What GOP Extremism?

Republican candidates peddle all flavors of crazy at Tea Party debate

Ron Paul’s “let ‘em die” health plan wasn’t the only appalling moment in last night’s debate. Not by a long shot.

Here we see the audience booing Ron Paul for saying “the whole Muslim world” was not responsible for 9/11. (Preceded by the usual “they hate our American exceptionalism” incantations from Rick Santorum.)

And Michele Bachmann came out as an anti-vaccination kook. (In addition to all her other weird beliefs.)

And all of the candidates were spewing lies like mendacious firehoses: Fact-checking the CNN/Tea Party Express GOP debate.

The Republican Party is deranged and disconnected from reality, and that’s very bad news for America.

 Frank says:

Ever try to have a conversation with someone on drugs? It just doesn't work... -- Sometime during the summer of 1987, when asked by a DC reporter, "what are your feelings on the war on drugs?" His first response was to criticize the inherent invasion of privacy, followed by the above statement against drug use.
