Nobody could have predicted that eight years of Bush fearmongering coupled with the utter nonsense spewing from the likes of the NRA and Glenn Beck would result in this sort of thing:

Thanks to some sleuth work on the Internet, we’re starting to learn more about Richard Poplawski, the 23-year-old who killed three police officers yesterday in Pittsburgh, evidently out of fear that his guns were going to be taken away.

It appears that what police may be looking at is a budding white supremacist who frequented one of the most popular neo-Nazi websites and harbored an apocalyptic dread of the federal government.

Ann Coulter – media whore, plagiarist, and now a complete fool:

In her April 1 column, Ann Coulter fell for a fake April Fools’ Day article by Car and Driver magazine that claimed that President Obama has ordered General Motors and Chrysler to cease their participation in NASCAR because it is an “unnecessary expenditure.” Coulter wrote, “If Obama can tell GM and Chrysler that their participation in NASCAR is an ‘unnecessary expenditure,’ isn’t having public schools force students to follow Muslim rituals, recite Islamic prayers and plan ‘jihads’ also an ‘unnecessary expenditure’?”

Not quite sure where she’s headed with that, but you can head over to Human Events and read … oh wait, you can’t.  I was wrong – the column has not been rewritten.

Well that didn’t take long.

Yesterday:

GQ: Are you saying you think women have the right to choose abortion?

STEELE: Yeah. I mean, again, I think that’s an individual choice.

Today:

I am pro-life, always have been, always will be.… In my view Roe vs. Wade was wrongly decided and should be repealed.

First Rush, then Joe the Plumber, now this.  Guy must be bleeding from the asshole.

Steele Bends Under Far-Right Pressure [Think Progress]

Sarah Palin. Joe the Plumber. Rush Limbaugh. Eric Cantor. Bobby Jindal. The GOP all stars who would save their party are a pretty sorry bunch. They are deeply ignorant and breathtakingly selfish people. Yet the wingnuts heap praise on these loons and clamor for one of them to ride to the rescue.  And now there’s another candidate:

SITTING in the back seat of his mother’s van as she drives through Atlanta suburbs, Jonathan Krohn is about to sign off with a conservative radio talk show host in Florida. In the 40 minutes he’s been on the air, with the help of his mother’s cellphone, this hyper-articulate Georgia eighth grader has attacked the stimulus bill, identified leaders he thinks will salvage the Republican Party’s image, and assessed the legitimacy of Barack Obama’s birth certificate.

Some 12.5 million Americans are enjoying the fruits of the Bush II Administration’s wanton looting of their country, staggering into a black dawn of countless years, possibly generations, of total economic catastrophe and, doubtless, cannibal anarchy, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported this week.

Bush- and Cheney-aligned organized crime enterprises are no doubt developing strategies to cash in on the ensuing calamities, providing support services to US military deployed to put down pandemic urban insurrection, riot and civil war, as vast swaths of American society become unmoored, barbarized by starvation, disease and the despair of hopeless existence amidst smoldering, blood-soaked ruins and rotting carrion.

If this doesn’t trigger an FCS post I don’t know what will.  And what’s with the fucking Riverdance soundtrack on this video?
