The Sean Hannity forum has been hilarious to read, often leaving tears of laughter streaming down my face. But now, this place has taken on the same tone. Outlandish accusations and hypothetical scenarios, most of which are completely insane, and nonsensical. Derived from email fwds, misintepreted quotes, and right wing blogs.

In one aspect they take on the "Something is about to happen tomorrow, something big" threads. In another they embody the fearful lies repeated ad naseum throughout the campaign. An impressive blend of paranoia, ignorance and buffoonerism. But really, you guys are taking this to an entire new level.

None of what you're proposing is going to happen, nor has fear worked for you. In fact, fear cost you the election. I kept telling you the entire time it wasn't going to work, but you raced from one fear inspired story to the next. It seems, that you have learned nothing.

The next eight years are really going to suck for you guys.

I think they are just adrenaline junkies. They enjoy the thrill of imagining themselves facing a radical Muslim armada that's landed on the shores of Jersey and is coming to rape everyone's sister.

I think you're on to something. By manufacturing outrage, it may actually make them feel like they have a life.

Someone ought to point them to some good virtual reality video games where they can expend their aggressive tendencies harmlessly. Come to think of it, that would be a good therapy for the jihadis, too.

Nobody can be this hateful and fearful and be happy in their everyday lives at the same time.

I think this was the same speech given about Noah right before the great flood, only the names have changed. It was a good speech--but it didn't hold water.
