By the same token (apparently), <a href="http://www.rightwingwatch.org/content/cuccinelli-liberals-are-most-intolerant-people-america" rel="nofollow">liberals are the most intolerant people in America</a>.<br /><br />In any case, we have been somewhat slow to update on his recent campaign, the platforms of which included at least of <a href="http://www.rightwingwatch.org/content/cuccinelli-campaign-warns-future-where-pastors-are-thrown-jail-homeschooling-outlawed" rel="nofollow">warning his fans</a> of an immanent future where pastors are thrown in jail and homeschooling is outlawed. Without evidence, of course, but that goes without saying. It was a warning intended to feed into the paranoia of the crazies who supported him after all. Unfortunately for him, his extreme agenda <a href="http://www.rightwingwatch.org/content/cuccinellis-extreme-agenda-flops-once-again-supreme-court" rel="nofollow">tended to flop with the supreme courts</a> (his attempts to revisit a ban on sodomy being a particularly glaring example). Nevertheless, for some tea party leaders Cuccinelli <a href="http://www.rightwingwatch.org/content/tea-party-leader-ultraconservative-ken-cuccinelli-not-conservative-enough" rel="nofollow">was apparently not conservative enough</a>.<br /><br />Some reactions to his election loss are <a href="http://www.rightwingwatch.org/content/cuccinelli-backers-we-were-betrayed-expel-bolling" rel="nofollow">here</a>, and they range from the insane to the batshit crazy.

I considered writing an intro along the lines of "Isn't this unbelievably hilarious and outrageous?", but incorrectly assumed that kind of heavy-handed explanation would not be necessary on a skeptical, humorous blog.
