"While FR remains a, for the most part, a gathering place for good, rational conservatives, there is no doubt there is a growing number of cranks and oddballs, that often make borderline lunatic condemning judgments on good people, based on some goofy tic of their own."

You've been around FR longer than I have. IMHO, this really doesn't seem much difference than the lead up to the 2000, 2004 and 2008 primaries, albeit the stakes seem a little higher each cycle...

Remember the Buchanan Brigades from 2000?!?!

Perhaps. But you sure do see a lot of maniacal condemnation of people the posting perp probably agrees with on 90% of issues.

Take the current item in question. donna is terrified that there is some sort of unpunished sodomy going on somewhere. So she actually believes and asserts that a guy like Breitbart is no conservative because he isn't quite as obsessed with the issue as she is, so unconcerned that he actually courts the political support of the sodomy practitioners on fiscal issues.

Because practitioners of gay sex don't repulse Breitbart to the point that he doesn't want their support in electing small government types, he is no conservative in donna's blinder-covered eyes. He's just one of them goddamn libertines and can go burn in hell with his perverted pals. Never mind everything he's done to balance the left/right media equation.

There seems to be a large contingent of donnas around here lately.
