Funny. The wingnuts are so wingnutty that McCain can’t even hold town halls anymore:

The town hall format was supposed be the Republican nominee’s favorite campaign forum, highlighting his shoot-from-the-hip style, his broad knowledge on a slew of issues and his irreverent wit. He loved it so much that he challenged Obama to a string of town hall debates.

But with their potential for amplifying unscripted outbursts and attention-diverting disasters, the microphones at high school gymnasiums and basketball arenas across the swing states have gone silent during the final stretch of the presidential campaign. McCain, a man who has prided himself on discussions with the common man, has not entertained a single question from audience members since Oct. 10, when he faced a belligerent crowd in Lakeville, Minn., that at times turned against him. …

But the angry crowds — including people who screamed “terrorist” and “liar” in reference to Obama — worried McCain and his campaign aides, who feared a backlash from undecided and less partisan voters. McCain himself on occasion sought to soothe his crowds’ emotions after media reports started focusing on their out-of-control comments.

“We want to fight, and I will fight,” McCain told supporters earlier this month in Minnesota. “But I will be respectful. I admire Sen. Obama and his accomplishments. I don’t mean to reduce your ferocity. … I just mean to say, you have to be respectful.”

The crowd largely ignored his plea.

Wingnuttery has lost this election for the Republicans. But of course they don’t understand that.

Good.
