You know, “The Under-Gods” might make a snappy band name.

Through the “miracle” of “punctuation,” we can “clarify” Kaye’s “sentence.” (Additions in [brackets]):

“This would tie the hands of groups fighting to ignore or totally abolish the rights ? especially the religious rights [--] of Americans[, by] favoring the cultures of other countries above those in America.”

Not that it suddenly makes sense, but at least now you can tell what kind of nonsense it makes.

Exactly, Kristin. They will say things like “Most of the people in this country are Christian! This is a Christian country!” (Pandagon reported a columnist — David Frum? — actually saying America is *95%* Christian) and will mutter about the brown people sullying their nationhood, but Howard Dean makes an accurate statement and suddenly it’s HOW DARE YOU!

What I don’t get, in all the right-wing shrieking about Howard Dean’s remarks, is that they’re acting like he wasn’t correct. The Republicans *are* disproportionately white Christians, in terms of the racial and religious demographics of this country. Trust me, Christian liberals are getting harder and harder to find these days. And there *are* more Republicans than Democrats who have never worked for the salary range between minimum wage and below cost-of-living.

Howard Dean didn’t become an M.D., or become Governor (a permanent title) of Vermont so that an ignorant harpy bitch like you could call him “Mr.” Dean.

She almost gets it. She almost, but not quite gets it. We should have impeached President Chauncey Gardiner on the spot. Absolutely. But then we should have fought the right war, which is what we did. We went into Afghanistan. Now, of course, the Taliban are back in Afghanistan because we abandoned it for the stupid ass motherfucker’s Iraq fiasco. But that’s where that little lame-brain broad with a forum drifts off the reservation.

But she almost got it. Not bad for a woman with less brains than a baby’s loaded diaper.

We should have dropped to our knees, right there on the streets of New York, in towns all over America

I’m pretty sure it’s impossible for people in towns all over America to also be in New York dropping to their knees.

our infighting has almost destroyed what our nation has built for the past 229 years

Uh, no, I’m pretty sure any destruction to the nation can be pretty squarely placed at the feet of people who want to destroy the Constitution and replace it with Dominionism. You know, wingnuts. You.

Oh, but the quotation “marks” were “funny.”

As I wingnut connoisseur, I must say that I prefer Kaye’s light, airy kook and softly textured incompetence to Debbie’s rustic ignorance and long-lingering manure aftertaste.

If that happens, Vestal Vespa, let’s all hope it’s towards a ceiling fan. Sweet Lordy-Gordy, what do these two women do, start the day with a big heaping Bowl O’ Crazy?

*ourobors = ouroboros
stupid typos

I also like how each clause seems to spawn its own tangental sub-sentance. It’s like some inverted Ourobors crapping its own head.

Frankly, I’m suprised that sentances like this haven’t fully devoured all human language yet.

I know, I can’t believe that sentence didn’t create a liguistic black hole that sucked the rest of the column into itself.

Maybe it’s time to go back and do a little research on who came up with the brilliant . . . but not so brilliant long term decision, to allow people of other cultures to come over and challenge the American traditional values ? which would be grounds to be executed or thrown out of foreign countries ? if the roles were reversed.
I like the way this sentance satiricly throws out the word “brilliant”, only to dryly refute its own sarcasm three periods later. I also like how each clause seems to spawn its own tangental sub-sentance. It’s like some inverted Ourobors crapping its own head.

I must “commend” the leaders of the Philippines for trying to build “patriotism”

I wonder if she does airquotes in real life, like Chris Farley from SNL, to the point where she starts to flutter away.

Debbie’s & Kaye’s ideal country: the United Christian States of Fuck All Y’all, with Savior Bush as Christ-King on Earth.Wow. It sounds like the Avian Flu has already infected these two birdbrains. (Apologies to my lovebird, who is far wittier and more intelligent than any of the fuckwits at Renew America.)
