enlarge Gee, it sounds like a match made in Tea Party Heaven: Sarah Palin and Jerry Boykin, appearing on the same stage to deliver a good ol’ fashioned right-wing fundamentalist “Tribute to the Troops” : Former Alaska governor and vice-presidential nominee Sarah Palin will be the keynote speaker for Tribute to the Troops, a military and veterans appreciation rally at Colorado Christian University on May 2, 2011. Boykin will speak on “Our Debt of Gratitude”. Not sure what that means — but since it’s coming from the guy who brought you both Abu Ghraib and Waco , it could be anything. As Kyle at RightWingWatch observes : Since leaving the military, Boykin has joined up with self-proclaimed prophet Rick Joyner and become the Religious Right’s resident “expert” on all things Islam and a leading member of the Religious Right’s Spartan-like army . He is also the man who exposed the fact that President Obama is a Marxist who intends to use the health care reform legislation to build an army of Brownshirts loyal only to him … Indeed, it was while elucidating on this charge that it became clear that Boykin is a direct military descendant of Gen.

More recently, he’s been declaring “Molon Labe” to the dirty America-hating secret-Muslim libruls who he’s convinced are coming to take his “rights” away. Combined with Palin’s presence … well, let’s just hope that the critical mass of wingnuttery coming together in one place like that doesn’t open a hole in the space-time continuum.
