How many suckers do you think are going to fall for this one?  My guess is a whole bunch.

Conservative talk radio host Michael Reagan, eldest son of former president Ronald Reagan, is selling @Reagan.com e-mail addresses on his website with an appeal to conservatives to stop giving their money to companies he casts as tied to liberalism.

Writes Reagan: “People who believe in true Reagan Conservative Values are unwittingly supporting the Obama, Pelosi and Reid liberal agenda! What do I mean? Well, every time you use your email from companies like Google, AOL, Yahoo, Hotmail, Apple and others, you are helping the liberals. These companies are, and will continue, to be huge supporters financially and with technology of those that are hurting our country.”

“Is that where you want your money to go? I didn’t so I changed things,” he continues. “I came up with the very first conservative email service provider. You now can put your name next to the name of the Greatest Conservative of all, my father Ronald Reagan.”

The same idiots who dished out their money to attend classes at Glenn Beck University are most surely going to spend $34.95 per year for a Reagan.com address.  What better way to show what good little wingnuts they are.   And all the while, opportunists like Beck and Reagan are laughing all the way to the bank at the expense of simpletons who cannot see that they are being duped by con artists.

Further fallout from crap like this is the added divisiveness it creates.  Not only do you have Palin’s “real Americans” (aka conservatives) versus fake Americans (aka liberals) but now you have real American corporations versus the traitorous ones who would dare contribute money to Democrats.

Why not just start branding ‘R’ or ‘D’ on American’s foreheads and be done with it.

Does insanity from the right know no bounds?

On Monday, former Reagan administration official Jeffrey Lord astonished the left and the right by penning an article in the conservative American Spectator attacking former-USDA official Shirley Sherrod for using the term “lynching” to describe the murder of one of her relative years ago. The problem, according to Lord, was that the victim, Bobby Hall was beaten to death by a blackjack, rather than being hanged by the neck. “It’s…possible that she knew the truth and chose to embellish it, changing a brutal and fatal beating to a lynching.”

Critics, even at his own magazine, pounced, noting that a lynching is an extrajudicial murder by a mob, whether or not the weapon of choice is a rope.

Lord defends his statements with more of the same.

“Certainly the image in my head of a lynching is rope around the neck.  And when we really got into this, it was quite apparent to me that there was all sorts of other things. That there has to be a mob — mob action. Well what is a mob? Is it two people? Is it three people?”

Is this not typical of right-wing behavior?  When criticized for making erroneous or misleading statements, they don’t back down.  Instead they keep on attacking with all the vigor they can muster.  So convinced are these people that the crusade they are on to destroy anything tainted with the evils of liberalism is a worthy one that even when faced with facts, they are able to justify their words and actions to their own supposed satisfaction.

Scary insane.

And just for the record, Sherrod used the term lynching correctly.  A rope is not necessary for an act of murder to be considered a lynching.

“to seize somebody believed to have committed a crime and put him or her to death immediately and without trial, usually by hanging”  -Encarta Dictionary

This is lovely.  Jared Allen from the Hill writes…

In recent months, Democrats have been relentless in their attacks on Republicans for coordinating their efforts — political and policy — with business leaders.

[...]

It has only been in recent weeks that Republicans have begun to fight back with just as much force and vitriol.

Although top Republicans, including Boehner and Minority Whip Eric Cantor (R-Va.), were furious when Rep. Joe Barton (R-Texas) apologized to BP CEO Tony Hayward, Boehner hasn’t taken much other criticism lying down.

Instead of apologizing or backtracking from his comparison of the financial regulatory reform bill to “killing an ant with a nuclear weapon,” Boehner dug in.

Tell me, can this guy be more whacked out than by claiming that Dems are “relentless” in attacking Republicans with “force and vitriol”?  I wish it were true.  I wish Democrats had the backbone and conviction to take it to that pack of liars and smear merchants.  Sadly though, they don’t and the Ben Nelsons of the party don’t help.

And don’t miss the shallow attempt to make it appear that Republicans are victims of unwarranted attack by antagonistic forces on the Democratic side.   If Republicans are “fighting back”, Allen suggests, it is only because they’ve been forced to by evil libruls.  Too funny.

Was Jared around for the mad tea party town halls last year? Did he miss the death panel discussions? The “hell, no” rant from John Boehner before the final health care vote? Did he miss Virginia Foxx’s rants or the teabagger protests with Bachmann, Boehner et al on the Capitol steps? The Fox Gang? Rushbo?

And Jared, nothing says vitriol quite like some dude standing at a town hall where the President is speaking with a gun and the words “It is time to water the Tree of Liberty” on his t-shirt. Or a Hollywood celebrity suggesting the President is trying to start a civil war. No vitriol there, nope, no sirree.

Republicans, as pure as freshly driven mud…

Question:  Is there anything the Republican base doesn’t hate?

I’m not a heaven or hell sort of guy but if these loving and caring people are right, they’re rockin’ in hell.
