Unhinged Nutroots Reaction Thread

Tip me any you find in the comments.

Rocks sends this charmingly enlightened analysis.

A cynic might suggest that McCain - who has been awkwardly courting the more disaffected Hillblazers since Hillary Clinton lost her bid - chose Palin because he could use her as a stronger selling point to PUMAs. And this cynic is suggesting it’s part of the reason.

True, it’s not as simple as all that. McCain wants to balance his ticket with someone who doesn’t remember the League of Nations. And how better to deflect the full impact of Barack Obama’s historical acceptance speech at Mile High Stadium than with historic news of his own? But based on his continued insistent pandering to a demographic not traditionally receptive to the GOP, his line of thinking can’t be far from this: “Man, those bitches really loved Hillary. If I can get them to vote for me, I bet I can win this thing. What if I ask my painted trollop cunt wife to run with me? Nah, no one will buy that. What if I ask some other trollop? Feminists don’t care about womens issues, they just want to see one of their own in power. They’ll eat this shit up.”

I feel McNasty just skimming the Arizona Senator’s mind. If anyone needs me I’ll be throwing up, or as McCain inaccurately and archaically terms it, “sojourning in the vomitorium.”

Nuance. Layers. Progressive thought.

And Andrew Sullivan Demonstrates That Not-Charming Lack of Self Awareness We've Come to Not Love:

[McCain is] willing to let personal liking and respect for utterly unqualified people trump the sober responsibilities of running a country at war...

Hmm... kinda like your mancrush on Obama leads you to think this zero-experience piker is ready to be CinC?

Previewing Josh Marshall's Racial Decoder Ring: BigE--

I'm sorry, there's one thing that concerns me on this pick. How can we be sure that Obama won't just steal her away and make her part of his haram of white women? Wait a minute I get it now. McCain made this pick to subtly play on my gutwrenching fear that black men are going to steal all of our white women. My god, how could I have missed it. McCain's pick of Sara Palin for Vice President is RACIST!!1!1!
