Weekend Wingnut Roundup
It's a long weekend, but you know the wingnuts are out there trying to think up the next talking point:
Ace of Spades - Richard Armitage should be charged with perjury because he didn't tell Bob Woodward he was the leaker.
All Things Beautiful - all we have to do to stop Iran from getting nukes is to force Wal-Mart to threaten to move its production out of China ... no, wait! I'm serious!
American Thinker - so what if Scooter Libby lied to the grand jury? Everyone knows that the crime is worse than the coverup, and there was no fucking crime!
Blue Crab Boulevard - plain old angry Muslims are worse than angry Muslims with guns.
Captain's Quarters - until you prove to me that increasing nicotine levels makes cigarettes more addictive I'm siding with the tobacco companies.
Confederate Yankee - although I lump British-born Pakistanis together here, I hardly think we Americans ever lump people together based on nationality.
Debbie Schlussel - missing Egyptian students and terror-linked pizza shops portend the end of the NFL as we know it.
Flopping Aces - Fitzpatrick should have exercised prosecutorial discretion and ignored Scooter Libby's lies and ... what? Ken Starr? No, can't say I've ever heard of him.
GOP Bloggers - Europe was, like, totally responsible for World War II and ... what? The Japanese? No, can't say I've ever heard of them.
Hot Air (Allahpundit) - those British terror suspects ate together at a Chinese restaurant that's just up the block from a Persian restaurant - what further proof of Iranian involvement do you want?
Hugh Hewitt - those terrorists in Britain are proof positive that cutting and running in Iraq will have no bearing on where we have to fight terror ... oh shit, did I stray off one of my Republican talking points?
Instapundit - I found this cool flashlight that will be perfect for the terror attacks I know are coming.
Little Green Footballs - what the fuck do the Lebanese need with food and medical supplies anyway?
Macsmind - the fact that The Washington Post wrote about Armitage and Plamegate proves that the MSM is ignoring the story.
NRO (Cliff May) - if we're going to get the American people to hate all Muslims we're going to have to figure out a really nasty name for them, so put on your thinking caps people.
NRO - (Jonah Goldberg) - as usual I have nothing useful to add, so I'll just take Michael Ledeen's word for it that Muslims are all fascists.
NRO (Ramesh Ponnuru) - the available evidence tells me Katherine Harris is nuts, but that would cast further doubt on Bush's legitimacy so let's not talk about it.
NRO (Victor Davis Hanson) - the available evidence tells me it's OK to hate all Muslims now, so go ahead - give it a try!
Patterico's Pontifications - my traffic went up when I went on vacation, but if you think that'll stop my rabid wingnuttery you've got another thing coming!
Powerline - when those injured in Iraq don't die from their wounds it proves the level of violence is going down.
Protein Wisdom - permitting even the slightest bit of multiculturalism will result in dead girls buried in backyards, so we'd better put a stop to this 'tolerance' shit right now.
Sister Toldjah - of course defense contractors are going to profit shamelessly from Bush's War On Everything™ - it's not like war and death are nonprofit enterprises!
Townhall (K-Ham) - among the many reasons to blindly hate Joe Wilson and Valerie Plame is the fact that they both have really good hair.
Townhall (Michael Medved) - my tax bill is far too high, but I still want national parks n' stuff.
Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose.
The more they change, indeed... were any of those a direct quote this time? I didn't click the links. I trust you :)

Your summarizations are flawless. These people are more whacked out in their conspiracy theories than a convention of 9/11 truth seekers on acid.

Hey, Blogenfreud! You tryin' to put me out of business?!
I got linked on C&L with you. Good job, dude!

blogenfrude: I suppose it would be of immense relief to drop a tab or twoo, all the better to forget the SHORTING of UNITED and AMERICAN stock the week leading up to 9/11/01. Made what was termed BILLIONS by expert financial professionals, but ignored by hardheaded propaganda smokers.
Stick that up your "more whacked out...than a convention of 9/11 truthseelers on acid" pipe.
Then explain how those I-beams weighing more than a school bus were ejected 60o feet from the towers by a "gravity collapse", genius.

I will probably regret this, but:
all the better to forget the SHORTING of UNITED and AMERICAN stock the week leading up to 9/11/01 ...
As if airline stocks deserved any but to be shorted back then ...

faranq,
I was the one who made the comments. Let me explain the joke (which automatically makes it less funny)The right wing nuts listed by Mr. Blogenfreude are whacked out. Dropping acid makes a person paranoid, as well as delusional. 9/11 conspiracy theorists (some of which I agree with) on acid would be paranoid and delusional, even more so because of the immense amount of information in their heads. Therefore, if the right wing nuts were more delusional than conspiracy theorists on acid, they'd be pretty far out there. Which they are (right wing nuts, not 9/11 conspiracy theorists.)

Hm. LGF is borked... Perhaps they didn't pay their electric bill?

Great round-up here.
StealthBagder, what does borked mean?

Oh my, you didn't have to go to all that trouble to convince me that they're all dog shit crazy. But thanks for your dedication. :)

Man there are some crazy people out there!! I often like to scan around the right-wing blogs to see what the nutters are spouting. A particular favourite is USS Neverdock. Always good for a laugh.

What happened to Atlas Unhinged?
And I still don't know how you do it? These people are seriously batshit.

I'm surrounded by blindness. What's the matter with the planners of this war? The answer's right in front of you, idiots!! Didn't you notice the huge intelligence break implicit in the release of the two Fox News "journalists"? Do I have to spell it out? THEY WERE CONVERTED AT GUNPOINT TO ISLAM!!
Must I do EVERYTHING? You need a specialized draft, one which will call up all priests of military age. Give each of them a gun, maybe one of those assclown decks of cards with the remaining Ringleaders of the Revolution on it. A few quick lessons in conversion at gunpoint, and it's off to Sandyland. They can start with the guys pictured on the cards (those who aren't dead or captured), and branch out from there, converting everybody to Christianity at gunpoint!
Once they're all converted, they'll love America!! God and Country!! Apple pie all around!! If this worthy goal is not sufficient inspiration, priests might be offered conversion-points toward a Cadillac Escalade, something like that.
Reply to me here, Mr. Rumsfeld, and I'll give you instructions where you can send my consultancy fee.

Yeah, where was Atlas Muggs? Or Atlas Juggs? She's one of my favorites to get nauseated at.
