salto mortale

A survey of unhinged responses to the fires:

When I say on the air, and I've said it a lot lately, that we need to come together and we need to get back into the center, we're being pushed on to the edges -- I want you to understand, that is not on policies. I don't mean that we come in the center on policies. We come to the center on principles. We come back to the center of the melting pot, that we're all one America, that just because I disagree with you doesn't mean you hate America, and I love America. We all love America. We just disagree on how we should function, what we should do, big government, small government. It doesn't mean you hate America. I think there is a handful of people who hate America. Unfortunately for them, a lot of them are losing their homes in a forest fire today.

Thanks, Glenn. You're sad.

But don't think it's just The Man With the Lowest Ratings on Cable. He has his cheerleaders amongst the mouthbreathers. Very attractive people, all of them.

This psycho thinks the answer is to privatize firefighting. Helpful.

Then there's this lament, from a deep thinker at Free Republic:

None of any of the people arrested for starting fires in Southern California in the past few years have been Muslim, despite much hope to the contrary.

Yeah, that was my hope too.

The compassion of a Little Green Footballs commenter is to be commended:

Drop liberals on the fire. I'm not sure if they'll stop the fire, but they certainly retard things.

And this being LGF, there's of course the not-so-veiled racism:

CALIFORNIA:
500,000 evacuees:
- No riots.
- No looting.
- No shootings.
- No mass desertion by local law enforcement.
- No cannibalism (hat tip - Huffington Post)
- Calm, orderly, polite evacuation centers.
- Well organized, efficient State emergency response.
- Calm, cool Governor acting like a leader.

NEW ORLEANS:
- Hell.

But I'm sure these are all wonderful people and "real" Americans.
