@BuckyDunGunn lol! The irony of his comment is that Southerners really miss their slaves and Jim Crow laws. Sadly, the American Civil War never really ended. The Teabagger party is evidence of that fact...

"The South Shall Rise Again!"

0:23 Counter argument -> England.

Teabaggers are stupid. Very stupid.

That Washington! What a fear monger. [insert sarcasm here]

Fear, fear, fear, fear.....That's all the right can ever do to get ahead. I hope that not everyone falls for these idiots tactics. Those that do are like sheep being led to slaughter. Come on rational people.....NOVEMBER IS COMING!!!!!!

[smcon7]

Fear, fear, and even more fear. That is exactly how the right do it and lets hope that not everyone blindly follows these idiots and become like the proverbial sheep to slaughter. Come one rational people....NOVEMBER!!!!!!

Question: what happens if corporations decide the federal government isn't on their side enough, and the only non-corporate, non-gov't people with guns are right-wing authoritarians who listen to Rush Limbaugh?

Excellent reporting, Max, as usual.

The Teabaggers are as "spontaneous" as heat in the desert and as "ground-roots" as the Carlyle Corporation.

Mindless zombies happy-clapping to the Beckfuhrer and teabagging each other with Guns, Gays and God.

Fascism has NEVER been so much on display and so vacuously open.

Good luck, the thinking, aware people left in America. You're going to need it against the zombie army of Corporate Plunder.

@obamaismybitch No, you're thinking of *Richard* Blumenthal.
