Anyway, that's not the point of my post, Jindal is a joke, and he'll be delivered like a joke, my real hope is in Sarah Palin, now THERE'S a nut job to lead the party. Honestly Jindal is just your average empty suit with some crazy habits, she's just batshit. Anyway, what's my point of this post? Madness is pretty freaking awesome.
See, the Internet is one of the best 'people watching' tools ever, I mean really it has it all. Best of all have been Republicans for the past few months. So today, let's go on a tour, a madness safari, a trek through crazy town. Let's start with a rather bland one at first, a cluster of fringes just wanking off basically:
http://www.resistnet.com/
It's basically what it sounds like. Typical "Obama gonna take your money and guns!" and reactions, cept this time they're hocking a book too. Pretty dull for a seasoned insanity hunter, but a nice starting point for a tour.
Next up a larger site, a discussion site set up in BBS format. This is one of the keystones of the conservative talker sites, chances are most people on the Right at least know someone who posts here. Free Republic.

Let's go in depth with this, because this is a vast tapestry of madness. First up, the home page.
What are the two major tags we see?
Call to action: Regional FReeper Conventions!
Call to action: Tea Party USA!
.....Welp there ya go. Ok, conventions are pretty run of the mill, let's see what this Tea Party stuff is, I mean, maybe they want some tea at their meet ups? How bad could this be?http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2193393/posts

Upstate Young Republicans host Greenville Tea Party.
Greenville, SC, 23 February 2009 – The Upstate Young Republicans will host the Greenville Tea Party on the banks of the Reedy River and on the walking bridge just west of Main Street. Parking is available at the River Place garage. The demonstration is scheduled for Friday, February 27th at 6:00 PM and will last approximately one hour. The event is coinciding with numerous other Tea Parties being held nationwide in response to CNBC reporter Rick Santelli’s call for a Chicago Tea Party to protest the Obama Administration’s mortgage bailout plan. The event is open to people of all ages and attendees are encouraged to bring non-offensive homemade signs.

If you think the rant by CNBC’s Rick Santelli hasn’t tapped into a reservoir of resentment across this nation, get this:
Since it went online last Thursday, the clip has been viewed more than 1,800,000 times on CNBC.com. It’s also been viewed more than 700,000 times on YouTube.com. (These numbers are growing so rapidly that they’ll be out of date by the time you read this.)

CNBC's Rick Santelli Ponders "Veiled Threat" Against Him After "Chicago Tea Party"

Santelli did not like the remarks by White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs and even pondered if it was a ‘Veiled Threat’ by making a bizarre reference to "not knowing where Mr. Santelli lives, or in what house he lives."
Ok the guy was taking about housing issues, pretty valid comment to say 'yea we can't speak for YOUR area man but...', these people will get that, right?
This is just the latest example of Gibbs being in way over his head, even farther than his boss actually.
Veiled?
That’s not how I heard it.
Tell Scott McClellan Jr and his boss to taking a flying f***** leap.
I just want him to know he has at least one “safe house” available to him in Virgnia, should he find it necessary to “lay low” for a while. I’ll be happy to host him!
It was pretty obvious Gibbs intended to send some of the boys over to pull Santelli’s arms and legs off, but what the heck ~ that’s what you get when you put a Chicago pol’ in charge of the White House.

Michael Steele is, if nothing else, the smartest man in the GOP.
Steele’s getting heat from progressives such as Andrew Sullivan and the operators of the popular pro-Democrat blog Think Progress for remarks he made during his February 23 appearance on Mike Gallagher’s program. The Salem Radio Network star asked Steele if the time had come for Republicans to “…consider some sort of alternative to redefining marriage and maybe in the road, down the road to civil unions. Do you favor civil unions?”
In a shrewd response, Steele said: “No, no no. What would we do that for? What are you, crazy? No. Why would we backslide on a core, founding value of this country? I mean this isn’t something that you just kind of like, ‘Oh well, today I feel, you know, loosey-goosey on marriage.’”
Think Progress accused Steele of hypocrisy, noting that in recent weeks he has suggested the party needs to be open to those who might have differing views on issues such as same-sex marriage and civil unions. What Think Progress doesn’t realize is that Steele is not actually contradicting himself.
===========================================================
Really Steele, how the hell do you sleep at night?
Stay tuned though, there's gonna be a SECOND post coming with some top notch Conservative Blogs, the journey's only just begun kids.
