The Teabagging Circus

This is the face of fascism. These are the people who are so pig-ignorant, so uninformed and so blindly led by the Fox News media shouters that they are willing to go out and protest a bill that they essentially know nothing about. The level of sheer stupidity here is amazing... and scary. As Noam Chomsky said in the post prior to this one, we need to take the Tea Partiers seriously. They want an authoritarian government, a theocracy. These are the people who will bring fascism to America, and they're working very hard to make that happen right now.

Personally, I'm not at all enraptured by the health care bill as it's currently constructed -- I think it needs to go much, much farther (hello, single payer, hello, Medicare for all...) -- but at least it's a start. And if these are the people who oppose it, well... bring it on, I say.
