Guess Who’s a Neo-Confederate
Faux News Tea-Bagger Extremist?

“I look at the numbers and I am worried. I am worried about this government committing itself to so many entitlement programs and committing itself to such a level of taxation to support those entitlement programs . . .”
— Chris Matthews

“This just in: Chris Matthews is a racist and should be investigated by the Secret Service.”
— Ace of Spades

Weird things are happening everywhere now. Michelle Malkin notes Robert Gibbs’ counterfactual spin on Scott Brown’s election: “Gibbs asserted with a straight face that the same kind of ‘anger‘ that brought Obama into office also buoyed Brown’s candidacy.”

What We Can Expect Next: Charles Johnson starts a vicious flame-war with Andrew Sullivan over which of them deserves the most credit for Scott Brown’s election.

    Um, yeah.
    He’s absolutely right. Of course, the little Vietnamese street-walker(AKA THE BOSS) and Teabagging freaks will never admit this because it doesn’t play into their delusional narrative.Time will tell. Keep over-reaching boys. You’re only helping me out…

    Gee, what happened to the “tinkling feeling” creeping up on Chris Matthews leg? During the election Matthews was gushing over the social programs Obama proposed. The day Matthews worries about government spending and entitlement programs is the day I worry about the the last days!

    I can’t help but wonder at the unfiltered vitriol, and reckless hate spewed from the hard left at Scott Brown, hasn’t been seen since…um…the way they talked about “W.”

    Yet Brown, like Bush are closer to the democrat position on most issues than to the views of ordinary Americans. What gives?

    By all accounts I’ve read, a quick check of Browns voting record will confirm that he’s a little to the left of Olympia Snowe.

    While that may be the best they can do in deep blue Mass….it also serves to illustrate the deep cultural divide between various regions of the country.

    I wonder what “revolution” will look like in The South?

    Brown’s election? Clearly Andrew Sullivan’s fault. He is a lefty wingnut you know. The only sane one is me. I am for sanity and geometric logic.

    But I was denied access last night to the Brown victory celebration where I could have pressed up in the crowd against the intoxicating Pam Geller and just riden the surging wave of humanity in that room. The lost opportunity has made me even more bitter. All I got was an open tub of pudding that some guy leaving the party handed to me for “dipping”. It still had some good pudding left so I ate it.

    Here is a letter that I, oh excuse me, one of my readers sent me:

    My teabagger parents are gloating today about the Brown victory. To them, this whole politics game is like football: they simply cheer for the red team to beat the blue team. Period. They don’t know or care how Brown or any of their other preferred candidates are going to solve the real crises my generation will face.

    And for all their slogans and smugness and phony outrage, the teabaggers are on the wrong side of the future in every way I can imagine: Entitlements will have to be cut. The eligibility age for Medicare and Social Security will be raised, benefits will be means-tested, and Medicare will eventually be rationed. Everyone in my generation knows this. We accept it. But we want those programs to stick around in at least a minimal, bare-bones form. The teabaggers just mindlessly shout “Don’t cut my Medicare!” But they don’t mind bankrupting it for my generation.

    Taxes will be raised. This is a fact. But teabaggers keep demanding tax cuts, insisting that cuts increase revenues, a claim that can’t even be called discredited because it was never credible in the first place. Policy-smart conservatives know it’s hooey, but teabaggers love it because it’s a convenient, feel-good talking point, truth be damned.

    The rest of our lives will be filled with economic stagnation and profound personal insecurity.

    And the Brown victory must be CJ’s fault. It certainly cannot me mine. However, I would have liked some pudding.
