I Live in the Valley of the Crazies

by AltHippo @ 11:45 am. Filed under 2008 Elections

I knew rivermalkin was crazy, I thought Heidi Li Feldman was more or less a regular Dem, who was upset that her candidate lost. That’s what I thought.

I mean rivermalkin came up with a theory about the Democratic primary that goes something like this: about a year ago Howard Dean, Nancy Pelosi, and Donna Brazile decided that they wanted Obama as the Dem candidate. So they manipulated the primary calendar to help him and hurt the rightful Dem nominee, Hillary Clinton. Just to make sure the fix was in, they invalidated the primaries in Michigan and Florida. Edwards wasn’t part of the actual conspiracy, but he did his part to keep HRC down by not admitting he had an affair.

This was essentially a coup against the Clinton wing of the Democratic party, so rivermalkin’s theory goes. To make the coup complete required using the race card against Bill Clinton, to destroy his legacy. Then moving the DLC to Chicago. I’m not sure why Chicago upsets the meowists, maybe it has something to do with the University of Chicago. The important thing is that this sets the stage for a totalitarian Obama administration and his evil secretary of state, Markos Moulitsas. Markos, also known as the Great Orange Satan, seeks to… oh, who knows. They just don’t like him. And the rest of the blogger boyz.

Anyway, rivermalkin is a constant source of entertainment. Like today, she is totally dumb-founded why the Atlantic email article is a big deal. Of course, the reason it’s a big deal is that it undermines the grand unified conspiracy theory that rivermalkin has been trying to sell to the meowists. The reason HRC lost the primary is because she didn’t prepare for the loss in Iowa. Far from running a positive campaign, the strategy was to attack Obama for not looking like an American- a strategy that crosses the line in terms of what Democrats will accept in a primary.

Like I say, I had put Heidi Li Feldman in a different and much more reasonable category. Then I read this from her blog. She is reacting to the idea of the Obama campaign announcing the VP choice through text messaging:

These are not democratic methods. They more closely resemble the techniques historically used by fascists determined to control and manipulate public opinion while at the same time ralllying public support or insisting on shows of them.

A bit over the top, perhaps? I mean, folks get upset when Bush gets called a fascist, and in his case the shoe kind of does fit. But calling someone a fascist for sending out text messages?

    Well, maybe this whole Internets tubes things is really undemocratic, too. I mean, who owns a
    computer these days except the very rich, elite? And who can afford the high-speed service, right?

    High-speed is definitely for quiche-eating Volvo-driving latte-sippers from Vermont.

    A much manlier modem is the 2400 dial-up with the cranky calibration sequence. They don’t make them like that anymore. They’re like the Chevy Vegas of the internet world.
