Conservatism is two things -- it's a political philosophy, and a cultural movement that's being mined for commercial purposes. Every wingnut's behavior seems crazy and unhinged if you look at it from a political context. But if you look at it from a commercial context, they're all being completely rational -- they all make lots and lots of money.
The problem with the movement is that the people at the top always go for the money. If Ann Coulter will bolster your ratings, you'll put her on, even if she diminishes your side's chances of winning elections.
I don't think that demonstrating that Palin is bad, or that the whack job on Glenn Beck is bad, will fix this thing. Because if they go down, some other demagogues will take their place.
Until conservatism the political philosophy renounces conservatism the demagogic industry, they're basically screwed. And the business folks are leaving a lot of lasting damage in their wake -- it's not politicians (for the most part) who rail against immigrants. It's talk radio hosts. They do it for money. Throwing chum in the water is profitable. But even if the GOP denounced these guys today, it would take a long time before a lot of people started to trust them again. Hispanics won't vote Republican for a long time. The demagogues say they're standing on principle, that they won't be silenced, that they will continue to speak the truth. But they just want the money.

Funman I know this is not written by you, so you'll excuse me when I say that that right there is most idiotic, naive, simpleton candy assed tripe posing as intellectual prose that I have read in my life. That guy wouldn't know conservatism if it kicked him in the ass. That is a whole lot of horseshit written by a little leftarded fuckstick that doesn't know John Locke from Paris Hilton!
I mean look at that last idiotic sentence. He claims that Hispanics won't vote Republican, and then he tries to imply that the reason is because conservative talk show hosts are only in it for the money. Hence Republicans should distance themselves from those radio hacks, and btw, of their 100 million daily listeners! ROTFLMMFAO!!
Hey moron (not you funman, the clueless fuck that wrote that post), what do you suppose so many recent Mexican "immigrants" and Hispanic Rights Groups are in it for?! Some Republicans, and all talk show hosts on the right would like to save the average American some cash. That includes the dumbass that wrote the linked post. The idiocy in that post is laughable. Which begs the question, funman why would you cut and paste such a stupid post?
Is this the way you see conservatives? If so then you are clearly in the dark with true Conservatism. Trying reading "Liberty and Tyranny", by Mark Levin, and then come back and talk that crap. Read the book. I dare you to. I'll tell you straight up that this book is footnoted to the enth degree, and backed by sources from the government that you seem to love so much to the US Constitution and every other source from Plato to Charles Montesquie. It absolutely destroys the logic, or illogic, of your argument. In fact it destroys liberalism completely. I dare you to read it. I double dog dare ya! Oh how the lefttarded blogosphere has tried to debunk this book. They can't though! It's all provable facts that can be backed up by history, and facts. Not that the average liberal won't deny that history or ignore the facts, but there ya go.
I already know that you won't read the book funman. You know how I know that? Because you are a drone who refuses to ever read anything that differs from your world view. That is the difference between you and conservatives-(please note that I said conservatives and not Republicans). We look at all the facts outside of some partisan prism. Liberals? Not so much. Doesn't seem very
liberal to me at all. Hell funman I read both of Barry's books! You can do it funman! Don't fear that which you don't know.
