Here’s something hilarious to start off the week, as the moronic, humor-impaired Daily Kos Kidz completely lose it over Iowahawk’s latest satire: The Latest in the New McCarthyism. (Hat tip: Soxblog.)

McCarthyism!

Armando writes, with touching sincerity:

F*cking pricks. You goosestepping McCarthyites.

Now go cry to momma. You yellow-bellied elephants.

Bwahahahaha!

And don’t miss Markos himself, defensively explaining in his characteristic leaden, error-filled prose: How the Islamic crazies are like the Right.

Religion in government

Al Qaida/Taliban: One and the same
American Taliban: One and the same
Liberals: Separation of church and state

Schools

Al Qaida/Taliban: Religious indoctrination. Run by clergy.
American Taliban: School prayer. Religious indoctrination (creationism and “intelligent design”). Private religious school system.
Liberals: Leave religious teachings to parents and sunday school.

Women

Al Qaida/Taliban: No school, must cover entire body, no rights
American Taliban: Government control over reproductive freedoms, hostility to Title IX, hostility to working women
Liberals: Equality of the sexes

Religious freedom

Al Qaida/Taliban: ‘Think like us, or we’ll whiip you and/or chop off your head’
American Taliban: ‘Think like us, or we’ll condemn you to hell’
Liberals: To each her own

Homosexuality

Al Qaida/Taliban: Eradicate them from society
American Taliban: Eradicate them from society
Liberals: Equality under the law

This ties in beautifully with Ted Rall’s latest eruption of bile: Karl Rove: Worse than Osama bin Laden.

Markos Moulitsas Zuniga is #52 on Bernard Goldberg’s list of 100 People Who Are Screwing Up America : (and Al Franken Is #37).
