Just a quick observation about the durability of right-wing wickedness. This just in from my friends at Newsmax.com, on how "Obama Will Cause 'Mammoth Depression'" (as an extra treat I include a few lines—on how to cure cancer, obesity, arthritis, etc., via secrets medical science won't tell you about!!—to illustrate a favorite old perennial here at The Big Con: that Conservatives Treat Their Constituents Like Suckers® [1]):

Here's that same old chestnut from the 1984 presidential contest, in a letter to fund the shock troops of College Republicans probably drafted by Jack Abramoff and signed by Jack Kemp (h/t The Wrecking Crew [2])

More on what to do and what not to do about this sort of stuff soon.
