A few days ago I wrote about the hilariously misguided (and factually wrong) teabagger effort at having the Electoral College nullify President Barack Obama's second term.

Even more funny than the original column, however, was the commenter reaction. Join me below the fold as we engage in the time-honored internet tradition of "nutpicking"—that is, pulling out the dumbest lines in a comment thread.

It's stuff like this ...



[Obama] is a harvard law professor of course the electoral COLLEGE will side with one of their own. This is the true scandal here.

... so you know it'll be awesome.

And I know many of you will think, "no way this can be real." Seriously people, stop overestimating the wingnuts. They are really that crazy.
