You know that part in all the monster movies, when the monster turns on the scientist, and the scientist goes "No! You can't kill me! I MADE YOU!" Well, that's begun to happen to Republicans. Here is Lindsey Ghrahm (R-SC) being attacked by the very teabaggers/nutjobs he helped create.
Its a bittersweet moment for me. Realisitcally, this isn't the first time this has happened. There was a point around this time last year when the nuts in the audience at a McCain rally started screaming the N-Word about Obama, and the senator had a look of crushed despair on his face as he realized what he had created. These nuts are answerable to no one and are dangerous and unhinged. They are increasingly radical and focusing more and more on forcing the Republican party farther to the right.
Bill Maher said it best when he stated that the democrats had moved to the right, while the republicans had moved into the nuthouse.
The people most to blame for this, to be honest, would have to be Fox News. I think, (hope?) that America has stopped asking if Fox is a balanced news network, and has started asking if they're even a legitimate news organization, or if they've become, as the White House said "The propoganda arm of the GOP".
The worst part is that the froth-at-the-mouth members of the news team there (Beck, Hannity, Doocy, et al) are either legitimately insane; or are faking it for ratings, disingeiously poking ann unhinged and unmedicated bear with a very sharp stick, knowing that if one of these people does snap, they can safely wash their hands of it.
