It's been a while since I wrote about the birther queen, Orly Taitz, or the equally nutso Michele Bachmann, our local equivalent of embarrassingly wacko.Orly Taitz was laughed out of the CPAC uninvited group. You can't get much more of a loser than to have your fellow extremists think you're too crazy for consideration. She continues to pursue failed court cases, but perhaps her wackiest NEW thing is that there are TWO President Obamas, and that one of them might be a ringer from Indonesia. But of course, she believes neither is really president.
Apparently a failure as a dentist, lawyer, and real estate salesman, Taitz is now working as a florist.....sort of..........sometimes.
Cue twilight zone theme music.
But then we have Tea Party Queen, of the just-as-crazies, Michele Bachmann who recently has tried to pray force Obama to repeal his own signature legislation, and who is going around telling people that Obamacare through the IRS is going to kill conservatives.
Bachmann, like Orly Taitz, is finding herself on the outs with her fellow right wing extremist lunatics, in part because of legal and ethics violation troubles relating to her epic failure of a presidential campaign. Michele continues to hear crazy voices in her head; in the past she has led people into the state legislature to pray over Senator Dibble's desk - he wrote the recent marriage equality legislation, she wrote the marriage amendment legislation language.
It's pretty clear who won. Praying away the gay never really works.
Now the Tea Party wackos here in Minnesota are trying to pray away the atheism of prominent and wealthy right wing figure George Soros. These people continue to be an embarrassment to the state, and to themselves. Soros is ethnically a Jew who fled Europe because of Nazi persecution, but who is an atheist by choice.
But we know that the right is persistent in trying every way possible to coerce people to be free, so long as freedom means letting them make the decision about how other people are permitted to live their lives, including the right to freedom of religion (or from it).
In spite of trying to appeal to the extremists in Minnesota, it is rumored the MN GOP is going to primary Bachmann in the district she doesn't serve, doesn't live in, but which narrowly elected her last election cycle. With money from the right and left against her, and her poor performance and declining reputation, except for being nuts, Bachmann is now some two points behind her DFL challenger repeating from last time, Jim Graves.
It appears that the right wing extremists are as fond as ever of the wildly crazy political figures. But they seem to be losing interest in those who are chronic failures. That in turn seems to prompt the right wing crazy ladies to greater examples of wild wing nuttery in the hopes of winning their fans back.
I'm skeptical it will work; even the far right is becoming sensitive to being ridiculed for their alternate reality fact averse epic failures.
