Wingnut Web – this week in Wingnuts

[adrotate banner=”1″]And now for a slightly different type of post. This week has been filled with crazy members of the Right Wing community acting more crazy than usual. Don’t worry, next week they will be even more crazy. We have praise for terrorism, veiled threats of shooting the president, Town Halls gone wild, and a paranoid media host ramping up the paranoia. Here is a small bit of the nuts in the news this week…

California Republican Representative Wally Herger Praises “Right Wing Terrorist” at Town Hall:

an incident broke out at a town hall at Simpson University in Redding [Northern California] on Tuesday when Herger signaled encouragement to a 67-year-old town hall attendee, Bert Stead, who called himself a “proud right-wing terrorist.”

“Amen, God bless you,” Herger reportedly replied to the comment. “There is a great American.”

Republican Idaho Governor candidate Rex Rammell makes jokes about hunting Obama:

Rammell’s remarks on Otter came in an interview Wednesday after the Times-News asked about comments Rammell made Tuesday night at a local Republican party event.

After an audience member shouted a question about “Obama tags” during a discussion on wolves, Rammell responded, “The Obama tags? We’d buy some of those.”

Rammell, a veterinarian and former elk rancher from Idaho Falls, said his comment was a joke and he would never seriously talk about President Obama that way, although he doesn’t support anything Obama’s done as president.

“I was just being sarcastic. That was just a joke,” Rammell said. “I would never support him being assassinated.

“She kind of caught me off guard, to be honest with you.”

Kansas Republican Representative Lynn Jenkins wants to find the Great White Hope:

“Republicans are struggling right now to find the great white hope,” said [Rep. Lynn] Jenkins. “I suggest to any of you who are concerned about that, who are Republican, there are some great young Republican minds in Washington.” As examples, Jenkins mentioned Rep. Eric Cantor (R-VA), Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) and Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI).


Way to Freudian slip how monochrome your party is!

Glenn Beck is back and more insane than ever!
CrooksandLiars has the video He’s lost 40 sponsors and counting.

McCain gets booed for saying Obama respects the Constitution. The Tea Party Protesters just hate looking sane.

and Teddy Kennedy died this week, so you can’t go three steps without some Wingnut trying to bash him. Too many examples to post.
