Here we go, folks. The American right wing is starting to push violent, overtly fascist European groups as models for the conservative movement.

This time we can't blame the craziness entirely on Republicans, although they're the most enthusiastic promoters of this insanity: Congress Hearing on Vaccines Is a Farce of Dangerous Antivax Nonsense.
