By VictorM: It's becoming easier these days to find candidates for the Idiot of the Day. I was a bit rushed today and thought I might have to skip this feature but in a few minutes I had my guy. What's prompting this onslaught of idiotic behavior? Fear, as always.

Take this guy... please. What an amazing level of hyperbole and stupidity. And the all caps are his:

WHILE THE UK'S LEFT-WING PM COWERS AT THE FEET OF THE MULLAH'S IF IRAN, THE TOWNS AND CITIES WITHIN HER OWN SHORES ARE RAPIDLY BECOMING ISLAMIFIED. 70 YEARS. AND THEN SHARIA.

UNLESS EUROPE TAKES HARSH ACTION NOW, EURABIA IS INEVITABLE, AND WITH IT THE END OF A CIVILIZATION.

THIS IS A REAL THREAT - UNLIKE "MAN-MADE GLOBAL WARMING".

Ooooo, how scary. As we all know, Muslims are war-mongers, homosexual hating, male chauvinistic, religious fanatics, bent on forcing their religion on the rest of us. Oh wait... um... those are right-wing Christians.

Projection is a darn thing.

By VictorM: This right-wing blogger demonstrates the amazing ability by right-wingers to make up statements without any references or even resemblance to reality. In this example, while commenting on an article about a German judge who made a lousy ruling based on the Koran because the couple in the dispute were Muslims, Pamela Geller Oshry makes this remark:

Not that strange considering how Europe has surrendered to Islam.

How many such cases does the blogger list? Just this one. Where did the above comment come from? You got it -- she pulled it out of her conservative ass.

But in addition, this blogger does something very typical of right-wingers: she omits that which is inconvenient. I decided to read the original article and sure enough, it says something that contradicts the nature of the made-up statement:

On Wednesday, after the Tuesday evening publication of the story on SPIEGEL ONLINE, the attorney received a fax from the Frankfurt court granting the conflict of interest claim and excusing the judge from the case... the judge who heard the case may have to face further consequences for her decision... numerous politicians in Berlin voiced their horror at the verdict -- and demanded disciplinary action against the judge.

So, not only is Pamela making shit up, she's utterly dishonest about how "Europe" reacted to the decision of one judge. Arggg Pamela Geller Oshry is idiot scum!

By Zbigniew Brzezinski: If the United States continues to be bogged down in a protracted bloody involvement in Iraq, the final destination on this downhill track is likely to be a head-on conflict with Iran and with much of the world of Islam at large. A plausible scenario for a military collision with Iran involves Iraqi failure to meet the benchmarks; followed by accusations of Iranian responsibility for the failure; then by some provocation in Iraq or a terrorist act in the U.S. blamed on Iran; culminating in a "defensive" U.S. military action against Iran that plunges a lonely America into a spreading and deepening quagmire eventually ranging across Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, and Pakistan.
