Sorry to go O/T before 100 posts but this made my head hurt:

From the underlying article:

The conservative tea party icon also got in shots at Democrats and President Obama, who spoke Tuesday at Florida Atlantic University. West said Obama was “scared” to have a discussion with him. He later said “he’s heard” up to 80 U.S. House Democrats are Communist Party members, but wouldn’t name names.

I’m actually far less interested in who he thinks is a communist and much more in what his source of information was. There are a number of RW politicians across the country who clearly inform their policy decisions based on some pretty nutty sources — for example birther or birther-curious legislators — and it would be clarifying to find out what those sources are.
