5 Most Demented Right-Wing Moments This Week

http://www.alternet.org/tea-party-and-right/5-most-demented-right-wing-moments-week



1. Peggy Noonan says the problem with the world is Obama 'dropping his g's."

Peggy Noonan is quite possibly going off the deep end. Her worries about our country's divisions have driven her there, apparently. The conservative columnist and former Reagan speechwriter talked about those worries in her column in Thursday’s Wall Street Journal, in which for some bizarre reason, she made reference to the president’s grammar and posture.

2. Michele Bachmann says Obama wants to use minors for medical experiments.

Not exactly a news flash, but Michele Bachmann is still bonkers. Her latest insane theory is that Obama wants to conduct medical experiments on the unaccompanied minors who are flooding the borders. That’s pretty far out there in crazy land, even for her.

3. Yeupp, Rush Limbaugh is still despicable. Latest instance: He applauds domestic violence because it upsets “Jurassic Park feminazis.”

Rush Limbaugh’s logic is that if something his enemiesl, that thing must be good—even when that thing is morally indefensible, like domestic violence. Limbaugh decided to weigh in this week on the case of Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice, who was definitely appears to be engaging in some domestic violence on te hside. There’s a tape of him dragging his unconscious then-fiancee through an Atlantic City hotel. The NFL suspended him for two games. As some have pointed out, they come down a lot harder on players caught using marijuana and other drugs.

4. Absurd orange man Donald Trump panics about ebola.

Among birther and general right-wing-nut Donald Trump’s most endearing qualities is his irrational germophobia. We’re talking germophobia of Howard Hughes proportions. Donald Trump does not even like to shake people's hands. So, of course, he went into a full-on panic at the news that the U.S. is bringing two Americans who have contracted the disease in Liberia to America for treatment. And when Trump panics, he tweets.

“Ebola patient will be brought to the U.S. in a few days—now I know for sure that our leaders are incompetent. KEEP THEM OUT OF HERE!”
