The joy of wingnuts devouring the Republican elite: WWE has a new tea party/wingnut antagonist called “Zeb Colter” who spends his time running down immigrants, especially Mexicans, and he comes complete with a Gadsen flag and various accouterments.

Anyway, on their show last night the WWE announcers mentioned (derisively) that the fans of Colter were the Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, and Alex Jones types - yes they mentioned those names explicitly.

Sure enough, today on Infowars the Alex Jones crowd is complaining:

[…]

This is part of the divide and conquer tactic of cultural subversion to manufacture racial division and to characterize the Tea Party, conservatives, libertarians, opponents of uncontrolled illegal immigration and constitutionalists as racist, extremist radicals who should be pushed to the fringes of the political discourse.

Now the demonization runs so deep that it’s even being bolstered by WWE wrestling.

The fact that WWE is owned by Vince and Linda McMahon, who are part of the Republican establishment, also tells us a lot about how grass roots conservatives and libertarians are viewed by those near the top of the power structure.

Also Jones was on someone’s show (I think Piers Morgan) ranting about this WWE character.

I wonder how far Vince McMahon is going to take this character? Is this his way of finding someone to blame for his wife’s second loss?

Also, apparently some Fox News show picked up on this WWE character and whined about it also.

Sure enough, the Brats are whining:
WWE SCORCHES TEA PARTY CHARACTER AS RACIST

And of course Twitchy whines in too:
WWE’s racist Tea Party villain as realistic as pro wrestling

Let the wingnuts and the rich-boy Republicans fight it out, I say.
