In my previous post, Dr. Jones links to this Andy McArthy post at The Corner, which offers the following quote from the Spectator's Melanie Phillips: You have to pinch yourself – a Marxisant radical who all his life has been mentored by, sat at the feet of, worshipped with, befriended, endorsed the philosophy of, funded and been in turn funded, politically promoted and supported by a nexus comprising black power anti-white racists, Jew-haters, revolutionary Marxists, unrepentant former terrorists and Chicago mobsters, is on the verge of becoming President of the United States.

This kind of nuttery, however, can only bring The Simpsons to mind.
