Wingnut Watch

Commercialism in Christmas: It starts earlier and earlier every year. Yep, it's the Great War On Christmas ("GWOC"), already appearing at a wingnut station near you. Archy got a heads up about Donald Wildmon's little whine session (if you'll remember, Wildmon's the one who looks like your Christmas goose after plucking, before stuffing).

The War on Christmas is big business for groups like Wildmon's. Keeping the faithful paranoid about persecution is a cash cow that keeps on giving. If Christians weren't paranoid that someone somewhere was undermining their faith and marriage, they might stop giving to people like Wildmon, Bill Donohue, and James Dobson. Then they'd have to lay off their big staffs and get a real job.

I think that says it.

Tony Perkins Declares War: No, not the tall, skinny and very sexy Hollywood star, but the short, fat-cheeked, smarmy Tony Perkins of certified hate group Family Research Council. And he's declared war on the NRCC. Here's a PDF of the declaration.

The left is attacking both of these outstanding women because they are true conservatives. They vote pro-life and pro-family. Both Congresswomen are against taxpayer funding of abortion. Both oppose embryonic stem cell research, and both are for a Marriage Protection Amendment. These are issues that motivate voters. These are issues they and other conservative candidates have won and can win with.

I just love stuff like this. It's remarkable to see a pathological liar like Perkins acting like he's running the Republican party.

Hey Tony, haven't you noticed? Gay-bashing is a losing strategy these days. Even John McCain's figured that out.

Thanks to Down With Tyranny.
