuse to believe
What it means
You'll never see it
'till your World Comes Tumbling Down
You'll never know it
'till your Nose is shoved right to the ground
You'll never hear it
From the Song "Tumbling Down" by Me!
