Shame on you, Ed! You know better than to confuse Sens. Joe Lieberman, Evan Bayh and John Kyl with the facts about what would happen to Iran should they try to nuke Israel!

Evidently not. Here’s Tim Graham, complaining about Mike Malloy being Mike Malloy:

On Wednesday, radical radio host Mike Malloy took a page from Ed Schultz (or perhaps it was the other way around) in asserting that the “neo-fascist right” takes joy in the killing of a Census worker:

• This is what they do. O’Reilly inspires people to go kill doctors who provide private abortion services, legal services to his patients; and then O’Reilly stands there with that dung-eating look on his face — what a SOB he is. ‘It wasn’t me; of course it was you, you thug!’ And the suicide-prone Glenn Beck rails against Census workers, and inspires his people to kill one for sport; I bet you O’Reilly and Beck and the rest of these monsters on the neo-fascist right in this country love this stuff. It gives them something else to talk about. It’s sport.

And here’s Noel Sheppard (whose NewsBusters bio pic resembles Hoyt Pollard’s character in Deliverance), reveling in the implied violence against Al Gore disguised as humor perpetrated by Pillz-E* on Jay Leno’s new prime-time show last Friday:

As NewsBusters’ Brent Baker previously reported, conservative talk radio host Rush Limbaugh had fun with Jay Leno Thursday evening actually driving an electric car over a cardboard cut-out of Al Gore.

Prior to that hilarious scene, Limbaugh sat down with Leno and discussed politics, President Obama, Medicare, and even weight loss.

So there you go. The new rules for political discourse in this country, courtesy of NewsBusters. Acting out one’s violence fantasies against an cardboard surrogate for a liberal politician? High comedy. Calling out the right wing for their atomic heat-level hate against anyone who isn’t a member of their straight-white-male-conservative-Christians-only club? High treason.

Also.

* For the thinking-impaired at NewsBusters, this is what I’m referring to.

Even though practically everyone has done it by now, I couldn’t resist my own commentary on the highlowlights of the (Not Quite A) Million Moron March.

Naturally, there were Birthers there.

Hey, moron: I took a semester of Russian in college. I’m pretty sure that Cyrillic doesn’t mean what you think it means. I’ll spell it out for you: sndigeh. (Which I’m pretty sure is not a word in Russian!)

“Don’t Blame Me — I voted for Sarah” — says a lot about the intellectual acumen of these moral midgets, doesn’t it?

Yep. A purely organic movement, I tell you! No astroturfing here. 

Our protesters are more eco-friendly than your protesters. Yes, indeedy. 

Nope, no racism there.  (For the “front” side of the sign, go here.)

You stay KKKlassy, Fetus Fetishists.

And of course, no Glenn Beck-promoted teabagging would be complete without (not very) thinly-veiled threats of violence…

Right. Because if they tell you they’re Fair & Balanced™®© (every five seconds), it MUST be true!

The freaks who get off on torture (especially torture of Democrats) also put in an appearance. (Dale Franks, is that you?)

Glenn Beck for Prez in 2012. Says it all, doesn’t it?

Hey, look! The Jonah Goldberg Fan Club made it! And they’re just as doughy as their hero!

Ironically, the leading cause of death for President Garfield was an armed lunatic conspiracy theorist.

Probably the only true sign in the bunch, but not for the reason he thinks.

I see the Teabagger Big Tent™ still has room for John Bolton fans.

I think we’re done here.

I know why wingnuts, who constantly slag liberals as “The Blame America First Crowd,” don’t want to remember 9/13. That’s because eight years ago today, two of their own Blamed America First™:

So much for that post-partisan goodwill that sprouted up after 9/11, eh?

I haven’t forgotten The Spirit of 9/11™ — the time in the immediate aftermath of the worst terrorist attack on American soil since the Murrah Federal Building bombing when Americans of all political stripes put aside their differences to work together to defeat the terrorists who had just slapped us silly to the tune of 3,000+ dead.

Boy, that sure lasted long, didn’t it?

And since then, 9/11 has devolved into a political football, with conservatives regularly bashing liberals over the head with the corpses in an effort to paint them as insufficiently patriotic and a Fifth Column in the War on Terror™©®. And that’s when they weren’t using it to declare all Muslims untermenchen worthy only of being shoved into Adam Yoshida’s macrowave ovens.

And that, Ladies and Gentlemen of the jury, is the most profane desecration of the memory of 9/11 in my mind.

I can’t really add too much to what JJ said about the senseless double-homicide in Owosso, Michigan, but I will say this: the fact that the Coerced Delivery Brigade is trying to equate this with the EIGHT victims of anti-abortion terrorism says a lot about the value they place on the life of OB/GYNs who perform abortion versus the value of the lives of their membership. One Fetus Fetishist is worth at least eight Dr. Tillers, in the eyes of these people.

To make matters worse, some Fetus Fetishists are deliberately ignoring the condemnations of the violence from pro-choice bloggers in order to shriek “Where are the feminazis?” They neither know nor care that some of us would prefer to wait for ALL of the facts to come in before offering anything beyond the standard “We condemn all abortion-related violence, no matter which side it comes from,” as if our “silence” were somehow more contemptible than the flood of verbal coprophilia that was tweeted by the Coerced Delivery Brigade in the aftermath of Dr. Tiller’s murder.

I BELIEVE THIS PROVES MY POINT: If this New York Times article is true, then indeed Mr. Pouillon’s views were at issue in his murder. In which case, his murder was indeed the despicable act of a coward, just as much as the murder of Dr. Tiller was the despicable act of a coward. See how easy that was, Fetus Fetishists? No need to resort to this “He was a mass murderer who got what he deserved!” bullshit. (I’m looking at you, Randall Terry!)

CURIOUSER AND CURIOUSER: AP says that abortion had nothing to do with the murder of Mr. Pouillon. This is why saying anything beyond “All abortion-related political violence is to be condemned, and anyone who engages in it needs to be put away for a really long time,” before all the facts come out is just partisan masturbation.

ThinkProgress asks:

Why is Fox News staking out Media Matters’ HQ?

So Bill O’Reilly can whip up his followers into bombing one of the subsidiaries of The Eternal Soros™©®.

After spending seven tweets devoted to engaging in one particularly egregious libel of Sen. Kennedy, I think it’s safe to say that Andrew Breitbart has earned the right to be slapped with this:

Spending two whole days shitting on Ted Kennedy’s corpse suggests that, despite your protests to the contrary, you don’t think he had ANY redeeming qualities whatsoever.
