Tea Party Trolls Torment

Not that it is really surprising to people who are paying attention, but the mainstream media has finally gotten in on critiquing the group for their innate racism and general lunacy (www.salon.com/news/healthcare_reform/index.html?story=/opinion/walsh/politics/2010/03/20/tea_party_racism) -- after an event yesterday where they yelled the "n" word at a series of Black politicians, spit on one, called Barney Frank a "faggot" and walked around toting signs that said they would kill those who vote for the healthcare bill: http://thinkprogress.org/2010/03/20/code-red-gun. It is extraordinary how much easier it is to get in the news for acting like a complete buffoon than for actually making a reasoned, rational argument about politics; or the media for that matter. Just ask Glenn Beck . . .
