Wednesday Wingnut Watch
It was a great week for wingnuts. Hey, it usually is! Let’s take a look, shall we?
Boy, that Tea Party movement is really taking off, all over America. It’s spreading like wildfire to places like Franklin, NC, Stuart Florida, and Ashtabula Ohio. And what about the big controversy it caused in the city of Burleson, Texas. Tea Party organizers got upset because somebody who is (isn’t?) a city employee threatened to deny them a permit for the event. The teabaggers flooded city hall with emails and phone calls, until, finally, the city manager explained, “Folks, you don’t need a permit for this. Have fun.”
So… it’s on! One week from today, across the street from the Burlseon Wal-Mart on Wilshire. For their sake, let’s hope it’s more exciting than the Tea Party last month in Rochester, which was reported here at Wingnut Watch but pretty much no place else. Then again, how much attention can you give to eleven people who deliver speeches to one another, march over to the river to throw their teabags in, then go hang around outside the convention center for a while while TV cameras are inside covering the governor, then, uh, decide that’s enough, time to split up and go home.
Somewhere in this great land, a lone wingnut is doing good for America… anonymously. Thanks to salon.com for their new weekly feature, right up our alley, “Ask a Wingnut.”
From an undisclosed location, a conservative answers your questions about why his people do what they do.
…“Ask a Wingnut” is written by a real live conservative and former Bush official who chooses to remain anonymous.
This week, he explains the MSM’s leftward skew. Sorry, I’ll translate. MSM is “Main Steam Media.” MSM is conservative shorthand for anything not FBM ( “Fair & Balanced Media”) such as Fox News, talk radio, etc.
It is undeniable that the U.S. elite media — what both liberals and conservatives sometimes call the “mainstream media,” or MSM — skews to the left. From the news pages to the editorial pages to the Op-Ed pages — where even the conservatives tend to be statists (we call them “big government conservatives”) — the liberal point of view on any issue receives more favorable treatment than the conservative one.
The examples he used were, well… kinda lame and boring. Rest assured, The Bee is watching and will bring you anything interesting from the Secret Masked Wingnut.
The FBI is concerned about massive civil unrest when public learns that Obama is not eligible to be president, according to a recently revealed non-classified white paper not written by the FBI. The other day I stopped in to visit one of my favorite local wingnut cyber watering holes, and discovered they’ve become even loopier than ever. Take a gander:
Tasked by the FBI to provide “informational analysis” on conditions which could be construed as potentially harmful to civil order and national security, InfraGard, of the FBI’s National Infrastructure Protection Center (NIPC), issued an unclassified Protective Intelligence Communication report in March 2009 regarding the “crescendo” of public concern about Mr. Obama’s presidential eligibility.
Authored by Dr. Lyle J. Rapacki, Protective Intelligence Specialist and Agent, the report summarizes the substance of legal challenges to Mr. Obama on the question of his constitutional eligibility and concludes that if it “should be discovered Mr. Obama is ineligible, a constitutional crisis would ensue attempting to determine which of his executive branch orders should be valid.”
Wow, the FBI is seriously concerned about President Obama! Jeepers creepers… another cover-up by the MSM. Or, gee, maybe the whole thing is phoney baloney. Look all you want on the Infragrad website… the so-called report is not there. The “report” appeared on a few fringy wingnut blogs but not anyplace else. The author, “Dr. Lyle J. Rapacki,” is a self-proclaimed expert on the occult who has a history of concocting ridiculous nonsense, including his own non-existent credentials. Neither of the two organizations Rapacki claims to be active in, Infragrad -Arizona and ASIS Phoenix Chapter list him as an officer or member on their websites.
Makes me wonder about those conservative watering holes. Maybe it’s something in the water. Hey, Water Authority… what’s up?
If you come across any great wingnuttery, please send it along so I can share it with our readers in the RT community. sbr (at) rochesterturning.com
