The Ambulance Driver takes #1 Dinosaur to task for taking what he calls a “step over into moonbat territory.”

The post he takes issue with is this one, in which #1 Dinosaur quotes this post favorably:

[A]ll of them are asking for their America back. I wonder which America that would be?

Would that be the America where the Supreme Court picks your president instead of counting all the votes? Would that be the America where rights to privacy are ignored? Would that be the America where the Vice President shoots his best friend in the face? Or would that be the America where an idiot from Alaska and a college drop-out with a radio show could become the torchbearers for the now illiterate Republican party?

I’ve only been reading the Dinosaur’s blog for a few weeks. I started when the release of her book “outed” her (she was anonymous up to that point, as I understand it) and Ambulance Driver mentioned it. I’ve enjoyed the blog. She makes a lot of sense, even when I don’t necessarily agree with what she’s saying. So, I’m with AD in finding this particular post to be a bit disappointing, since the quoted material is unnecessarily hateful (and downright dishonest, in the case of the “Supreme Court picks your president” lie).

I’m not going to quit reading her blog anytime soon – despite the title of this post, she’s really not a moonbat – but I do find this post annoying and disappointing.

Oh, and one last thing. Someone calling themselves “Mule Breath” in the comments accuses AD of an “inability to see (or at least to admit) moonbattiness and the over-the-edge thuggery of some of those professing to be on your side.” Mule Breath needs to reconsider that statement. Craziness on the right is wingnuttery, not moonbattiness.
