I thought this was a headline from the Onion. It's not.

Dick Morris has gone full Black-Helicopter batshit crazy.

Fox News contributor Dick Morris told attendees at a Republican congressional candidate event on Tuesday that he will release a new book titled Here Come the Black Helicopters! later this year. Morris' book will purportedly expose President Obama's plans to impose global government through the United Nations.

"Black helicopters is the crazy word for the UN invading the United States," Morris told the crowd. "But it's really going to happen."

For support, Morris rehashed silly claims about the Law of the Sea and the UN Arms Trade treaties. Morris claimed that Obama wants "to cede to the United Nations control of the seas" (false) and have "gun control imposed by the United Nations" (the treaty wouldn't curb gun rights).

(snip)

HarperCollins, a subsidiary of Fox News parent News Corp., is set to release the book in October. The company's description of the book says that it will "expose the most potent threat to date to our cherished way of life: the brazen and treacherous Liberal plan to circumvent our democratic processes by putting ultimate governing power in the hands of unaccountable international organizations."

Like above poster said, we're a Nation that can barely fight 2 wars simultaneously, yet somehow we have the ability to take over the world? What are they putting in the water coolers over at Fox news, bath salt?

the Dems should push for this book to be released as soon as possible and show the people just how bats**t crazy these people are. Something as insane like this would surely go a long way in convincing people that the Repugs have gone off the deep end.

and they are the ones buying governments.

Global financial power is used to buy global political power, which is used to create even greater global financial power. What the hell do we think the wars in the Middle East are all about?

There is a reason that military and economic policy don't change anymore from administration to administration.

It is time to stop pretending that this is a Republican or Democratic thing. It is about corporations buying into governments, and we are ALL being swallowed by it.

It's normally only Regnery that touches this kind of crap. This has to be a political move, and it has to have been OKed by Murdoch. October publishing date? Designed to get wall-to-wall Fox coverage, and to get out the loony tunes 27% wingnut vote.

Into batshit-land.

I guess you could kind of see it coming. He was still semi-normal in the first half of the last decade, but got progressively wackier after that.
