right-wing nervous breakdown

"Fox News, health care, and the right-wing nervous breakdown"
[
Watching Fox News personalities recently come unglued as the realization set in
that (surprise!) Democrats might actually have the votes to pass health care
reform -- and noting how extraordinarily loopy and dire both the attacks on the
White House, and the proclamations for pending, apocalyptic doom were becoming
-- I was getting nervous that one of Fox News' more unhinged hosts might finally
just snap and pull a Rev. Jim Jones, beseeching viewers to make the ultimate
sacrifice.
Honestly, unless you've been monitoring the ticking time bomb that is the
far-right media in recent days, you probably don't appreciate how frighteningly
possible that cultish scenario has become, as the GOP Noise Machine, led by Fox
News, publicly suffers a nervous breakdown. It's a mental and emotional collapse
that's been advertised in recent days as cablers, radio talkers, and right-wing
bloggers have reached for increasingly hysterical, often blood-curdling rhetoric
to describe the irreversible atrocity -- an incurable, metastasizing
malignancy!! -- that's about to seize and destroy the United States in the form
of a bill to expand health care coverage.
Listening to the calamitous warnings (i.e. "the end of America as we know it"),
it's not that unreasonable to think that at some point one of the media mob
leaders is going to suggest that life itself just is no longer worth living.

I caught a few minutes of Faux "news".
They could not go 30 seconds without at least one lie.
Melting down ....

Kinda like the night you demanded someone's address thinking they
wouldn't post it, but they DID.
THAT was a classic deer in the headlights look we'll all remember....

"Try posting your real address just once and I will
guarantee you a visit."
-Too Many Tools, 6/2/09, right before
he scrambled for excuses not to show up.
"Got a valid address yet winger?
I would like to arraign[sic] a visit for you."
-Too Many Tools, 6/19/09, still hoping
someone actually believes him.
"Give us a valid address and we can arraign [sic] a playdate with some
friends."
-Too Many Tools 7-1-2009 STILL trying to get
someone to believe him
"Show a picture of your mailbox then...with you in front of it. ;<)"
-Too Many Tools 7-2-2009 changing the conditions in
another desperate attempt to weasel out of visiting
"Provide the information and you will receive a visit."
-Too Many Tools, 9-16-2009, yet again making promises
he has no intention of keeping.
"Why don't you provide us with a valid name and address ...and we will
arrange a visit for you."
-Too Many Tools, 9-20-2009, yet *again* making promises
he has no intention of keeping.
"Got your real address yet?"
-Too Many Tools, 3-4-2010, STILL trying to make believe
he can work up the courage to "visit" someone.
"Did you post a real address yet?"
-Too Many Tools, 3-4-2010, wanting so hard to convince
anyone who will listen...
