No wonder he’s pissed.
Courtesy James Walcott, I discovered a wonderful post by Driftglass. The thesis is that “everybody knows” the tea party and its associated crazies, murderers, and thugs was created by Conservatives. But nobody will say so out loud. Except liberals, of course. But then they get all kinds of shit for it. See, for example, the recent right-wing sob job over Democrats’ allegedly calling them “terrorists,” when that, of course, is exactly what they are: takers of hostages and spewers of death and destruction.
But enough of my outrage. Here is a sample of Driftglass’ wondrous prose:
“Conservatives built this monster.
It didn’t just wander out of the woods one day, or land here from another planet. The Wingnut Base — whatever teabagger, Colonial Williamsburg camouflage they’re sporting this week, and however hard the media tries to pretend they aren’t who we know they are — was manufactured by the Conservative Movement to win elections. Made right here in the U S of A out of spare parts left over from the Segregationist South, Right-wing fundamentalism, Bircher paranoia and general Archie Bunker pig-ignorance.
Conservatives built the unholy thing, programmed it, wounded it up and sent it out to do their bidding.
And everyone knows it. David Brooks knows it. David Gregory. Tom Friedman. David Frum. The goofs at the “No Labels” freakshow. The entire GOP Brain Caste.
Everybody.
This is the same monster that never gave a shit that Reagan/Bush were running up historic deficits, or sold weapons to terrorists to finance illegal wars. The same monster that hunted and impeached Clinton. The same monster that completely looses its shit over “activist judges”…right up until five of the most malignantly activist judges in modern history put their candidate in the White House and gave corporations the right to buy elections.”
This is just a sample of Driftglass’ righteousness. And he/she is right on about who is to blame for this state of affairs as well. So get yourself on over there and read the rest of it:
