Thinking about this week's Rush Limbaugh/NFL story, I've come to the conclusion that the Wingers really, honestly believe that Rush Limbaugh is not a racist. This represents a fundamental break with reality of course...but they can't admit what Rush does is racism, because if Rush Limbaugh is a racist, and all of these guys agree with Rush on a regular basis on any number of issues, why then, that means all of them are racists, too.
They're not covering Rush's ass because they like the man. They're covering Rush's ass because if he goes down, the rest of Wingnut Industries, Inc. goes down the tubes along with him. It's self-preservation, plain and simple.
The irony is that in defending Rush's behavior, the Wingers are actually more racist than Rush (which is like being more evil than Lex Luthor or something, I know) because they tolerate this behavior and even implicitly condone it. In many ways that's actually far worse. In effect, Rush's defenders have doubled down on the dirty deeds.
They've got no choice now. They really ARE "all Rush Limbaugh now" in the Wingerverse. Not a single one of them can disown Rush, and standing up for him only makes them look worse. It's mass suicide over, well, Rush Limbaugh.
Maybe this will lead to a psychotic break back into reality for some of the Wingers. Maybe this is truly "peak wingnut". Perhaps some will escape the black hole and make it to the escape pods in time.
...Naaah. Who am I kidding? These guys are bonkers for getting themselves into this mess in the first place.

Rand Paul Dominates Fundraising Race
http://tpmdc.talkingpointsmemo.com/2009/10/rand-paul-dominates-fundraising-race.php
Rand Paul, son of congressman Ron Paul, has picked up a strong head of steam in his bid for Kentucky's open Senate seat. As FEC reports come in, Paul is leading the fundraising race by a considerable margin.
This afternoon, the Paul campaign announced it has raised just over $1 million in the third quarter. The haul is $400,000 more than his chief rival for the GOP nomination, Secretary of State Trey Grayson -- and more than double the fundraising total claimed by the leading Democrat, Lieutenant Gov. Dan Mongiardo.
Hey you know, if Rand Paul has a decent platform, maybe I'll vote for the guy. As a registered independent however, I believe I'm ineligible for the primaries on either side.
Something tells me however that ol' Rand will do something silly between now and November 2010.
Just ask pops.
The GOP is not producing much in the way of adults that can actually function.
Rand Paul has a lot of crap dumped by the current sloppy performers that the GOP tends to gravitate towards to over come before he'll attract anything other than the current base.
Rand.
He's named for a cult leader.
