4-Way Tie for Most Atrocious Right-Winger of the Moment

http://www.alternet.org/tea-party-and-right/4-way-tie-most-atrocious-right-winger-moment



1. Rush Limbaugh decided to go after Michelle Obama and Malala, the Pakistani girl who was shot by the Taliban for going to school, on his radio program yesterday. Why? Because of their efforts and tweets holding the sign #BringBackOurGirls, the twitter campaign to bring attention to the plight of the hundreds of Nigerian girls recently kidnapped for going to school by an extremist Islamist group. "Look at her looking all sad," Rush said mockingly about Obama. Limbaugh also criticized Americans who used the hashtag since the girls are Nigerian, not "ours."

2. Karl Rove made a desperate move to shoot down any possibility of a Hillary Clinton presidency by suggesting she has brain damage last week. "Thirty days in the hospital? And when she reappears, she’s wearing glasses that are only for people who have traumatic brain injury?" he reportedly said. "We need to know what’s up with that."

3. Donald Sterling said a bunch of incoherent, ridiculous things in his interview last night with Anderson Cooper, the one where this clueless billionaire thought he would redeem himself by saying "II am not a racist... Aren't I allowed to make mistake . . . The girl set me up," and other stupidities. But, then he decided to go after Magic Jonhson.

4. Ann Coulter is vying with Rush in the viless category by mocking the #BringBackOurGirls twitter campaign. Coulter decided it would be really, what, funny? to tweet a picture of herself holding a #BringBackOurCountry sign.

Except for Limbaugh and Rove, who are still making a lot of easy money but who must be chilled by their waning relevance.
