What to do with Crazy Aunt Edna...

Noah Millman at American Scene wants to keep the loonies in the GOP "inside the tent and pissing on the sleeping bags."

If they are inside, pissing on the sleeping bag, you aren't going to get any sleep, you aren't going to forget they are there, and you aren't going to forget they are crazy. But you're going to know where they are and what they are up to, and they are going to be warm and dry (Warmer and drier than your sleeping bag, anyway).

In the comments section of the post, matoko_chan pwns Noah big time:

C’mon Noah, you guyz didn't have the nads to [laugh] Sarah Palin off the stage last summer and NOW you pretend you are going to bravely direct the teabaggers, birthers, frothing bluehairs and rabid assorted KKK rally attendees you have summoned? This is your problem now.YOU invited the vampires into the House so you could farm their votes…Either stake them through the heart or burn the House down.

Ain't that the fuckin' truth?

To another commenter who felt it appropriate to bring up Obama's $53,770 in 2005-07 contributions to the church where Jeremiah Wright is a pastor, matoko_chan writes:
You are prejudiced against Obama because he is black, [but w]hy aren’t you prejudiced against Sarah Palin because she is stupid? Sarah Palin is going to destroy the GOP, not Obama. She is unelectable, and the base has gone gila monster on you. They won’t let go of her until the GOP is dead.
The logical conclusion to the GOP drama is not that the crazies are thrown out of the party, but that they leave on their own to form the party they envision as capable of returning their country back to its fundamentalist Christian origins. Given the unpopularity of that idea among sane Americans, the crazies would only be further marginalized. This is where Millman's idea is sound. Once they're out of the tent, pissing everywhere (including back into the tent), the crazies are far more dangerous. Feed them daily doses of Limbaugh, Hannity, Beck, Malkin, and Coulter, and they'll be positively feral.
