The paranoid right-wing nuttiness on display nowadays in the USA is definitely not new.  A couple of months ago I found a long-lost hard drive backup from 1996.  As I looked through my saved “Anarchist Cookbook” type text files and Netscape cache (which was like a time capsule of early web 1.0), I saw our last Democratic president being accused of the same things as Obama … and now that I’ve found this image: JFK.

I’m honestly surprised that the same paranoid rhetoric that Stanley Kubrick lampooned in Dr. Strangelove through General Jack D. Ripper is alive and well.  The spirit of the same folks who produced this JFK poster lives on unchanged in today’s bomb-making and survivalist web sites, the pages of The American Free Press (especially the ads), any number of comically impossible yet seductive conspiracy theories, hatefully ignorant right-wing radio personalities, and Glenn Beck, who proudly stumbles through these destructive ideologies in an ecstatic recovering drug addict haze.

Accusing left-wing leaders of treason is apparently a well-worn and effective right-wing tool.  Take a look at Kevin Baker’s “Stabbed in the back! The past and future of a right-wing myth”, courtesy of the cowardly cock-sucking Communist faggot traitors at Harper’s Magazine.
