My favorite meme is one you don’t see much anymore.  You can still find it out in the blogiverse, but it’s pretty much been consigned to the tin-foil hat crowd.

The meme is almost exclusively uttered by rightwing nuts and Repugs and is a variation of this theme:

It’s a shame the Democrats have so marginalized themselves because the US needs a healthy two-party system.

Typically, this meme is repeated by rightwingers offering "advice" to their liberal counterparts.  Of course, this "advice" is for Dems to adopt GOP policies.  IOW, the Repugs don’t want a real two party system–they want two parties with identical ideologies.

Of course, the results of the 2006 mid-term elections nicely eviscerated this meme.

Favorite example is from a character named G(lenn) Chapman Godbey:

What makes it a shame is that we really need more than one party that understands war. I need it so that my efforts at work aren’t wasted, if not worse…

This example would be pretty funny if it were written in 2003 or 2004. But the fact it was written in late November 2006–after the mid-term elections and after the US electorate had rejected Young Master Bush’s Excellent Adventure in Iraq™–it’s hilarious.

Further reading: America’s views of GOP crumbling.

Via Roger Ailes (the good one):

Frank Gaffney, uber-hawk and generally insane, tries to use a quote by Honest Abe Lincoln in an op-ed in the Moonie Times:

Congressmen who willfully take actions during wartime that damage morale and undermine the military are saboteurs and should be arrested, exiled, or hanged.

– President Abraham Lincoln

Gaffney goes on to argue, of course, that since Lincoln said such a thing, it ought to be permissible to arrest, exile, or hang those in Congress who don’t voice support for Young Master Bush’s failed Iraq quagmire.

Small glitch: the quote from Lincoln is bogus.

Note: whenever you see a rightwinger use a quote, chances are the quote is false or taken out of context.  History militates against rightwing ideology.
