Thursday Night Funny: Rise of the Rove-ABC conspiracy theorists

From the liberal blog Jesus’ General, whose weirdo blogger likes to be referred to as JC Christian:

rove-abc.jpg

A thumbnail of the image follows each of Atrios’ entries.

Other nutroots kingpins have followed suit and posted the image on their blog. It’s one big, silly, stupid exercise in groupthink. “Look at me! I can post the same idiotic image as everybody else!”

I mean, do they ever, ever stop to think that every time they sign on to one of the Rovian plots they are saying to the world “We’re stupid! We’re inferior! Our leaders are morons!” Um, no, they don’t. Which is what makes watching these mental meltdowns so much fun.

It should come as no surprise that Kos has joined the GOP-ABC bandwagon.

Come on, Oliver. Feel it drawing you in. Surrender to it. You know you want to. Post the Mouse-eared Rove pic!

Update: Got a minute? Feel like wading into a sewer? Head on over to Crooks & Liars post on the Mouse-eared Rove image and count up all the homophobic slurs that the loving, tolerant liberals are coughing up.

Update (9/8/08 3:06pm): Crooks & Liars is posting the image again.

I can’t wait to wake up from this dream.

They are so mean to pile on Rove the day he is still waiting for the media to apologize to him over the Plame affair.

Valiant on September 8, 2006 at 12:04 AM

In the context of 60’s cartoon shows Rove looks more like Captain Kangaroo.

Oliver is probably a little gunshy, he’s still waiting for Brit Hume to resign. Isn’t it like Day 540 of American Truth under Siege?

How endearing:

1. tending to make dear or beloved.
2. manifesting or evoking affection: an endearing smile.

Unwittingly, they made their nemesis an endearing figure, and they repeat it, over and over, and over. Good!

Which is what makes watching these mental meltdowns so much fun.

Suppose they feel a political meltdown coming on?

Entelechy on September 8, 2006 at 12:34 AM

I can’t wait to see the look of shock on their face when the Republicans hold firm in November. Can you imagine the mental illness that will ensue? These people really think that normal people think like them.

DaveS on September 8, 2006 at 12:36 AM

So ABC is the new “Faux News Channel”?

I can’t wait until ‘fake-document’ CBS becomes a hotbed of rightwing shennanigans!

Hoodlumman on September 8, 2006 at 12:38 AM

Er… the look of shock, on their prose. You know what I mean.

DaveS on September 8, 2006 at 12:39 AM

DaveS, the psychologists are pretty busy now, treating BDS - imagine what would happen then!

Would they not be so gun-averse, I’d fear the start of a civil war…though, in desperation, all is possible.

Question, having exhausted the “Bush is Hitler”, “Bush is the real terrorist or the enemy”, etc. what would their new mantra be for 2 more years then?

If he’s 1% as crafty as they think, they might as well give up.

As always, whenever you get a chance to discuss such matters with them, please be helpful, and point out that unless they fold their hats with the shiny side of the foil out, it will not protect them against the Rovian Mind Control Rays.

I would expect it will not change from what it’s been for the last 6 years. Just ratcheted up a little more.

The trouble with Rove and the Dems is obvious: Successful campaining stratigy verses jealous envy causes we did think of it first.

Opps, I meant strategy…. spell check and a glass of wine after dinner is out of order.

Kini on September 8, 2006 at 1:34 AM

Kini, I check out your site now and then, just to see the menu :)

I also like it when you show us your exotic fruits and vegetables, and leisure/beautiful life in general.

Thank you,

Entelechy on September 8, 2006 at 1:45 AM

Valiant, you made me laugh with your Rove comment. Have a good night, and thanks.

Doug on September 8, 2006 at 1:51 AM

Mahalo Entelechy,
It’s weird living on an island with some of the most Liberal wack jobs and conspiracy freaks, but luckly there are a few rightwingers at the VFW post here.

I can thank George Bush’s tax cuts for helping me move from New Jersey to Hawai’i! And everytime I tell that to the libs here, it drives em NUTS!

Thanks for visiting!

Kini on September 8, 2006 at 2:00 AM

Ian, when reading the title of this thread my first thought was, You have Got to be Kidding! Having read through the comments I now realize that the nutroots are exhausted in their efforts to censor ABC, and have thus fallen back on their plan of attacking Rove, then Bush, then Cheney, then Rumsfeld. These people really need to take the PEST cure.

Entelechy, now I have a reason to vote. ;o)

DannoJyd on September 8, 2006 at 2:50 AM

Admit it, you were just looking for an excuse to post that mouse capped Rove yourself! I don’t blame you one bit. He looks soooo adorable, doesn’t he?

JM Hanes on September 8, 2006 at 4:44 AM

Good for them to finally find a bigger threat to our nation than Lieberman.

frankj on September 8, 2006 at 6:56 AM

I knew it!! F*cking Haliburton has taken over Hollywood. Damn, it’s all over now - the world is truly coming to an end.

Rick on September 8, 2006 at 12:37 PM

Note to Mr. Rove - get yourself such a hat and wear it at every single appearance. Marvelous impact for your side!

Entelechy on September 8, 2006 at 2:30 PM

Got a minute? Feel like wading into a sewer? Head on over to Crooks & Liars post

Alas…no one took my bait…heheheheheh
