The Flabbergasting Madness of the Rapture Right

Check out the giddy chat thread that follows from a comment (under the Subject Line: Oh, Happy Day) from a Rature Rightist whose contemplation of escalating Mideast violence and civilian slaughter the last couple of days provokes "excitement." Animated winking shimmying smiley-faces accompany many of the declarations of joy that follow, presumably so that any fundy females wisely protected from the soiling evil of literacy by their Patriarchal Papas can still join in on the joy of mass-murder with the rest of these nice people so filled with Christ's love. The combination of insanity, bloodlust, stupidity, clueless self-righteousness and, well, just rampaging cheesiness of these people is a sight to see.
