Wingnut roundup

According to the San Fransisco Chronicle, Senator John Kerry was greeted warmly by US troops as he visited them in Baghdad Thursday.
U.S. soldiers approached Kerry inside the restaurant of the Rashid Hotel, asking him to pose for photographs and sign T-shirts. The star-struck restaurant manager insisted on serving Kerry the restaurant's specialty, a plate of grilled chicken and lamb.

Later in the day, Kerry met with about 20 soldiers based in his home state, including reservists from the 356th Engineer Detachment and 126th Aviation Company of the Massachusetts Army National Guard at Camp Victory, where soldiers are bivouacked in luxury villas once inhabited by Saddam Hussein and his loyalists.
Wingnuts, posting on Lucianne.com, reacted with a mixture of tired clichés, ad hominem attacks, and misinformed comment:

OMG, hanoi heinz kerry will undo in 10 minutes, what our Military, Pentagon has striven to do for 1 /2 years. Just like he did when he went to Paris and collaborated with the VC leaders, to collaborate against the USA, causing more pain to our POWs' and more killing of our Military. This POS is a traitor, and should be tried for treason, which he committed when he went to Paris. Why isn't he being tried, instead of being free to roam around the World, turning the World against the USA, just like slick willie and his worst half does. - Sunflower
That's a pretty volatile situation you're describing there, Sunflower: one visit by a US Senator, and all of Bush's good work comes tumbling down. Imagine what a determined insurgency could do.

He probably picked up his 4th Purple Heart - WhiteSubaru
Ha ha ha ha. That's really funny. Rich guy goes to Vietnam instead of the Air National Guard, gets shot up, and that's not good enough. You slay me, WhiteSubaru.

Wait ten minutes, Kerry will praise Bush. Did he take Teraaaazah with him?
No. Have you finished HiiigghhSccchhooll yet?

What else did we expect from this moron? Maybe the next "roadside" incident will have the proper timing.
Yeah, and maybe the cheering troops that accompany Kerry will be blown to bits, too. Moron.

Wingnuts indeed. But allow me to be a birch for second: aren't clichés by definition tired? Isn't the phrase "tired cliché" itself something of a cliché? Yes, and yes.

"Moron" is the right word to use. These are the people in the majority in the U.S. right now? Time to reach for the Wild Turkey and the Federalist Papers. Thanks for posting this -- I think.
