Meanwhile, Somewhere In the Bowels of Wingnuttia

by AltHippo @ 1:09 pm. Filed under 2008 Elections, wingnuttia

The right-wing freak show is busy hatching the trailer trash view of candidate Obama. Sadly No, is fortunately on the case, unearthing freeperati I had never heard of before. Marie Jon’ ? I mean, seriously ditto-head, what’s the deal with the apostrophe at the end of your name? Did you try out “@”, “#”, “(”, and then finally you got to the apostrophe and said, yeah, that’s kinda me all over. Possessiveness attached to no particular possession.

Which is at least consistent with her bio at the end of the column:

Marie is an practicing Christian, a nurse, a student of the Bible, and a patriot.

But, not much of a grammarian, apparently. Anyway, here’s the sentence that really got my attention: “Like most far left liberals, Obama is not very proud of his country.”

Thing is, Marie-Jon-freaking-apostrophe, I’m proud of my country. See, I live in the country that’s trying to elect either the first woman or the first African-American to the presidency. You’re trying to elect a cranky ole white guy. So, I’m pretty good with my country. Yours I’m not so sure about.

    I spend most of my time reading people that I agree with. I’m so glad to have been directed to the audacity of the lovely Marie Jon’. Thanks. Judith’

    You’re welcome. I try to keep track of the right-wing freak show, and I’ve never heard of her before.
