Conservative media split over Obama Derangement Syndrome

March 31, 2009 12:01 pm ET by Eric Boehlert

That's ODS, or the continued, and completely unhinged, reaction to the new Democratic administration from the GOP Noise Machine.

From the extremely far-right FrontPageMag, David Horowitz laments:

I have been watching an interesting phenomenon on the Right, which is beginning to cause me concern. I am referring to the over-the-top hysteria in response to the first months in office of our new president, which distinctly reminds me of the “Bush Is Hitler” crowd on the Left.

And from the equally far-right site Little Green Footballs:

Good for David Horowitz; his latest column for FrontPage makes many of the same points I’ve been hammering away at since Barack Obama was elected (leading to a series of meltdowns in our comment threads, and a barrage of hate mail that shows no sign of letting up). Horowitz is on the mark when he says way too many on the right are now suffering from Obama Derangement Syndrome.

Pssst, Michelle Malkin, I'm pretty sure they're talking about you.

      Yikes. You know it's really gone overboard when LGF and Horowitz are concerned.

      I applaud these two for making this point.  BDS was the constant attack from the right to legitimate concerns over the election in 2000, 9/11, Iraq and Katrina.  Now the yahoos on the right have ODS after only two months.  This is priceless.  I think they are talking to Mark Levin.  He has wen't absolutely nuts in the last month but sionce he is hawking a book I don't know if it is all just for sales.

      Some criticism of BHO does get nutty. However I do not recall that in our history that we have had a President quite like this.
      He is a radical & completely out of touch with American values.
      He is not the spawn of satan but he is a narcisstic, dangerous radical.
