		<description>My niece, aka the only other sane non-teabagger in my extended family, called me yesterday and commented about the extreme rage being exhibited by our family &amp; other teabaggers we know. We are both somewhat mystified by the incendiary and non-abating rage, although it&#039;s clear that stoking anger (over nothing) is a good manipulation tool.  Anger is one of those base but intense emotions that really motivates *some* of us.

My neice is learning not to engage her mom and other family members in political discussions, but has done so in the recent past. She got nothing coherent as to why they were all so angry. So shorter teabagger rally: they are all angry but no one knows why.

The imagery they use, esp of the concentration camps in Germany, is clearly meant to stoke that rage, but bears no relation to any current reality. Eric Cantor *should* be ashamed of himself for associating with such dreck, but money talks...  what an @$$hole.

What&#039;s disturbing is how far over the Overton window is being pushed.  While I love to diss Bible Spice and the rest of these chumps, I do have serious concern about where this will lead and end up.

I feel the worst kind of concern troll, but these teabaggers (as stupid as they are and look) are very clearly being manipulated in very definite ways. Weirdo Glenn Beck is getting paid to be the way he acts bc it IS working (no matter how gibberously inane &amp; contradictory he is). 

I&#039;ll get offa my soap box now (gotta get to work), but will end on a lighter note:

Yes, I loved the footage of that wingnut dissing us DFH about allegedly hating the Pledge and then messing it up, but not before screaming out the &quot;UNDER GOD&quot; part.  Sheesh.  Dolts.

Also Boner yelling about the constitution and then reciting the beginning of the Declaration of Independence.  Man-tan Dolt on steriods.

And there is footage somewhere of some teabagger screaming: Palin/Bachmann 2012!!!!!!  Yeeesh.</description>

		<description>KO has it correct. That was a hate rally and IT IS frightening. 

This is sick. Bachmann is not a leader nor deserves her public office by leading such hate.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;they are tenthers all
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Given the wall of elected thugs standing in front/behind the fruitcakes yesterday, that would be a logical assumption.
