My brain hurts from reading that. Make it stop

OMFG Conspiracy!

You have to wonder if their readers are in on the joke. When did their readership change from PhD's to "the unmedicated"?

With more magazines running this junk, it wont be long before National Enquirer and Infowars are the leading names in 'news'

Republicans aren't helping Obama because he's a Messiah, it's because he's the most perfect scapegoat they could have ever dreamed of.

The Kool-Aid is strong with this one.

Mordant: Republicans aren't helping Obama because he's a Messiah, it's because he's the most perfect scapegoat they could have ever dreamed of.

Give that man a kewpie doll.

This is what years of looking up to morons like Reagan and Bush does to you.

It makes as much sense as anything else this election.

dj_bigbird: It makes as much sense as anything else this election.

No. No it doesn't. It makes decidedly less sense than damn near anything I've ever read.

Yes, no REAL competition. Voltron would have totally crushed Obama, but Voltron couldn't run...

Of course. It's impossible for the GOP to actually fail and take responsibility.

this guy only sees half the picture. The GOP wants Obama to run. After he's done completely f*cking up the country the Republicans will be back in office in 2012 and it will be a LONG time until any Dems are voted into office again. A four year sacrifice is worth it to be the party in power for the next forty years after Obama's tenure in the White House.

You're not giving Bush enough credit. He still has 100 days to finish the job.

Those eight years under Clinton were pure hell, weren't they? Thank God the Republicans got rid of any ideological ties to conservatism and just rule by gut-checks and truthiness. That thinking brought about the Paradise we now inhabit.

My sense senses are strangely numb upon considering this piece.

FTA: "There is no other way for someone as far left as Obama to be elected without it being an inside job."

'far left as Obama'? What about as far left as President Bush? Who nationalized the housing industry? Who nationalized wall street?

I don't get it. how in the HELL can anyone on the Republican side say they're against socialism? Bush turned the Republican party socialist with his recent decisions. So saying that Obama is a socialist is rather pointless. The *Republicans* are socialist too!

I think a group of people are getting together -- in private -- and creating paranoid conspiracies.

Oh wait, I just saw one now, out of the corner of my eye...oh, he's probably hiding around the corner there, ready to foist a new conspiracy theory on the world the moment I turn my back.

MisterTweak: You have to wonder if their readers are in on the joke. When did their readership change from PhD's to "the unmedicated"?

I was just thinking the same thing, MisterTweak. Back before Regan emptied the mental hospitals, people like this were institutionalized.

Dear Mark Stein,

Go on holiday...find a nice, quiet beach in the south pacific and listen to the soothing rhythm of the waves as they lap gently against the beautiful white sandy shore...and have a nice, cool double lithium-colada.

I should tell this guy about this totally revelatory new theory of 9/11 being an inside job.

The steel was supposed to be stronger and stuff! It'll BLOW YOUR MIND! Of course, the Jews and the Saudis teamed up to make it happen!

/at first I was like :|
//but then I LOL'd.

So his own base is turning against him now?

Why did I read that? I should have known that nothing worth reading has ever appeared on NRO.

I had to read that a couple of times, too, because I couldn't get his point.

What I got: Author was stupid and disturbed, and a very interesting writer.

That was five minutes of my life right down the toilet.

moralpanic: So his own base is turning against him now?

Some of the non-believers are ditching the boat early. I think he's got a couple of horses still in the race, but the track has narrowed.

So if Obama is the messiah and this was 40 years in the making, does that mean McCain is Moses?

Weaver95: I don't get it. how in the HELL can anyone on the Republican side say they're against socialism? Bush turned the Republican party socialist with his recent decisions. So saying that Obama is a socialist is rather pointless. The *Republicans* are socialist too!

Well, to be fair, most republicans are not conservatives, in the true sense of the word.

In fact, there's only one true republican candidate for office this year.

Does Victoria Jackson know about this?

well, when you're right, you're right. hell, this guy is even on the right, right? so he must be right.

Except, you know, it's not going to be the next president's fault for what happens in their term. Bush screwed it up so badly that 4 years of benevolent rule (at best) would not be able to fix everything.

Obama, however, can start us on the road to national healing.

Also, Thompson isn't a candidate for office anymore.

You don;t get the Republican base, do you? They will ALWAYS vote republican. As an independent I can notice these things. There will always be a 49-51% rep. base.

Tacoby Bellisbury: This, this is the plan.

I remember thinking about the same thing back in 1992 when Clinton got elected: we're in a recession, the Dow is at 2700, and this Democrat is going o raise taxes! Sell, sell, it'll never be this high again!!

Heh.


Be careful of what you wish for, Mr. Bellisbury. Nobody is blaming Obama for what has happened in the past. It's all upside for him.

Yes, he is, he'son the ballot as a write in candidate. I already cast my early vote for him.

Did you cry when you wrote that guys? Sad pathetic "we'll show them!!" tears?

I agree with Wombatzu. Not only has GWB done damage to our country's reputation that will take years to fix, he's done enough damage to his own party to last a decade. I could easily see eight years of Obama and then eight of Biden before the Repubs have a shot at the White House again.

You know, if Obama wins, Lincoln's ghost will be seen smiling and doing the Hitler Jig

/'cause he gave a damn about human beings, unlike other Republican presidents of late

The person who wrote that sounds like someone that I would smile at and slowly back away from.

Come on guys, it makes perfect sense:

Forty years ago the Vietnamese brainwashed McCain because they knew forty years later he would run for President. At the same time, they randomly chose a black kid to groom and mold to whom McCain could throw the race. This would allow them to take over America as revenge for bombing Hanoi.

I'm sorry... the "Hitler Jig"?

biden will get elected at 73??? and serve to get reelected at 77?

Wow, and I thought Bob Barr was gonna take votes away from McCain. But now there seem to be a lot of write-ins for RON PAUL, and now Fred Thompson...McCain is *screwed*

Tacoby Bellisbury:

I'll give you 5/10 on that troll. Saying that the Republicans have a permanent 49-51% base, funny. Adding the time-honoured "I'm a Fark Independent!" cliché, a nice touch.

I also like the lauding of Fred Thompson. But that's a little silly, don't you think? Probably this kind of troll would be more of a Giuliani fan.

So, only 5/10. But it's a decent start.

Not saying that the repubs won't blame Obama for all the shiat Bush started, just saying that they shouldn't. Or McCain, for that matter, if he gets a miracle. And several more miracles, how the polls have started trending recently.

A write-in candidate who has already dropped out of the race is not someone who is a candidate for the office.

No, no, no. Think.

QED.

Hey, if McCain can get nominated when he's 72, Biden can get nominated at 73.

//Pancakes!

bobbette: I also like the lauding of Fred Thompson. But that's a little silly, don't you think? Probably this kind of troll would be more of a Giuliani fan.

He's confusing Fred Thompson's Senatorial career with his make believe District Attorney career on TV.

Dammit, we were so close! Only four weeks til the election! We had it in the bag! But then this Mark Steyn comes along and blows the lid off the whole thing! Damn you Mark Steyn, how did you know? We (Allah's Communist Radical Network -- yes, we might as well admit it, that's what ACORN really stands for) "acquired" John McCain in 1968. Every time he gets a phone call and hears the secret code word "Maverick," another set of instructions kicks in. The most recent was to repeat "my friends" as many times as possible on national television. I'm still not sure what that was supposed to accomplish, but Boris and Quang-Duc thought it was a laugh riot, so we left it in.
