I think that the entire point to a lot of these guys is the "provoke" bit, which is why half of the rightwing blog posts about the show always included the "and it will drive those liberals NUTS." A.C.'s raison d'etre is to expend a large amount of effort into being "outrageous", just to get airtime and sell more books.

But, as said earlier on this thread and elsewhere, modern conservatism is pretty much boiled down to "we'll get those dirty hippies" and little else.

all this horseshit is intended not to amuse conservatives but to inflame liberals and so far it seems to be working like a charm

no one's really getting 'enraged' though are they?

Not really. It's like the reactions are more a mild irritation to a mild bemusement.

Of course, there are those who call for the hanging of all traitors, then start talking about people who disagree with Dear Leader...

More on hangin' the traitors, and that stupid Lincoln quote that some guy at the Moonie Times made up

don young calls for the execution of the people who represent 60%+ of US opinion... not newsworthy.

Frum says 'Watch Rome instead.' Which sounds like good advice.

If the Lincoln non-quote dustup is your thing, or if you just like hearing a jerk prevaricate, here's Greenwald vs Gaffney, regarding Gaffney's repetition of the non-quote. Gaffney's explanation is roughly I didn't mean we should literally hang Congress members, but those Congress members need to understand that their words have consequences, just as acts of treasonous dissent have consequences, and treasonous dissenters should be hanged. And, schoolmarmy lectures from Colmes.

really? i think the liberals are chuckling as they read the conservatives talking about piss poor the whole thing is. schadenfreude, etc. i have yet to see any 'inflamed' liberals.

Jeez, upon actually listening to the full Gaffney clip, this guy is a straight douche, and then starts nattering on about how Saddam actually had WMDs, supported terrorism against the U.S., wanted to ship these WMDs over in aerosol cans, etc. And more funnies when the guy busts out an FCC violation when actually challenged.

It's really scary that these assholes hold policy positions and get listened to at the highest levels.

next ep is coming on March 4th

Meanwhile, more comedy, courtesy of them hiring Michelle Malkin. I'm hoping that they give an hour-long show to each TownHall poster, just for full entertainment value.

ratings are in!
