Bob Cesca has a column out over there on Huffington Post entitled “What Doesn’t Kill The Far-Right Only Makes Them Crazier.” Clever title, Bob. And informative as well in how it details the whackjobiness going on among the GOP both in office and in the grass roots. Holy Crap, what kind of shitstorm did this Barack Obama victory stir up? Yeah, there are already Inpeach Obama Facebook groups up long before Obama takes the oath of office, Michelle Malkin is referring to OBama as “Overlord-Elect,” and Representative Broun is comparing Barack Obama to Hitler. These whack jovbs are trying to top each other or something? Surely that’s the only way to explain it, or some kind of mass hysteria linked to the GOP pea brain. Here’s a bit of fun from Cesca:

For the last eight years, we’ve observed Karl Rove’s non-reality based universe in which logic was entirely abandoned in lieu of whatever reality the administration invented in order to serve its ridiculous policies and to mask its glaring nincompoopery. Intellectually dishonest at best — destructive and criminal at worst.

This didn’t end on Election Day.

Since their thumpin’ last week, the far-right has pushed the crazy to eleven and snapped the knob clean off — an opening salvo of twisted hackery portending an insane four-to-eight years of attacks on the Obama administration. If the last seven days have been any indication, the far-right is shaping up to make the 1990s seem quaint — even erudite by comparison. That which used to be your basic, off-the-shelf intellectual dishonesty has grown into, as Digby pointed out recently, full-on intellectual violence.

Intellectual violence. While not a new term, it perfectly defines what we’re seeing now: accusations and smears that so severely confound logic they literally attack — violate — reality and the human intellect. It’s like a berzerker dervish of argumentative elbows and fists indiscriminately flailing around, thwacking anything in its orbit, so much so that constructing a counterpoint is literally painful, “Why the hell am I trying to debunk this?! Ow! My head. Aw hell, I need a drink.”

No, Cesca doesn’t entail it all. you’ve got the whackjobiness that Sarah Palin represents as detainled by Dick Cavett, and the Republicans who are plotting to use Palin as a sacrificial lamb in 2012. You’ve got recriminations flying back and forth among the Republicans, the RNC attacking McCain, and Senator Jim DeMint doing so explicitly. Sure, it’s fun to watch this infighting, but the bigt question is whether it is a good thing. I’m not meaning whether it is good in the long run, and certainly not whether it is good for the Republican Party, but I’m wondering whether the Republicans sticking to their whackjobiness is having the same effect as a Sarah Palin rally, riling up the dangerous racist element of the GOP.

The racist element in this country is already riled up. Eileen Sullivan has the details of the biggest spike in threats to a Preident or President-elect in many years. Is this Republican Whackjobiness coming to the surface? If a Congressman feels free to label Barack Obama a Nazi, does this give some lowlife cause to think he’s got license to work up some other kind of threat? If Sarah Palin can label Obama as hanging with terrorists, then what does that tell the lowlife whackjob?

For a long time I’ve thought that the more Republicans show their true colors, that they are about as sane as Kim Jung Il on a good day, and twice as xenophobic, then we’d win this race and Democrats would be ab le to lead this country for many years. I’m seeing this situation as a little more dangerous now. Gee, I’m almost going to sleep at night praying for the Secret Service, that they do their jobs well.
