If this doesn't creep you out, you're part of the problem.

1. As it "Wack Jobs to Save the Day"

[Warpy]

2. His pictures lately show him with exactly the same expression Stupid always had

I just hope the rest of the country remembers what happened the last time a swaggering dimwit from Texas got into office.

[FiveGoodMen]

3. Look what they want.

"Forrest Wilder of the Texas Observer appeared on MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow Show to discuss the New Apostolic Reformation, a evangelical Christian group that sees Texas Gov. Rick Perry as their chance to overtake the U.S. government."

As I said in another thread: These are enemy combatants.

4. Can you imagine what election day will be like if this guy is the gop nominee?

There will be fruitcakes outside all the polling stations that lean Democratic wailing and praying. It will be quite the show. I, for one, don't think this country can take much more of this nonsense.

[Terry in Austin]

5. I'd much prefer a "Non-Prophet State" -nt

[struggle4progress]

6. The video gave the only pan-shots I've seen of stadium attendance at Perry's Pray-o-matic

last weekend. There's hardly anyone in the stands, and since the floor only had about 3.5K chairs, attendance certainly couldn't have exceeded 10K and probably wasn't much over the 7K pre-registered

So at least that's good news ...

7. My ability to deal with crazies is wearing down!

I talked with a Tea Party member yesterday who has been on disability for depression for at least 15 years which means she is supported by the taxpayers. Doesn't that make her a 'slacker' in her own group? Yet they'd take away my public sector pension that I worked for for over 30 years in a heartbeat if they could. Yup, I'm the bad guy who is expecting something for nothing!
They are too stupid to see the irony in their own situations.

8. If he is so Godly why is Texas plagued by fire ...

while the Gov. whines.

[Kalidurga]

9. Enemy combatants is pretty accurate even if it is inflamitory wording...

these same people that wrap themselves in the flag and proclaim they are constitutionalists are the biggest threat to the constitution that we have seen in over 200 years.

[Historic NY]

15. Well I hear tell he has been smiting the infidels.......

but is he shaking and dancing in asiles too.

[dtexdem]

10. Oh, thank God, I'm not part of the problem.

You had me worried there until I followed the link.

;-)

[proudlib8134]

11. awesome

[laconicsax]

12. What if it was expected?

Call me jaded, but stuff like this doesn't creep me out anymore. In fact, I saw it coming (be honest, you probably did too).

[NMMNG]

13. Bryan Fischer recently made the same claim

Fischer, the AFA's leading theocratic whackjob, crowed that Rick Perry was leading the way in uniting Christianity and politics. Scary stuff.

[struggle4progress]

18. But that only tells us how AFA is spinning

[NMMNG]

19. So you're saying Rick Perry isn't doing his best

to meld Church and State? That the AFA is merely "spinning" it as that? M'kay.

[struggle4progress]

21. Meh. Perry's obviously hoping to snag the rightwing authoritarian religious extremists

into his Presidential bid: that's a pretty reliable Republican constituency in the last 30 years, and Perry certainly wants them on his side for the primary season. And AFA effectively declared its support for Perry by underwriting his "prayer" diorama in Houston last week. Having hitched their wagon to his star, the AFA is going to dog-whistle furiously to the rightwing authoritarian religious extremists, in hopes of pushing Perry to the top: their political credibility in Republican circles depends on that right now

But I don't think they can succeed

It's always worth tracking these people of course, since they are dangerous if they have influence in high places. I worried a LOT about the Dominionists and other such wackos in the Bush era: you can check the DU archives to check that. But I'm not inclined to hyperventilate when they're out of power. And, frankly, the weirdness of the Bush years scared enough people for Americans to elect as President a black man with a very odd name. The Republicans increasingly built a political coalition from extremists, and I expect it will bite them hard now: hardly anybody wants another ill-informed rightwing extremist as our next President

14. You can take your pick of the various GOP Presidential candidates appealing to religiously insane.

Which ones actually believes their own campaign drivel? Will they continue to and actually act on what they say to their fundamentalist base if they arrive in office or act like typical politicians and throw them under the bus? As a Democrat I am willing to take the GOP at their word more than I can say for my own Democratic party. Due to growing disenchantment I will continue to vote Democratic out of utter disgust of Republicans.

I like Bill Mahers "Donner Party" idea as a counter balance to Tea Party crazy I just am not willing to eat them before they eat us. Considering Perry, Bachmann, Romney, Palin and the other various nutcases makes feel like I have been barking at a Pine Cone for 9 hours.

16. Vote Republican. Get yer war on. Like God said.

[rug]

17. Do you seriously consider this a credible threat?

I'm more creeped out by Baucus on the Super Committee.

[Odin2005]

20. YIKES!!!

[cleanhippie]

22. I love the hand waving from the apologists.

So typical.
