How pathetic — and how utterly in character

The wingnuts are out in force, expressing their eagerness to continue spreading hatred and discord.

Robert at American and Proud:

I will not be calling Obama MY president,I will refer to Obama as the chimp in charge, I will use the term fascist/socialist and terrorist when speaking of B. Hussein Obama.

Notice the overt racism. Nothing like a little setback to prompt a wingnut to show his true colors, is there?

Raven at And Rightly So:

It appears, from early results, that Barry Hussein will be the next leader of our country. (note, I will NOT ever refer to him as my President)… One thing about this election: The alcohol business will see a boom! From people like ME!

Things don’t go the way Raven would like, and her answer is to get drunk. That’s pretty typical of the extreme self-centeredness one finds among the wingnuts.

“Emperor” Misha at Anti-Idiotarian Rottweiler:

Welcome to the jungle. You’re now behind enemy lines with all odds against you, everyone is a potential enemy and you’re facing a long, uphill, seemingly hopeless battle.

That’s right, folks. Dare to disagree with Misha, and you’re an enemy. One wonders who this morally bereft murder-lover is going to target first.

Big Dog:

I swore to protect this country against all enemies foreign and domestic and I believe that Barack Obama is a domestic enemy.

Big Dogshit is no better than Misha. Wingnuts need an enemy — they exist only to hate.

Cao (better known round these parts as Lizard Bitch):

My advice? Make sure you have guns in the house.

In response to an Obama victory , the first thing — the only thing — that Cao can think of is violence. She is the living embodiment of Asimov’s dictum: “Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent.”

Dan Paden:

I hope you have a pair of running shoes. Seriously. I think the likelihood that we will face more terrorist attacks on our soil has just gone up dramatically, and the difference between life and death may someday come down to your ability to put a couple of miles between yourself and whatever sort of unmitigated **** is coming down around your ears. I know I’ll be putting in a few miles a week, just to maintain my ability to do so.

Shorter Dan Paden: BE AFRAID! BE AFRAID! BE AFRAID! OOGA-BOOGA-BOOGA!

To sum up: The wingnuts will continue to push their ideals of fear, hatred, division, and anger. They know nothing else. They will continue to marginalize themselves — and to be utterly clueless about why they are marginalized.

UPDATE 11/05/08 2:12 PM EST: John Cole has a bang-on commentary on right-wing blogs:

To say they ate their seed corn is to wildly underestimate the damage they have done to their online presence, because if you just ate your seed corn, there would at least be a short-term benefit. More accurately, they chewed up their seed corn, spit it out, stomped on it, defecated on it, then grabbed it and smeared it on their chests to form the words “WHITEY TAPE.” These idiots spent the last six months chasing the whitey tape, questioning his patriotism, calling Obama a Muslim, panty-sniffing for an Obama affair, calling Obama a terrorist and socialist and you name it, and the country shrugged. Any future Republican campaign will need to rely on the “intellectual” arguments of thoroughly discredited propaganda organs like the Weekly Standard and the NRO, and we now have six months worth of their stupidity on file to throw in their faces and discredit them in the future.
