The spectacle unfolding between Thad Cochran and Chris McDaniel over the Senate seat in Mississippi has become something of a large angry zit on the face of the American right. This puss-filled dispute has come roiling to a head and is ripe to pop just in time for a pivotal election when the party should be galvanizing, not rupturing.
Good times.
Now two of the most unabashed shit-stirrers in all the land have taken their spoons to their own slop bucket this week, Ann Coulter and Bryan Fischer.
Chris McDaniel making an utter fool of himself with his masturbatory fantasies of a victory that will never happen proved too enticing a target for Ann Coulter and her shit spoon. On Wednesday, Coulter penned a push-button screed opining that it was time for McDaniel to bow out to avert disaster to the party and irreversible damage to his own political ambitions. As typically bull-in-a-china-shop of a job as she does of it, she makes a shrill point.
Chris McDaniel, candidate for the U.S. Senate from Mississippi, lost the Republican runoff to incumbent Sen. Thad Cochran last month, and now he is being led down a primrose path to political oblivion. McDaniel's passionate supporters think that a moment of crisis for the country is a good time to treat control of the Senate as if it's a prom queen election.
But some McDaniel supporters can't think about anything but winning this one primary. They don't care that they're gambling with a Republican majority in the Senate -- or destroying McDaniel's future prospects. (Which could come soon -- Cochran isn't getting any younger.) As the nation goes up in smoke, they act as if the future of the country is nothing compared to their color war at summer camp.
Well this didn't sit well with cultural warrior and teabagging gnat Brian Fischer. How dare that woman! To the
wood shed!
After reading Ann Coulter’s all-out scathing attack on Chris McDaniel and grassroots conservatives yesterday, the question must be asked: what in the world has happened to her? Has her brain been mysteriously rewired by the political elite, like the vice-presidential candidate in Denzel Washington’s remake of the Manchurian Candidate?
First she takes a big fat fee to be the keynote speaker at a big pro-gay extravaganza, Homocon, then endorses Mitt Romney early in the 2012 campaign, and now she condescendingly attacks the Tea Party. With friends like this…
All this is hardly a “color war at summer camp,” as Coulter snarks at the end of her column. There are matters of justice and integrity here that by all rights ought to be resolved before the open gaze of the courts and the public.
If Ann Coulter can’t see that, it may be because she is looking through glasses she got from Karl Rove and Haley Barbour.
We owe it to the Republican party to point and laugh at them as they slap and gouge and woop woop woop the hell out of one another. We'll call the Libertarians Moe, the Republicans Larry and the Tea Party Curly. The Religious Right can be Shemp because who really cares about Shemp.
Knyuck knyuck knyuck.
