The sad part?

The media is increasingly holding up these asswipes as legitimate representatives of opinions on the right.

Dammit!

Sad part? Get with the program! That’s the media’s main strategy! Been in place for some time — to marginalize the Right after Obama wins by relentlessly highlighting the worse of the extreme right as the representatives of conservatism. And it’s a plan that’s working well. Why do you think that Pat Buchanan is always a pundit on TV? Why does Huckabee have his own show? Why is Ron Paul and his followers getting so much press?

Not because the media LIKES these people. The media is promoting them BECAUSE those figures are so wacko-extreme that they discredit the rest of us.

Many many people are falling for this scheme. Unfortunately.
