The Drudge-i-verse spit out the headline “YOU LIE!” following Obama’s health care speech.  Looking down further, I caught the further glimpse of the snap-shot of where the Conservative Movement is at the moment:  there was a link to an item about Janet Napalitano rounding up Girl Scouts for the government indoctrination.

Replete with scary photograph of Napalitano with Girl Scout troupe.  Everything is topsy turvy, isn’t it?  We are in a bit of John Birch, or the modern equivalent of the (still existent) Birch Society — the Alex Jones Show arena.  Take, for instance:

From “Crooks and Liars“:

But he certainly made some waves last week when — clearly, and appropriately, disgusted by Jerome Corsi’s bizarre piece in WorldNetDaily suggesting that President Obama was preparing concentration camps to round up and imprison his conservative critics — Henke urged his fellow conservatives to disassociate themselves from WND in every way possible.

This is, frankly, an oldie.  Jones has drummed at it since at least the Clinton Administration.  I can go back to the 1968 George Thayer book on the political fringe and cull it out from 40 years ago as well.  I think World Net Daily’s Jerome Corsi (cue 2004 presidential campaign for name check) merely cast a partisan hue to the conspiranoia.

For an eye on where Alex Jones is throwing things around, I am similarly confused by this link to this piece.  When I clicked over to “prisonplanet” the other day, the Charlie Sheen Interview with Obama dominated the page.  It was really, really bizarare.  That was a hoax?  I was supposed to believe it?  When I first saw it, I assumed it was a parody in their own visage — which would be acceptable. 

Incidentally, back to Drudge: I see the Homeland Security Wants to Recruit Girl Scouts” story is on now on that Alex Jones page, now that we’ve seen the Charlie Sheenpromotion subside a tad.  (But only a tad.)

And back to Drudge – i-verse, and the celebration of Joe Wilson as the new Joe the Plumber: in retaliation from the liberal blogs, I see an ad for “Censure Joe Wilson”.  Why bother?  I don’t even think pushing  funding for his opposition is all that worthwhile a goal.  He had a close-ish race in one of the last two cycles, and the next one isn’t probably as Democratic a year.  The DCCC just plopped his name on their “Targetted List” for fund-raising pitch reasons now that he’s a name.  Good for the Old Donkey Versus Elephant Show, I guess.
