TOM DELAY IS A TOTAL NUT

Of course, we already knew that. But just so there's no doubt, here's an excerpt from a DeLay speech to the fundamentalist Family Research Council. From Think Progress courtesy of Eschaton:

And so it’s bigger than any one of us, and we have to do everything that is in our power to save Terri Schiavo and anybody else that may be in this kind of position.

And let me just finish with this: This is exactly the issue that’s going on in America. That attacks against the conservative movement, against me, and against many others. The point is, it’s, the other side has figured out how to win and defeat the conservative movement. And that is to go after people, personally charge them with frivolous charges, and link that up with all these do-gooder organizations funded by George Soros, and then, and then get the national media on their side. That whole syndicate that they have going on right now is for one purpose and one purpose only and that’s to destroy the conservative movement. It’s to destroy conservative leaders and it’s, uh, not just in elected office but leading. I mean Ed Feulner, today at the Heritage Foundation, was under attack in the National Journal. I mean they, they, this is a huge nationwide concerted effort to destroy everything we believe in, and, and you need to look at this and what’s going on and participate in fighting back.

What amazes me most about these lunatic ravings is the sincere belief that liberals actually continue to hold some kind of institutional power in this country. I mean, anybody with half a brain can see that the right wing now controls virtually everything of consequence. But for some strange reason guys like DeLay are paranoid about the liberals. What a kook! As David Neiwert over at Orcinus has observed, the Conservative Movement won't rest, won't believe it's truly in control, until liberals have been wiped from the face of the Earth. And if that doesn't send shivers down your spine, I don't know what will.
