At time it is difficult to describe the intensity of the swamp fever and hate that now infect the Republican Party base in Virginia and elsewhere. If one wants to see how the rise of Hitler and the Holocaust occurred in Germany in the 1930's, look no further than the base of the Republican Party of Virginia 2014. The reaction of the Christofascists/Tea Party to Attorney General Mark Herring's decision to cease defending Virginia's gay marriage bans continues to give new meaning to the term batshitery. Never mind that (i) Mark Herring IS upholding the U.S. Constitution which trumps the Virginia Constitution. and (ii) both Ken Cuccinelli and Jerry Kilgore set the precedent for not defending laws they deemed unconstitutional (in Kilgore's case, like Herring, the refusal involved a provision of the Virginia Constitution) . Blue Virginia has compiled some of the insanity that now is deemed rational discourse within the GOP base in Virginia. Blue Virginia has assembled examples of this sick insanity. Note the totally untrue claims of election fraud and attacks on Northern Virginia, one of Virginia's economic dynamos that pays far more than its share in supporting Virginia's budget. Note: the spelling errors set out below are from the far right commentators. Here are excerpts:
As you're probably aware, the far-right, theocratic, and otherwise cuckoo-for-Cocoa-Puffs wing of the Virginia Republican Party is in full meltdown mode over Attorney General Mark Herring's gay marriage announcement the other day. Case in point: Ken Cuccinelli's Facebook page, and specifically the comments in reaction to his posting of the image to the far right (appropriately enough) of this post. Check out a few examples of the insanity below, not to mention the utter idiocy (e.g., English grammar totally optional and typos mandatory, such as spelling "liar" as "lier;" "riddled" as "riddeled;" "election" as "Ellection;" "Presidential" as "Presidental;" "break" as "brake;" etc.; etc.) and anti-LGBT hysteria. Craaaaaaaazy!
Allegations of Democrats Stealing the Election via "Voter Fraud," etc.
*"i knew this was going to happen the moment i saw how the elections were riddeled with voter fraud. they wish to push their anti gun, pro abortion and pro gay agenda as quickly as possible."
*"I would not be surprised if these elections were rigged. Obama, was not elected with majority."
*"We MUST clean up VOTER FRAUD=NOW, BEFORE the Upcomeing Nov. 2014 Election's, & the 2016 Presidental Ellection!!! NOW!"
*"if we do not stand to liberals and their affinity to brake the law and cause voter fraud we will have a divided and destroyed United States."
*"Thank God Glenn Beck exposed the fraud between Libertarians and the Democrats."
*"DC has taken over our state and I think the election here in NOV. was all about FRAUD !!!!!"
Northern Virginia Needs to Go!
*"Man, what a sad time for VA. It sickens me to see such a great state turning into one of the liberal petri dishes of the north. NOVA just needs to be given to DC."
*"If Fairfax would join DC and leave Virginia we would be a much different state ... large percent of people in N VA are imports and bring the NJ NY mindset with them ....."
*"Can the Commonwelth rid Themselves of Fairfax and Arlington counties then we would be Red Again need to start a remove Northern VA from the rest of VA."
*"Take Arlington and separate it from the rest of the state and give Arlington to DC. Problem solved."
Don't Ask Me How, but It Relates to Obama!!!
*"Well, now Obama has his own little puppet AG."
*"There's an agenda going on here and apparently only some of us see it. I didn't vote for Obama or any democrats in Va. I find it hard to believe after the first 4 years went bad, Obama was elected again."
*"Those oaths used to mean something, until Obama took office."
*"So help me Obama."
*"If he doesn't support the constitution SOMEONE better bring him up on treason charges and let let him destroy our state like Obama is destroying our country and no one is stopping him."
*"Herring is an obamazombie. He is a disgrace and should be impeached immediately..."
*"Didn't Obama take the same oath???"
*"He swears to support the laws he likes- just like Eric Holder and Obama!"
*"Youll be Obamas enemy for taking that oath"
As I have said before, to be a Republican nowadays, one needs to either be consumed by greed, have had a lobotomy, be an active member of the KKK or some other white supremacy group, or a religious extremist extraordinaire. I am increasingly embarrassed that I was ever a Republican.
