Windows into Madness.

Before I get into the actual point of this blog, let me get one thing done with, Bobby Jindal. First off, you're not allowed to act like some champion of fighting the Stimulus Bill and then take nearly all the money. But hey, why be shocked, it's what Jindal is, it's what he does, he's a phony. He's an Indian boy playing Cajun and saying anything to appeal to who he thinks he needs. Also just as a note, it's kinda gouache to respond to such an average speech as if you're going to suddenly sweep in and take the job from Obama. Hey, if thinking castration is a good way to solve the sex offender problem (they literally splash your junk with acid by the way, there's no scientific thing there, it's just acid dumping) and if keeping an exorcist on your top Rolodex is crazy...oh yea it is...it's very crazy. I mean I wish I could go on about Jindal but there's just nothing left to say, he's a shill, a hack, a phony, and he's way out of his league. Oh yea and his Katrina anecdote was nearly a total and complete lie, but faster bloggers then I have gotten to it already, not much else to add other then...duh.

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.

http://www.freerepublic.com/tag/*/index

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?

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.)

Rantin’ Rick Santelli, one media guy we don’t hate.

CNBC's Rick Santelli Ponders "Veiled Threat" Against Him After "Chicago Tea Party"
ButAsForMe.com ^ | 02/24/2009 | wrrock

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?

To: wrrock

This is just the latest example of Gibbs being in way over his head, even farther than his boss actually.

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.

===========================================================

Yea man, let's not go nuts saying who can marry, maybe those negroes will try to marry your daughter....oh yea...right....

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.

Steele: Down with the hoes.

First, the link, because I swear to god I could not make this up if I tried: http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2009/02/19/rnc-chair-plans-off-the-hook-campaign-tells-critics-to-%E2%80%98stuff-it%E2%80%99/#more-40591

If I could make this crap up I could get a writing deal with SNL or something. You know how in the latest Disney/Nick/Pixar whatever animated movie they have one 'hip hop' type character with a random gold chain clock and a backwards cap? Apparently Steele is that, but for Republicans instead of talking cars or cows. *Insert joke about Republicans producing noxious gas here*

Remember how all those crazy racists said Obama was gonna 'thug out' the White House or something? Remember how he was gonna go Kanye on the country even though he never once acted in that manner? They literally just got a leader who vowed to do a milder version of that crap. It's funny because his plan seems to assume he's The Fresh Prince but in reality he sounds like a tall Carlton. (Don't judge me, Nick At Night is like the only thing that comes on here late night). I mean really: "Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele says his party is going to launch an "off the hook" public relations campaign that will update the GOP’s image by translating it to "urban-suburban hip-hop settings.""

He has no idea what those words in quotes mean, he just heard them at some point when he was flipping channels and decided that he's 'down'. It seems the Republicans literally think 'elect a black man' is like 'the' solution to things because of Obama. Remember how Obama reached out to urban communities by simply relating anecdotes and racial history? That's how you do it. You don't get up on a damn podium and go "We're gonna be off the hook!" and magically black people follow you. I really hope he thinks life is like a rap video where he can get up to a podium and pop the cork on some champagne and yell "WHOOOO" and suddenly black people will come charging into the room dancing, because if he keeps this shtick up he will be the most hilarious figurehead ever.

But alright, feeble attempt to appear 'with it' aside, why do I dislike this guy so much? Well, read this:"Steele described the new multi-platform PR offensive as “avant-garde, technically. It will come to [the] table with things that will surprise everyone — off the hook.” Asked whether that meant cutting-edge tactics, Steele demurred. “I don't do 'cutting-edge,’” he said. “That's what Democrats are doing. We're going beyond cutting-edge.”"

He's a damn phony, that's why I hate him. It's literally like he just opened a "PR for Dummies" book and highlighted buzzwords. In his whole plan the only tangible thing he said was the 'appeal to Urban-Suburb-Hiphopwhatever' thing, aside from that it was all just fluff like that. I have news for him 'reach out to minorities' isn't a 'beyond cutting-edge' thing, it's what every single RNC Head says, ever. That's like page one, paragraph one of the "Goals we will Never Reach" Pamphlet every RNC Head gets. What makes this best though is the sheer context of this.

Remember the "Barack the Magic Negro" stuff? Remember the guy who gave out CDs of that? That was Steele's biggest rival in the race, and that guy is still in good standing with the party. So yea, we have the guy who wants to reach out to urban communities, and also the guy who thinks "Barack the Magic Negro" is a great gift. They really don't grasp that you can't have both at the same time.
