Anti-tax teabag protesters

From the pictures posted on yahoo.com, you'll see the same wing-nuts stirring up a sea of white faces similar to the Palin rallies of 2008. The anti-"socialism" rhetoric used to gain political momentum among the right wing grass roots base could so easily be taken one logical step further by another Timothey McVey, just as Homeland Security has warned us. In the bizarro world of fundamentalist redneck culture, being patriotic has mutated into anti-government bigotry. The concerns of these people are legitimate, but they are being manipulated by Newt Gingrich, Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, etc. for political gain, hastening us towards a scenario much like the one which preceded the Nazi era of Germany. This has been done by Fox news and talk radio, which is overwhelmingly right-wing. Nothing much to do but keep one's eyes and ears open for the next terrorist attack, which in my opinion is just as likely to come from the ranks of Sarah Palin's grunts as it is from Al Quaeda...
