What I find interesting about the treasonists is how they are ramping up the “racist” and “Hitler” articles on Trump more and more every day out desperation. When that grows old on the public like it’s doing now, then what are they going to do? I wonder if they will start stamping their feet like children going into temper tantrums. Pass the popcorn.

Rubio is a war mongering lunatic. OK, he pretends to be so he can get the neocons behind him.

If he really means half of what he says, Trump actually is more sane.

Sadly, not even standing in the middle of gibbering imbeciles could not make Amanda look sensible.

And Ted Cruz is insane because why? This is the state of America nowadays. You have an insignificant scribbler like Amanda Marcotte who basically writes gibberish but is taken seriously by millions of people.

What exactly is it that Ted Cruz espouses that is insane? Belief in following the constitution? You mean Cruz wouldn't make it up as he goes along like King Barack?

Basically, Marcotte is upset because she knows Cruz would try to halt the "basic transformation" of America that King Barack began.

Remember the author was once the “Official Blogger” of the Silky Pony presidential campaign; he had to fire her because she was too nutty even for him.

Time also described Marcotte's blogging as "provocative and profanity-laced."

On January 30, 2007, the John Edwards 2008 presidential campaign hired Marcotte to act as the campaign's blogmaster.

In January 2007, Marcotte wrote controversial statements about the Duke lacrosse case, including that people who defended the accused were "rape-loving scum". A few months before all charges were dropped in the case, on a blog post titled "Stuck at the airport again....." Marcotte wrote in part, "Can’t a few white boys sexually assault a black woman anymore without people getting all wound up about it? So unfair."

This is why we must fear Trump: He makes the insane Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio look sensible

You got rattlesnakes under your burqa?

This is Amanda Marcotte, whose vile blasphemy of Christ, one can only hope, will be punished in the age to come.

From Wikipedia page on Amanda Marcotte:
On January 30, 2007, the John Edwards 2008 presidential campaign hired Marcotte to act as the campaign's blogmaster. She was soon criticized for her previous work. The campaign responded that, while Edwards was "personally offended" by some of Marcotte's remarks, her job as their blogmaster was secure.

In January 2007, Marcotte wrote controversial statements about the Duke lacrosse case, including that people who defended the accused were "rape-loving scum". A few months before all charges were dropped in the case, on a blog post titled "Stuck at the airport again....." Marcotte wrote in part, "Can't a few white boys sexually assault a black woman anymore without people getting all wound up about it? So unfair." The post attracted criticism, including from The New York Times. Cathy Young described Marcotte as a leader of a "cyber-lynch mob," writing that, "in Marcotte's eyes, the real crime of the independent feminists is helping preserve the idea that the presumption of innocence applies even in cases of rape and sexual assault." Marcotte later deleted the post.

On February 12, 2007, the Catholic League called Marcotte's review of the film Children of Men "anti-Christian". Later the same day, Marcotte announced that she had resigned from the Edwards campaign, accusing Bill Donohue of a sexist perspective in the calls for her resignation. She returned to her work on other blogs. In an article for Salon a few days later, she said the reaction to her comments on the Duke lacrosse case was the first in a series of "shitstorms" that had prompted her to resign from the campaign.

The Wikipedia page contains footnotes and references within this part of the article; some are clickable. I have deleted them from this excerpt for the sake of readability.

Oops, she was relieved of her position in the Edwards campaign a few days later, it would appear.

From the Washington Post:

Days after Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards decided against firing two liberal bloggers with a history of inflammatory writing, one resigned last night with a blast at "right wing shills" for driving her out of the campaign.

Amanda Marcotte, whose writings were assailed as anti-Catholic, wrote yesterday on her blog that the Edwards camp had accepted her resignation. She blamed her most vocal critic, Bill Donohoe, president of the Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights, writing that he "and his calvacade of right wing shills don't respect that a mere woman like me could be hired for my skills, and pretended that John Edwards had to be held accountable for some of my personal, non-mainstream views on religious influence on politics," which Marcotte described as being "anti-theocracy."

I think we have almost reached the point where, except for the die-hard University Left, when the word “racism” is thrown at Republican candidates, it’s like the “Far Side” cartoon: “What we say, what dogs hear.”
