Found via Orrin Judd, Frank Rich of the New York Times gets a case, as Michelle Malkin writes, of the heebie-jeebies and screams, “The G.O.P. Stalinists Invade Upstate New York.”
But a paradox emerges: does Rich consider “Stalinist” a good or a bad thing? From Duranty copping a Pulitzer by shilling for Uncle Joe himself, to Pinch Sulzberger backing the NVA because “It’s the other guy’s country” to, just last month, Thomas Friedman pining for Communist China, it’s certainly hard to tell.
(And of course, while Scozzafava’s views were certainly to the left of mainstream Republicanism, it seems a bit unfair for Rich to call her a Stalinist…)
I truly believe that conservatives should just let these idiots spout off every chance they get and we should AGREE WITH THEM! Let them tell us in their own way what they fear, who they fear (like Sarah Palin, and listen to them when they lecture us on who we should include in our “big tent”, how we should conduct ourselves, and we should quietly listen while they tell us the ramifications or lack thereof of all these political elections. They’re telling us all what is actually going to defeat them and what they fear most if we just sit there and listen to them rant. They just got slapped in the face and the “beJesus” scared out of them by these elections, they know deep down what it means…so let them spin it the way they want. Agree with them! I’ll set the tone if you like: “Obama might be the greatest President ever! His economic philosophy is the best! You don’t have to worry about a bunch of right wing radicals marching on Washington or voting in these mid-term elections, they’re just a bunch of white bible clutching, gun toting extremists that don’t realize the Constitution is a living document written by a bunch of white slave owners! We need the Government to regulate us or we’ll just self destruct! Chris Matthews is a genius! Keith Olberman is a moderate! You should keep doing what you’re doing and you’ll win the 2010 elections by a landslide! (I feel soiled.)
