I've written before that the right wingers have created an ever more complex mythology which is increasingly divorced from reality, but with this latest salvo it's apparent that they're on a one way trip to their fantasyland and they aren't likely to return.
There are nutters and conspiracy theorists (not necessarily a pejorative term) all across the political spectrum, but we're not talking about fringe beliefs or figures, we're talking about the leading lights of the conservative movement. They're nuts.
