Last night's Rachel Maddow show was classic. If you didn't see it, I highly recommend the segment where Rachel and Ana-Marie Cox mercilessly mocked the right's Tea Party protests -- Rachel could barely get through it. But mockery of the right-wing and of the Republican Party are nothing new for Rachel...or Keith for that matter. First Read on the other hand...(h/t kos):

Republicans Gone Wild, part II: Back in late February, a month into the Obama presidency, we noted how a couple of GOP senators said some outlandish things -- first when Richard Shelby seemed to question Obama's citizenship, and then when Jim Bunning predicted Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg would be dead in nine months. Well, now some of their House colleagues are giving those statements a run for their money. Presumably doing his best McCarthy impression, GOP Rep. Spencer Bachus said there were 17 members of the U.S. House who are socialists but didn't name names, the Birmingham News reported. And that came after the always-controversial Rep. Michele Bachmann called for an "orderly revolution" against Obama's policies. ("We can't let the Democrats achieve their ends any longer," she said.) Just five months after Obama's decisive 53%-46% victory, we've got to ask: What is going on with some Republican elected officials? Are they watching too much Glenn Beck? Seriously, could the bizarre rantings of this new darling of the right have something to do with this? GOP lawmakers, when speaking to supporters at home, are getting more odd questions. Could this Beck phenomenon be the reason? He truly has a "middle of the night" am radio quality to some of his rants.

Republicans will just chalk this up to liberal bias, of course, but they would be wrong. It's not liberal to be anti-crazy.

Any other examples of the open mockery of Republicans by unbiased media sources?
