Reminiscent of the Right’s Summer of Rage 2009. Tea partiers and other disaffected conservatives went to town hall meetings and essentially flipped out over everything from birth certificates to health care (which, btw, helps helps private insurance cos. and doesn’t amount to a “govt takeover of health care.”)

As the video shows, we’re talking about mobs of ill-informed people who aren’t really upset about Obama policies as much as the very idea of Obama. It’s primarily cultural grievance. If you don’t see this, you’re either not looking closely or you’re ignorant of US history.
