Probably no endorsements from Rick Santorum or JD Hayworth coming

As if Republicans in Georgia don't have an embarrassment- if not an embarrassment of riches- in their gubernatorial candidate recently arrested for calling for the murder of Elton John, and who's admitted he's had sex with a mule and would kill his own son to help Georgia secede- another party candidate has issued an incredible statement that has triggered even more incredible back and forth traffic over the nature of right wingery. TPM has the awe-inspiring texts.

The new embarrassment has one thing in common with Mr Mule Sex: he's a secesh, too:

McBerry -- who now works as a producer of radio and TV commercials, and is polling around 2 percent in the race -- is the chair of the Georgia chapter of the League of the South, which describes itself as "a Southern Nationalist organization whose ultimate goal is a free and independent Southern republic." (You can watch McBerry explaining his view that the Civil War had nothing to do with slavery here.) The group's website is currently promoting McBerry's candidacy. And McBerry's own website declares: "NOT Atlanta, NOT Washington... but GEORGIA FIRST!"
