Malkin: "Radical leftist GOP candidate Dede Scozzafava quits"
Dunno why, I decided to visit Michelle Malkin's site to see if she had attacked Obama over handing out Halloween candy.

Anyway, that is her headline about NY23.

"RADICAL LEFTIST"

These people are NUTS. Seriously do they believe this crazy crap or are they just parodying themselves?

1. I would say--The RADICAL RIGHT WINGNUTS have pushed
a Moderate Republican out of the party. This is par for
the course.

The GOP have become as radical or more radical as the Radical
Left of the 1960s.

6. The American "left"
Edited on Sun Nov-01-09 01:40 PM by TheBigotBasher
have moved much further to the right as well, DLC Democrats would be further to the right of almost every European Conservative Party (or equivalent - except the Porno Pres in Italy maybe).

The GOP are just moving further and further towards corporate fascism. A path the Democratic Party needs to stop following. In any other sensible Country - Snowe would be an extremist, not the centre.

Adding: There are those who claim to have been associated with Democrats, who try to push the meme Palin is a moderate and should be promoted because she is a woman (here is looking at you PUMAs). The Palin endorsement of the extreme Conservative candidate, over the head of the official candidate who also happened to be a woman, shows she is not.

Palin and the new GOP are the Party of hate.

5. This is the time honored way to purge the impure.
At first, only radical leftists were radical leftists. Then, liberals became radical leftists too. After a while, nearly all Democrats were discovered to be radical leftists. Now it turns out that many Republicans are radical leftists also.

In the not too distant future, the Malkinite world will consist only of her devoted believers and radical leftists. There will be no other category to choose from.

7. To the GOP, she was a radical leftist supporting abortion, gay rights and
was sympathetic to unions. Heck even some dems do not meet that criteria.

9. "radical leftist GOP"??
OK, I realize that Michelle Magashangalangadingdong never makes sense, but even by her admittedly low standards, that's just fucking incomprehensible.

Hell, we can't even find a radical leftist in the Democratic party, much less the Repukes. :rofl:

10. yeeearrrrgggghhhhh!!!
The scary types come out on Halloween, all right.

I suppose there is a funny side to it all, but let us not forget that this nuttery has been going on for a long time, and sometimes with dire results. E.g. in 1946, when Wisconsin Republicans purged their liberal Republican senator La Follette in favour of a more RW candidate called Joe McCarthy....

And in 1975 British Tories purged their moderate Tory leader Heath in favour of Maggie Thatcher and the results were pretty bad. Nonetheless, your extreme right-wingers are really extreme. In a Europaean country, a healthcare programme that was partially privatized but included a public option would be regarded as *right* wing. A healthcare programme that included no public option would be regarded as inconceivable.
