Each week the reactionary right seems to devolve to yet another level of delusion. It is as bizarre as it is disturbing (and, yeah, it’s funny, thanks for the material). We’ve had Lou Dobbs suspending the brow-beating of hispanics long enough to entertain the birthers; Glenn Beck playing the world’s pastiest race-card; and someone let Michelle Malkin out amongst polite company. And this was all just in the last week or so.
But the winner was undoubtedly Nancy Genovese — Glenn Beck fan, Gun Enthusiast, Teabagger, and reenacter of various scenes from the Turner Diaries:
A Long Island mother of three — armed to the teeth with an assault rifle and shotgun — was arrested for scouting out and taking pictures of an Air National Guard base in the Hamptons, authorities said…
Caracappa said Genovese was taking photographs of the perimeter of the base. A search of her car uncovered an arsenal — an XM-15 assault rifle, a shotgun and 500 rounds of ammunition…
Ms. Genovese also maintained a twitter page that certainly would be the envy of Ted Nugent.
So, what will be the new craziness be this week? How can they top themselves?

We haven’t heard much about the whole 2012/Mayans allegedly predicted the end of the world in that year thing.
2012–when Barack HUSSEIN Obama runs for re-election! Coincidence? I THINK NOT!
So.
On Monday, Glenn Beck will argue that Pres. Obama is secretly an ancient Mayan God who will eat our souls to bring about the end of the world, starting with human sacrifice, and only Glenn Beck can stop him.
On Tuesday, Lou Dobbs will follow up with a special report saying, now, *he* doesn’t think Obama is secretly an ancient 2000-year-old Mayan God, but, you know, questions have been raised.
On Tuesday evening, CNN President Jon Klein will politely say “well, you know, we don’t actually have any *evidence,* per se, that Obama is an ancient Mayan God, and maybe we should hold off on throwing around accusations.”
On Wednesday, Lou Dobbs will invite Klein onto his show, whereupon Dobbs will pull out a shotgun, blow Klein’s face off, look directly into a camera, and say “There. THAT’S taken care of.” He will be praised by wingnuts for his manliness.
On Thursday, Rush Limbaugh will say there was a liberal conspiracy to frame Lou Dobbs for murder, and that Barack Obama is not just an ancient Mayan God, he’s secretly being controlled by an army of zombie squirrels.
On Friday, Bill O’Reilly will say that, okay, Obama *is* an evil ancient Mayan God, but the squirrel thing–that’s just crazy.
On Saturday, the actual Mayans will show up to pull the hearts out of Glenn Beck, Lou Dobbs, Rush Limbaugh, and Bill O’Reilly. Millions will cheer.
I believe you have won the internets for today!
I cannot wait until Saturday. Blood sacrifice!!
Conservatism has become a group neurosis. Take a minute to scan the archived Genovese MySpace page. The Glenn Beck/Rush Limbaugh/Bill O’Reilly fringe lives in a world where the government is going to create a national emergency with swine flu, allowing the government to suspend constitutional rights and open FEMA the concentration camps. FEMA is stockpiling hundreds of thousands of coffins to bury the remains of the exterminated masses.
Hey, folks — we had it right way back in ‘64 –
“In your guts, you know they’re nuts.”
Morning all,
There is a new warning from Glen Beck. It seems that if you visit the Cash for clunkers web site the government will take over your computer.
Good morning, pups. It’s Douthat and Krugman today. That pasty little putz gives us “Blue State Blues,” in which he babbles that President Obama is pushing a blue-state agenda during a recession that’s exposed some of the blue-state model’s weaknesses, and some of the red-state model’s strengths. Prof. Krugman, in “Rewarding Bad Actors,” says even before the bailouts, many financial-industry high-fliers made fortunes through activities that were worthless if not destructive from a social point of view. And they’re still at it.
Here they are.
The coffee and tea are ready, the cold drinks are in the fridge, and the biscuits are out of the oven. It’s a new month already — where on earth does the time go? Have a great day.
For real? It’s way past time they adjusted his meds.
Here is a linky

Passed a billboard in Waco, TX that says “Where’s The BIRTH CERTIFICATE”/ still giggling. Expensive way to play crazy.
Funny thing is, I’ll bet these demented rumors were started by FEMA contractors who stand to lose when the administration tries to re-establish some sanity in that agency.
Good Morning. I’m surprised no one has painted on that billboard providing the answer. Some enterprising reporter should find out who paid for that.
Not if you wrap a decoder ring in aluminum foil and tape it to your tea bag.
…And there’s Obama’s Republic of Kenya birth certificate that’s just been discovered, except that (per Dkos):
Snort! And lower the ear flaps on your tin foil hat.
No kidding, FoxNews, Rush and the rest are killing this country.
A right-wing decoder ring? How do you fit an entire dictionary of antonyms onto a ring?
A RNC spokesman has finally responded to the Genovese story:
What’s really scary is their wingnuttery is gaining traction, as the MSM mindlessly repeats their insane talking points. The dems in congress are to spineless to slap that shit down, people start to believe it and…
rush is a secret democrat, he flippled in the second term of bush, his mission is to get republicans as sick of this country as possible and have them run into the open arms of the democratic party
the problem with this is that now we have a bunch of republicans claiming they’re democrats
but rush might be the single most important factore behind bush in the destruction of the republican party
here’s the thing;
they know it too but they have no one else to look to
glen, michelle, the washington times and WSJ are all attacking the National Endowment for the Arts– culture war crap all over again. they are contorting facts and flat out lying. i bet we see more of it this week… lame.
George Lakoff taught us that framing is everything and what Americans are victims of continually is the distortion of whats going on by the perversion, intentional or not of language.
In addition, no one is discussing what insurance is SUPPOSED to be – means for people to share risk at a reasonable cost. What it’s turned into is a business that poses as this but whose purpose is profit. This is true of ALL businesses which have dropped all pretense (even) of their having a social purpose.
The “conspiracy” is simply that every player in the health game is in it for money… well many or so many of them that they have turned the entire sector into a regular old USA capitalist business.
Think of a the movie business. To the producer/investors it’s about money. They could care less what the subject or topic is. Within the industry there are people who want to convey a message, who are artists and so on, and some who want both money and message (or art). But as an “industry” it can only be seen as a for profit sector. We have arts grants, Indy films and so on, but in the end, the chain of theatres, the advertisers, and so on are the blood suckers to the industry.. or are the industry.
Even if we has universal single payer, we still have economic abuse by for profit health providers and these need to be cleaned up.
When you think that reform means many will lose their lucrative jobs, incomes, investments and so on and this sector is so large, a lot of well off interests are fighting very hard not to lose their $$.
Once the abuse has been striped out, the cash cow is killed there are no more ways to laugh all the way to the bank.
There will continue to be abuses since it’s hard to completely remove for profit companies from any industry and these will continue to inflate costs.
I suppose in the end the only way to do this is by progressive tax which makes making oodles of cash not possible.
Dude its the last age the Mayan said think about it the beginning of the last age not the end of mankind.
That would come at the end of the last age I think its a few thousand years. Also the final battle between good and evil Krazilec sp? I assume that even if the battle starts at the beginning of the age Obama will be on the side of the Angels.
Glen Beck, Michelle Malkin if those hate mongers hate Obama then I feel good with my choice. The begining of every age does have conflict as the old is swept away.
Considering how the GOP is shooting themselves in the foot on Hispanic voters, Global warming, HealthCare I think they maybe swept away they won’t go down easy but they are going down.
Glenn Beck today will be talking highly of his Brownshirt, Nancy Genovese, on his show. You betcha! This woman would make Sarah Palin proud too!
I do hope the Mayan Gods take Glen Beck though:)
Yep Glen will praise her as a patriot who wants to attack our own troops? Arrrgh! teh stupid it burns!
Just for pedantry’s sake…
… leaving aside the insanity of stalking a military base while armed…
… the XM-15 is a rifle. It is not an assault rifle. It looks like an M-16 but it is not an assault rifle as it has no full auto fire setting.
If we’re going to deride the wingnuts for never leaving the culture wars behind then let’s not engage in some of the most egregious excesses of the left from those self-same battles.
And reflexively calling any rifle with a box magazine an “assault rifle” is one such excess.
Still, woman is teh crazy…
Just saw a video up on Crooks and Liars in which some winger claims to have proof positive that Obama is the antichrist but then goes on to say that no way he’s actually suggesting he is the antichrist. He was merely pointing out that he could be the antichrist. You know, in some alternate reality in which wingers make sense and up is down.
Why would they consider buying coffins in this economy? Aren’t mass graves good enough?
This woman is effin crazy! I tried to read the whole myspace page of hers but couldn’t get past 3 or 4 blogs. She needs to be in Bellevue Hospital, doing the Thorazine Shuffle. I wonder how many others like her are out there? If you think about it, people like her are a total sum of Beck.
Effin Nuts!
Beck will have her on his show, idolizing her tea-baggery, only when she’s released from the nut house. I don’t think it will be any time soon. She believes that any or every person in the vicinity of her home is spying on her through her radar detector.
Yea, since Bernie Madoff isn’t around to lead the Republicans they will just keep fretting over the list. They will punt eventually this week.
I don’t know. Evil is not incomprehensible, but it sure is stupid.
