I agree with your assessment of the wackos in Crawford. Personally, I think instead of exploiting that woman's grief, they should get her some help. Obviously, she has had some sort of breakdown.
Hopefully, this will make everyone feel better: we need those nutcases outside of the President's ranch. We need them because the average American thinks they're as crazy as we do. They are the face of the opposition; not the well reasoned, thoughful opposition. The opposition they represent is the insane, hate everyone, against all things American. Thanks to the sympathetic MSM, they won't learn that being a rebel also usually means you're in the minority.
That's the reasoning I use to get me through the days of craziness!
As Gore, Dean, Kerry, Baldwin, Streisand and others have shown us, liberalism is a mental disease and breakdowns seem to be quite common.
