re: #310 Killgore Trout

I applaud Ed for noticing that the Trump freakshow is stupid and bad for Republicans. Hot Air has avoided the Birther stuff but they have also peddled every bogus Brietbart/O’Keefe video. bogus polls from Rasmussen, Bogus statistics from the Heritage Inst and Cato, and never denounced Glenn Beck or 9-11 truthers on Fox.Hot Air has done its fair share to keep the Republican base ignorant, crazy and stupid. It’s a little late to start complaining about the opportunists who come in to take advantage of the misinformed wingnuts.

That’s the problem. The bar is set so low that anybody who isn’t a birther is deemed “serious” and moderate.
