Last month I blogged about how some far lefties over at the HuffPo were thinking that Karl Rove was just a little too optimistic about the elections, which caused them to cook up conspiracy theories that Rove and Co. might have been involved in some shady behind the scenes pre-election rigging, like making sure Diebold ‘had it in the bag’ for Republicans. If the left didn’t win at the elections, the lefties at the HuffPo were pledging to “take to the streets.”
Well, as we now know, Republicans lost big time last Tuesday and as a result of that, the usual cries of “stolen elections” were no where to be found.
Or so I thought.
Michelle Malkin’s got the details on the outrage and activism being stirred up at the Daily Kos over Florida’s 13th district race, which they claim was “stolen” by Diebold for the Republican. They’re calling for a fund raising drive to fight Diebold. Only problem is, as Malkin points out, the machines in Florida’s 13th district weren’t Diebold machines: they were ES&S machines. No matter, sayeth the Kossites. The election was STOLEN because the Democrat didn’t win, and the “fight” rages on. One wonders if they will take to the streets …
You simply cannot parody these people. Heck, you don’t even need to.

ST, it’s obvious by now that unhinged bloodthirsty hatred is to the Koskids what oxygen is to normal people.

I didn’t see where they explained why they thought the election was stolen or the machines rigged. All I saw was that their nominee lost and…oh…I get it.

“You simply cannot parody these people.?
I must ask, in all honesty, how does one parody a parody?

Yeah, Poet, it’s like expecting the Onion to mock the National Lampoon. How could you tell the difference?

As I think about this, I am convinced that we are witnessing a new, fiendishly subtle canniness at work here. The Kos Klowns must have finally seen what happens to those they support, and conversely those they oppose.
So to destroy Diebold, they must endorse them. But they could never do that with any pretense of sincerity, and even the dullest among us (which would be them, probably) would see through the scheme at once. So how to bring the Dreaded Kos Endorsement Effect into play without tipping their hand? Oppose Diebold’s competitor!
Brilliant! Diebold is doomed!
