Riding the crazy train straight off the cliff.

Plenty of hungry lions waiting to pounce on the meat too.

Poor John, he just can't win :(

Also!

Heh. I sometimes wonder if she doesn’t know how crazy this kind of thing sounds, or if she’s just throwing out the red meat like a zookeeper.

I'd put real money down that its the latter.

re: #1 thedopefishlives

Yup.

re: #3 windsagio

I'd put real money down that its the latter.

I'd be more inclined to say it's both: She has no idea how nutty it is, and she doesn't care because it plays well to the masses.

mmm...gamey buttocks...

the important thing to remember from her point of view is...
what's it worth to me

I just posted down thread that Hot Air is getting flack for not being conservative enough.

At the rate he's going, McCain is going to be about as well loved as Joe Lieberman. Wingnuts and Teabaggers hate him because he's a radical progressive, conservatives hate him because he's such a coward he's trying to blame Bush 43 for his suspending his campaign, moderates find his cowardice in the face of the Tea Party despicable, and liberals see him as a wing-nut based on his non-reaction to seeing his own campaign finance law skewered by the SCOTUS. Oh, and Cindy probably still resents his staring at Sarah's ass every time they were on stage together...not to mention offering her up to the bikers at Sturgis...that's still got to burn her britches.

I voted the man, but I didn't like it. But I voted nonetheless.

Well, later folks.

I like what Scott Brown did yesterday. He showed you can be a member of the GOP, but vote across party lines on occasion. He threw down that marker early and it was smart on many levels. It's what his constituents wanted (good) and it showed the radicals on both sides that he is a man of the political cernter (better).

I really like the way Michelle Malkin's eyeballs bulge out when she gets excited in the course of her rants. Sort of reminds me of my corgi when she gets excited and starts barking.

To me it doesn't sound so much like a zookeeper throwing red meat as a... umm... err... uh... I guess you can't really fling bowels of broth at asylum inmates can you?

re: #15 jamesfirecat

Sure you can. Time travel to Victorian England. It costs a shilling a bowl.

If McCain is a "radical progressive," then I guess that make 0bama an insane murderous anarchist and Ron Paul is a moderate.

I like what he did as well, but it was only one vote. There will be votes of his I know I'll disagree with in the future, but that's okay too. I don't know if he's a 'man of the political center' yet or not, but I do think he set a good example for his party. Granted, I don't ever expect McConnell to vote for a Democratic proposal, but Brown at least gave Snowe and Collins the courage to do the right thing yesterday, and Bond and Voinovich showed that they care more about their constituents than they do about beating up the President...for once.

You pretty much nailed it right on the head. Just look at CPAC.

Wow, what a difference a day makes. I wake up this morning to find that John McCain is a "radical progressive" and Hot Air is "not conservative enough.

It's a mad, mad world.

Malkin has some serious McCain derangement going on.

Shoot, you just took the words out of my mouth:

"Radical Progressive" You know, if they use these terms enough, it's just going to lose all meaning and we're going to have to start shifting to even more obtuse, convoluted descriptors.

Example:
John McCain is a Radical Progressive; what does that make Obama? He has to be more progressive than a Radical Progressive, so maybe he's an uber-Marxist Progressive?

Showing us the distinction between a party and a faction.

I think she's mistaken on her beef with McCain. Granted, McCain does deserve some of the guilt for the way republicans turned into big spenders over the last decade but he was one of the few voices of reason when it came to trying to control the spending frenzy. I don't know how much one senator can do when the rest of the place is going nuts with other peoples money.

Prediction: McCain beats Hayworth by 12 pts.

Slopping the gruel into bowls...

'bowels of broth' I won't even touch.

Time to ban hotdogs.

Because to this day, McCain refuses to admit his own individual responsibility for supporting the pre-socialization of the economy started under George W. Bush and continued under Obama. And fellow Republicans continue to whitewash McCain’s fiscal irresponsibility record.

Lol!

This also fits with Glenn Beck's theory that George Bush was also part of the Cloward Piven conspiracy to destroy America.

Screw the traitorous RINO maverick SOB. (Benedict Arnold also had some good military moments.)

I, of course, still giggle when people say that Obama is a radical progressive, so this new terminology may take me a while.

Wow. that's. Im' at a loss.

I totally thought that only us Donks had circular firing squad vik'd out so much.

It's not a conspiracy when it's done out in the open.

Yeah, what was it that Beck called Bush? It was either a liberal or a progressive. I think they're delving into Alex Jones territory here. No surprise.

I love the way people's military service is an object for reverence right up to the point where they annoy you politically.

Kerry, Murtha, McCain...

She is throwing out red meat to the animals. I believe that makes it morally worse.

Kerry and Murtha both took public shots at our service members in the public forum. McCain did not.

Just sayin'

If McCain is a radical progressive than I am a Communist. As for Brown I am not shocked to see parts of the right turn on him. I am amused at how quickly it was. however.

Well, to be fair, from the view point of the Gold Standard, Federal Income Tax is unconstitutional crowd, McCain was a radical progressive just like his hero, Teddy Roosevelt.

Well we all known what Teddy Roosevelt did, he was a trust buster,

And do you know what that is? Government imposing itself upon the free market!

Do you know who else wants to have the government be able to boss around the free market? COMMUNISTS!

re: #39 jamesfirecat

WE WILL CRUSH YOU!!!

The right's relationship with McCain is always tricky. Here's a handy key to figure out how they feel about him at any given moment:

1) No election is going on = RINO
2) He's involved in a primary = Radical leftist progressive marxist
3) He's secured the nomination despite their best efforts = Paragon of virtue and most patriotic individual since George Washington
4) He lost the election = Bus bait

The ultra wing conservatives remind me of Hamas more and more every day. They really have that victimhood/outrage/extremist/retrointelligence thing down. Likewise, they're not above eating their own.

I think it's time to Photoshop their signage with Elvis and dogs playing poker. They're there.

Compared to Michelle Malkin, I suppose John McCain would be a radical progressive.

As would I. On the other hand, as partisan rancor has increased over the last 5-8 years or so, I have noted that she has often happily lead the way, posting material that is obviously intended to be inflammatory.

Of late, any Republican who isn't in lockstep with the 'purity test' on ALL issues, has become a 'radical progressive'.

re: #37 HappyWarrior

The quickness wasn't shocking either. This day and age, it's a foregone conclusion that the first vote that can in any way be interpreted as not conforming to ideal conservativism immediately results in the application of the RINO (or radical progressive!) label.
