5 Craziest Right-Wing Moments this Week: Christian Celeb’s Bonkers Ideas about Halloween

http://www.alternet.org/tea-party-and-right/5-craziest-right-wing-moments-week-christian-celebs-bonkers-ideas-about



1. Kirk Cameron: Obama Halloween masks are actually celebrating Jesus’ triumph over Satan.

Former "Growing Pains" star Kirk Cameron is doing his darndest to rebrand Halloween as a Christian holiday. At the same time, the uber-right-wing Christian actor is getting his digs in at Obama.

2. Fox Newser Kimberly Guilfoyle: Young women should not vote or serve on juries. They should just go back on Tinder.

Women—especially young women —tend not to vote Republican. Hmmm. Wonder why that is. Nothing to do with the all-out assault on abortion rights. No. Nothing to do with Republicans not supporting equal pay for equal work laws. Nothing to do with “binders of women,” or “legitimate rape” or television ads suggesting that voting is much like choosing a wedding dress.

3. Texas wing-nut congressman sees parallel between Ebola crisis and zombie movies.

Speaking of brain sucking ... Texas GOP Representative Blake Farenthold already has the birther credentials that qualify him, some say, to succeed Michele Bachmann as the nuttiest nutjob in Congress. (Esquire political blogger Charles Pierce’s name for the post is the Royal Regent of the Crazy People, of which Louie Gohmert is Emperor for Life.)

4. Joni Ernst wants to go to Washington and be a senator packing heat, in case she’s attacked by the government.

It’s one thing to run on a shrink-the-government platform. Wing-nut Joni Ernst of Iowa is running for Senate on a “I’m scared of the government; that’s why I need to carry my gun with me everywhere to protect me from the government that I want to join,” platform.
