The Plague Years: The Sickness In the Souls of the Left

Bill Maher has taken the Left's practice of degrading conservatives to a new low. On Friday's edition of Real Time, he and his guests discussed having violent "hate sex" with Michelle Bachmann and ... Rick Santorum?!

DAN SAVAGE, SEX ADVICE COLUMNIST: They're grifters and scumbags, the Bachmanns.

[Applause]

BILL MAHER, HOST: Grifters and scumbags.

SAVAGE: Yes

MAHER: Not just one or the other.

SAVAGE: They're not charming grifters like in the movie.

MAHER: No, no.

MARC MARON, COMEDIAN: I don't want to be crass but I just hope that Marcus Bachmann takes all that, you know, rage that comes from repression and denial and brings it into the bedroom with her. I hope he f--ks her angrily because, because that's how I would. And I've thought about it. I just…

[Laughter and applause]

MARON: …It's a political statement I'm trying to make.

SAVAGE: Just so we get, just so you don’t get charges of sexism, because only Michele Bachmann was involved, I sometimes think about f--king the s--t out of Rick Santorum.

[Laughter and applause]

SAVAGE: Because I think…

MARON: I’m with you.

SAVAGE: …he needs it. So, it’s not, it's not just women we’re talking about f--king. Like, let's bone that Santorum boy.

MARON: Alright. Let’s video it.

SAVAGE: I’m up for whipping up some santorum in Santorum

We don't indulge in too much evangelical finger-wagging around here, but that whole sequence is disgusting. Indeed, the above conversation is as pure a display of troubled diseased souls at work as you are likely to see. Jim Hoft isn't kidding when he says this is straight out of Satan's playbook. (you also have to love how "sex positive" types like Savage demand tolerance for their proclivities, yet use those same proclivities to demean their opponents. almost like they think there's something shameful about non-marital sex).

It goes without saying that the Left isn't targeting Michelle Bachmann with crass sex talk because of her stance on gay rights. It's because she is an effective critic of the president and his fiscal policies, and much more the "adult in the room" when it comes to trying to protect the country from further harm. If America's welfare state survives this latest bout with an ascendant conservative moment, they will probably need a long shower to wash off the stain of their victory.
