There are many in this Hall of Fame, of course

There
is crazy, and then there is batsh*t crazy.* America is full of batshit crazy
people, but social conservatives seem to have cornered the market. Maybe it's
heady, vainglorious sense of righteousness, or maybe it's just the steady,
hypnotic beat of the bible thumpers, but social conservatives (actually the
Christian Right as it likes to be known - a crazy, almost oxymoronic concept in
itself) seem to have more than their share of the ridiculous and
unreasoning.
Yes, they are entertaining in their quest for an audience (which is why most
people quote them), but their wild fantasies, dire proclamations, bizarre
reasoning and horrendous use of metaphors are oddly disturbing: do they live on
another planet? Do they pay attention at all to what people are saying about
them? Do they care what people are thinking about them? Maybe it is their
profound sense of displacement that entertains people. Who knows?
'Prophet'
Cindy Jacobs Binds Demons On Airplane Passengers
Yes, Cindy Jacobs helps rid fellow airplane passengers while they are sleeping
by "binding" together demons and literally casting them out into the
abyss - or down to Orlando, FL (the place that missed Pat Robertson's meteor).
Muslims
To Remotely Change All Of Your Car Radio Presets To ShariaRock Top 40 Stations.
Then Kill You.
"Cyber terrorism expert" Morgan Wright explained to Jenna Lee of FOX
News that some day, all the little computers installed in your car may be
hacked by Al Queda and send you careening into a Taco Bell. The Firedog
Lake take on the interview is
indeed outrageous, but not as outrageous as the actual clip (see below) nor as
unbelievable as Jenna Lee's sincerity.
Bachmann
Puts Black Leather On, Talks About 'Spanking' Obama
Spanking POTUS is not mentioned in James Dobson's pseudo-seminal work on
child-rearing, Dare To Discpiline, but since Bachmann says that Obama has a
"magic wand" when it comes to getting what he wants (out of what?),
we can see where here fantasies lie.
Pat
Robertson: Zimmerman Was Right To Follow Trayvon Martin Because "Criminals Wear
These Hoods'
Straight from Planet Vomit, Pat Robertson once again shows just how little he
knows about racial profiling - or about America's taste in apparel.
Bryan
Fischer, Anti-Gay Spokesperson: Claims Army Overrun By 'Hypermasculine
Homosexuals'
The leader of all things bigoted, Bryan Fischer has switched from portraying
gays as effete, effeminate (but highly effective) lobbyists, to Teutonic Rambos
on steriods bent on destroying the U.S. military. That's what Hitler did,
didn't he?
Rick Wiles:
'Raw Satanic Sewage Coming Up Out Of Hell' Ran Through The Streets Of Austin
During Abortion Legislation Protests
Rick Wiles went over-the-top in describing protests to the draconian
anti-abortion legislation then heating up in the Texas legislature.
"These
demons weren't hiding behind bushes, they were out in the street; they were in
the streets possessing the people who were demanding the right to murder babies...The
sewer pipes of Hell have broken open and this is raw hate against Jesus Christ,
against God, against the Bible, against righteous men and women, against life,
against anything that is good and decent."
Scatological
references from a man of God! What is this world turning into? Batsh*t maybe?
DL
Foster: Pro-Gay Christians 'Just Like Slave Owners' and 'Jim Crow
Racists'
"Ex-homosexual Abolitionist" Foster has also had the temerity (or
stupidity) to depict himself over a Harriet Tubman "wanted poster."
Foster's stance as an "ex-gay" has (unfortunately) always been in
question since it has been posited that he was never gay in the first place.
His righteous indignation towards gays is anything but compassionate.
The batsh*t crazies seemed to be out in full force last week, but hold on -
they may continue:
Cindy Jacobs: God
Told Me He's Going To Punish America For Gay Marriage
The Lord spoke to Cindy Jacobs and told her that there was "goin' to be a
whole lotta shakin' goin' on": in response to "criticism" for
Jacobs' "doom and gloom" prophecies, Jacobs stated yesterday that as
a prophet, she must tell people what she sees and what the lord has told her.
She did not say that the "criticism" was actually a summons to the
Batsh*t Crazy Hall of Fame.
*Urban Dictionary:
A person who is batsh*t crazy is certifiably nuts. The phrase has origins in
the old fashioned term "bats in the belfry." Old churches had a
structure at the top called a belfry, which housed the bells. Bats are
extremely sensitive to sound and would never inhabit a belfry of an active
church where the bell was rung frequently. Occasionally, when a church was
abandoned and many years passed without the bell being rung, bats would
eventually come and inhabit the belfry. So, when somebody said that an
individual had "bats in the belfry" it meant that there was
"nothing going on upstairs" (as in that person's brain). To be
BATSHIT CRAZY is to take this even a step further. A person who is batshit
crazy is so nuts that not only is their belfry full of bats, but so many bats
have been there for so long that the belfry is coated in batshit. Hence, the
craziest of crazy people are BATSH*T CRAZY.
