The AP has a story picked up all over the media that compiles what others have known for awhile. AP traces the raising of Cain as a years-long Koch Bros’ funding and grooming enterprise, pulled off by having Mr. Cain be for the Koch Bros. and AFP’s agenda what Ronald Reagan was for Big Tobacco, G.E. and the anti-socialist crusade.

I see the wingnuts are running around trying to tie the Occupy Wall Street movement with Nazis and Communists. Oh, this is going to be fun.

The Occupy movement has spread from Wall Street, to D.C. to other areas throughout the country and even internationally.

Who could have anticipated FoxNews saying it is getting too much coverage?

One of the best byproducts of the Occupy Wall Street protests is that they’ve made Republicans show their true colors. America is watching as they cast off the faux right-wing populism of the Teabaggers — which was always a pose — and unabashedly embrace the monied oligarchy.

Now that a genuinely grassroots movement (not an astroturf creation of Dick Armey) has risen up against Wall Street, the right is lashing out.

Immigration will doom the Secessionist’s campaign. Willard is already running attack ads against him on the issue, and now, Texas Teabaggers — who never liked the Secessionist — are piling on, too.

Tea Partiers resemble the selfish fools who swarmed the Titanic’s lifeboats, knocking women and children out of the way, more than they resemble the band of 18th century protestors who dumped some tea into Boston Harbor.

Once again, conservative apologists are blaming lone “jerks” for the terrible outburst at the last GOP presidential debate. Oh how they abhor accountability. Cynical leaders and empty-minded followers create a climate of hatred and violence and then when the unpardonable happens, the creators scurry for cover.

Shouting “Yay!” to Wolf Blitzer’s question about whether Ron Paul recommends letting the unlucky and uninsured die, the Tea Party crowd simply revealed the gaping hole in its soul.

They’re back all ready, have at them.

Thomas Friedman is once again orthogonal to reality. In his column today he urges a “grand bargain” where the Republicans abandon extremists of the right and agree to tax increases and Democrats abandon extremists of the left and agree to cut Medicare and Social Security (euphemistically referred to as “entitlements”). There is one little problem with Friedman’s story…

How do you parody people who are already caricatures?
