re: #6 Killgore Trout

Tea Party protesters also stupidly embraced the “right wing extremist” label too. I just don’t know what they’re thinking.

The crazy is penetrating new markets every day, with full-fledged black helicopter paranoia moving into Free Republic, for example. This outburst would be no big deal on an Alex Jones nutburger site, but it hasn’t been too long since Free Republic was part of the conservative mainstream. It was heavily involved along with Charles in exposing the Bush TANG docs back in 2004, for example.
(As usual, I was late in posting and missed the new thread where it might have been more appropriate.)
