Scared Shitless

That's what they are. The Becks, Hannitys, Craphammers, Kristols, and Coulters of the world, that is. Scared. Shitless. The last thing they want is for Democrats to strap on a pair and stick it to their Dear Leader. Not only would this signal the end of their Glorious Conservative Cultural Revolution, it might also ultimately derail the Wingnut Welfare gravy train that keeps them fat, dumb, and happy. Except they were dumb to start with. And Ann Coulter definitely ain't fat.

A question for all you phony conservative pundits predicting the demise of the Democrats should Nedmentum prevail: why aren't you all out campaigning for Lamont?

Media Matters - Cable conservatives: CT Senate primary "could be the death of the Democratic Party"; Dems "are totally losing their soul"; the "Democratic approach to our enemies in the world ... is essentially appeasement"

In commenting on the August 8 Connecticut Democratic Senate primary between Sen. Joseph I. Lieberman and Greenwich businessman Ned Lamont, various conservative cable news figures offered dire prognoses for the Democratic Party. CNN Headline News host Glenn Beck claimed that a Lamont win in the primary "could be the death of the Democratic Party," and asked: "Is the Democratic Party really becoming the party of Michael Moore?" and "You can't count on people to vote for you when you're this out of touch, can you?" Fox News host Sean Hannity claimed that a Lamont victory would show that Democrats "are totally losing their soul." Also on Fox News, Washington Post columnist Charles Krauthammer claimed that the primary demonstrates that the "Democratic approach to our enemies in the world ... is essentially appeasement."
