California, You Got Nothin’

October 16th, 2008 at 4:21 pm

This week the Sacramento County, California, Republican Party had to yank from its Web site some highly offensive content, including a call to “Waterboard Barack Obama” and a statement that “The Only Difference Between Obama and Osama is BS.” Pretty bad stuff.

But never think that California can out-wingnut Texas.

Take for example the Web site of the Hays County GOP. There you will find a John Birch Society-style menu of far-right fantasies, racially-charged videos, and some bizarro conspiracy theories. Under the banner “Things You Need to See Today” is a link entitled “Understanding Obama: The Making of a Fuehrer.” That leads to an essay on a site called Faithfreedom.org that compares Obama to Hitler and Khomeini. The author thinks Obama has something called a narcissistic personality disorder (NPD). Here’s a choice passage:

From Saddam to Osama, to Hitler, to Stalin, to Khomeini, to Mao and to Kim Jong Ill [sic], it is wounded childhood that causes NPD. Obama’s chaotic childhood and his continuous struggle to find his identity make him a prime candidate for NPD.

And this:

It is no wonder that Ahmadinejad, Hugo Chavez, the Castrists, the Hezbollah, the Hamas, the lawyers of the Guantanamo terrorists and virtually all sworn enemies of America are so thrilled by the prospect of their man in the White House. America is on the verge of destruction. There is no insanity greater than electing a pathological narcissist as predident [sic].

Another link on the Hays Republicans’ site — entitled “Take a good long look at this interview done in 1985 featuring a soviet defector and ex-KGB propaganda agent laying out a communist multi-generational plan that is unfolding today” — leads, sure enough, to an interview featuring a Soviet defector and ex-KGB propaganda agent laying out a multi-generational plan to do something or the other. What the grainy video has to do with Obama — or anything else — is unclear.

The Hays site features another video headlined “Barack Obama & Kenya’s radical socialist Raila Odinga: Odinga’s connections to Communism, Islam, and his cousin, Barack Obama.”

To review thus far: Obama is a Hitleresque communist Muslim who worships himself when he’s not, ya know, pallin’ around with terrorists. But that’s not all. The Hays GOP directs curious readers to this tangled web, where you learn about the Saul Alinsky-ACORN-Ayers-MoveOn.org-etc-etc nexus. And, God bless them, there’s even a chart!

The ACORN mad-hatter theory

The DeWitt County GOP site is another bastion of enlightened discourse.

Barack Hussein Obama is no ordinary Democratic candidate. He is by far the most liberal candidate ever to become the party’s nominee. Endorsed by the Socialist Party and Hamas. He can’t win legitimately, so he must shade the truth and use surrogates to steal the election.

Take that, California!

    I dunno, is that worse than Cali’s “Obama’s picture on food stamps” with a bucket of fried chicken and a watermelon? That’s from the kinder, gentler, Republican women of Chaffey Cty, Ca…

    Apparently, they’re throwing twenty pound rocks through the windows of cars with Obama bumper stickers.

    In Lubbockonline.com, the Lubbock Avalanche-Journal, the Mr.Conservative blog calls Democrats murderers, Nazis, Communists, Socialists. Today his headline is Would Barack Obama Support a Capitalist Genocide? He says the Democrats are going to murder all the Republicans. Yesterday, it was confiscate all the 401Ks. Mr. Conservative has had comments that Obama’s young daughters have had the genital mutulation. One commenter says Obama gets young boys from a pimp three at a time. He wants Christian boys. Would Barack Obama support the dream of his friend William Ayers, which includes the genocide of Capitalist resistors in the United States?

    One of the Obama supporters in Lubbock put up yard signs which were stolen. She put them back up. They were stolen again and her dog was poisoned.

    One guy had a brick thrown through his car windows.

    I blog meanly against Mr.Conservative, calling him a sociopath daily. I get the late night anonymous calls, a couple of threats, hang-ups, one threatening email I get called a Communist every day.
