What passes for a rational argument on the right

-Headline of the day-
"Jacksonville Tea Party Protest Features Signs Comparing President Obama To Hitler."

Of course it did. The Fourth of July teabag protests may have been a bust, but that just meant there was more crazy to go around. Where the tax day gathering drew 4,500 in Jacksonville, FL, the Independence Day version 2.0 only got 1,000 to show up.

Stuck? Help you I can. Backwards talking she is. Eat it up the loons will. (Washington Times)

"Joe The Plumber Says Immigrants Should Get 'The Hell Out Of Our Damn Country.'"

I didn't realize that Wurzelbacher was an Algonquin name. (Think Progress)
