Wingnuts melt down over Specter switch

Losing support often brings out the worst in the Republican Right.

They cannot handle it.

You might feel reluctant to poke fun at them - until you consider the way they acted back when they used to actually win elections. The dickheads reap what they sow.

Who's laughing now?

Losing brings out not just the Republican Right's lack of sportsmanship, but also its bigotry and irrationality.

Here's what one Republican commenter said on a right-wing blog regarding Arlen Specter's party switch:

"I say good riddance!! This guy has always been a Jew in a cowboy hat. The liberal Jew (meaning, no longer believes in God) comes through all the way yet he wears this silly all American 'face' that fakes, humility, fakes to be just a commoner, and fakes that he is a Senator because he is trying to preserve our liberty. GOOD BYE YOU TRAITOR!!!! AT LEAST BE AN ORTHODOX JEW WITH PRINCIPLES!"

Those are that commenter's words (including the part in parentheses), not mine.

Worse, they posted that under an entry that had nothing whatsoever to do with Specter. They have such a complete lack of self-control over losing political support that they can't even take enough care to see if they're posting under the right entry!

Well, folks, you've just seen the future of what was America's ruling party for most of the past 28 years. Talk about throwing this all away.

Not like this kind of irrationality is completely new for them. In 2006, the old Conservative Fool Of The Day blog noted how inane the rightist brain trust was getting when they sensed looming electoral losses. This blog referred to a right-wing Internet commenter who complained:

"What's funny is DemoRATS support and encourage Men fucking each other in the asshole.

"But heaven forbid a conservative fuck his wife with a hard dick

"DemoRATS are just little penis envy losers"

One wonders how the wingnuts manage to keep posting online. You'd think all the spittle would have shorted out their computers by now.
