In the course of considering Peak Wingnut Theory, John Cole discovers Erick Erickson of Red State staying classy by booming a National Enquirer story about the possibility that, as Erickson puts it, “Barack Obama had an underage, gay affair with a pedophile.” That’s a pretty interesting way to describe what may have happened between the two. Obama met Frank Marshall Davis when Obama was ten years old. When people discuss (possible) sexual contact between ten-year-old boys who are not their political enemies and grown men, they usually refer to the “underage gay affairs” as sexual abuse. They also recognize that adults who have been abused may or may not wish to tell the whole world the details, and they respect it. Admittedly, most people are not members of the NAMBLA wing of the Republican Party, or, failing that, curdled into pure meanness. Maybe Erickson just holds with the more sweeping theories about the cultural construction of the age of consent. Whatever the reason, he’s sure that that little vixen, ten-year-old Barry Obama, was asking for it man.
When Mr. Henley fails to understand here is that Mr. Davis, like Mark Foley before him, was seduced by a sluttish underage boy, as part of an elitist plan orchestrated by ACORN to make Michael Moore svelt by using Rachael Ray’s headscarf as a sail on a Frenchified windsurf board which he would ride around a crescent-shaped 9/11 memorial until the Bible was banned! Also, after we broke the BTKWB limit, a wormhole to a parallel Wingnuttoverse was created right over Gary Glitter’s guest cottage at Neverland ranch, giving Mr. Erickson access to an inexhaustible supply of sub-Malkin thigh-rubbing pedophile nonsense CITIZEN JOURNALISM!!!
Also, Barack Obama is going to be President, the Democrats may have a veto-proof Senate majority, and Paul K’thrugman won the Nobel Prize. Wingnuttia is a city coming down from its trip, and there are going to be a lot of refugees. Order of the Shrill tee shirts are now on sale.
… Dan Reihl keeps it classy:
Okay, to summarize – from the time he was a child until he was a young man, I guess, Barack Obama drank whiskey, wrote dirty limericks, read poetry and, um, was counseled by a sexual deviant, child molester, rapist of children? That about cover it? And in his book he said it had a lasting effect on him? Damn. That could actually be very sad.
That may be worse than his having been counseled by Jeremiah Wright.
No wonder he says “Pakit-stan” in that funny way of his! heh!
Barack Obama’s list of known mentors now includes child rapists (“Uncle Frank” Marshall), racists (Rev. Jeremiah Wright) and terrorists (Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dorn).
When is someone going to question how these associations must have warped Obama’s views and render him unstable, and unsuitable for the Presidency?
Conservatism belongs in DSM-V.

I had a gay affair with a Republican pollster/polestirrer who I took advantage of by not telling the world of our secret love for 30-some years, and all I got was this lousy T-shirt:

It bothers me to remember, but wasn’t it John McCain who not too many weeks ago attacked Barack Obama for supporting a bill to help kids recognize and report child sexual predators?
Just sayin’.

Dear Editors
I am proud to report that I am, right now, as I type wearing my order of the Shrill T-Shirt (really). I’ve been wearing it since the Shrill one won the prize (don’t worry I’m in Europe, you won’t be able to smell me for like weeks).
I have 2 questions.
1) is there a short sleeve version ?
2) is there an XXX L version for Michael Moore ?
3) is there an XXX version featuring Rachel Ray wearing only a headscarf while windsurfing ?
(note *I* have only 2 questions the third was typed by someone else).

The peak-wingnut question is an interesting one. Just when did that bubble burst? Is there a chart? (Hint, hint.)
October 14, 2008 at 6:40 am
Leave it to the wingnuts to cheer pedophilia if it could remotely advance their agenda.
No, they’re not insane. That gives them an out. Just evil.
October 14, 2008 at 6:42 am
There will never be peak wingnut. Even Cole abandoned that crazy theory already.

Our dancing hero understands.
Conservatism is not a privilege or responsibility, but an individual right! Quite simply, there must be a place for people who are always wrong. But postmodernism has allowed the competent to believe that God and The Founding Fathers might also be on their side.
Damn these postmodernists. Damn them straight to hell!

“Conservatism belongs in DSM-V.”
I understand what you’re saying, and even agree with much of it.
Considering what happens in other countries though (often to liberals), and could very conceivably happen in ours (to liberals), and considering that homosexuality was in the DSM, I just don’t find the statement above more ironic and scary than funny.

An ordinary 10-year old might have been traumatized by sexual abuse, but don’t forget who we are dealing with here. The One (a.k.a. That One) was nourished by it. As the putrid soul of his tormenter sunk ever deeper into the foul abyss with every lascivious perversion, Obama fed off him, gaining strength for that Great Destiny which lay ahead.
