Lena Dunham and the Crazy Right

[filkertom]

I'm just lifting this verbatim from David Waldman's dKos Radio post of the day, because WUT.

Oh. My. God.

Yesterday, the FBI arrested a NYPD cop for conspiring to kidnap, cook & eat a woman.

But by the end of the day, conservatives had identified the sign of the coming Apocalypse, and it wasn't this.

It was this:

They live among us, people.

By yesterday evening, Erik Erickson had declared we were living in a fallen, depraved world, destined for the fire.

You should totally trust this team of wacked-out end timers with the nuclear codes, America.

Personally, I love the ad. Funny, smart, and if you can't figure out where it's going in the first ten seconds, you likely deserve to have a fainting couch.

But -- perhaps especially -- since this is an official Obama campaign ad, apparently some folks are getting bent out of shape. The YouTube comments alone are... fascinating.

I was going to idly speculate on what the problem could possibly be, until I remembered that they're afraid of sex, too, and women's sexuality in particular.

Me? I never metaphor I didn't like.

You know, if anything makes want to find a cave to live in a looooong way from civilisation, that'd be the idea of those whack-jobs with their hands on the nuclear codes.

Btw, have you seen the new tv series 'Last Resort'... they don't come out and say it, but you get the definite impression that it's a Republican government they're talking about.

as for the cop... words fail me.
