Fearless on my breath...

Sadly, No! is currently covering the most fantastic display of extreme right-wing cannibalism I've ever seen. What happens when paleocons and neocons start bickering about who's the bigger hater and who's a little liberal-loving pussy? Why just click the link, make yourself some popcorn, and prepare to have your reality shattered. It is truly some of the funniest shit I've ever seen.

My new favorite comment from Some Guy on the debacle:

Holy God. They’re really doing it. They’re ripping themselves apart at the seams. It’s fucking Megatron and Starscream in the right wing. That’s right. The best analogy for the current Republican base is a 80’s Japanese cartoon show about cars who care.

I was going to just snark about what kind of ass-twat prick of a douchebag loser boy you have to be to wear a 10-gallon hat around, but this is way more interesting. A howling free-for-all to prove you’re the most hateful, insane, ignorant, blood thirsty Major Kong.

In continuing my theme of 80’s Japanese culture; it’s like that scene in Godzilla 1984, where they’ve lured G into an active volcano, thus ending his destructive rampage, but as they watch him Big G fall to an agonizing death, they can’t help but feel sorry for him. Poor sonuvabitch.

**happy sigh**

You really must check out Billmon's latest post on Shelby Steele's ode to the White Man from the WSJ. Seriously, this shit is just messed up:

Glenn Greenwald has been chewing over Shelby Steele's exceedingly bizarre op-ed in yesterday's Wall Street Journal, in which the conservative scholar declares that Uncle Sam is losing the war in Iraq not because of bad planning or a lack of troops or bad intelligence or a total failure to grasp the social realities of a deeply divided Middle Eastern country, but rather because of white guilt.

Yes, white guilt. America, it seems, has lost its warrior mojo because it is crippled -- haunted, tormented, curled up in agony in a fetal position on the floor -- by its historical legacy of racial oppression and injustice, or rather, by the left's determination to keep rubbing white Americans faces in that injustice...

You really have to read it to believe it, also check out Glenn Greenwald who takes on some of the wingnut chorus of "Amens!" to the piece and watch them flush the whole "humanitarian" argument for the Iraq war right down the crapper. Pay special attention to Goldstein's screed, which basically comes down to "Nuke all the brown people and let god sort 'em out." Wow...
