It's really amazing that people like this actually exist, but I've seen it myself... I was working (on some computers) on-site at a temp agency, when one of the agency employees came into the office, and it was easy to tell she had been crying. I asked her if she was OK, and she told me that "No, she wasn't OK! That bastard Bush had just been re-elected, and he was going to reinstitute slavery." I mean, come on now. How do you respond to that... I was just sort of dumb-struck. I said "huh?" She said that with the Republicans controlling the House and Senate, and with Bush as president, they were going to reinstitute slavery for Blacks. And then she broke out in tears again.
Frightening, isn't it?

Yes indeedy. These people are truly, deeply and genuinely freaks. I happened to be at the University of Minnesota when news of Paul Wellstone's death was broken. You should have seen the tears and pandemonium. It was like a god had been struck down - pure idolatry is the only analogue I can think of. Freaks - every one of them.
