that is like satire you write when you are trying to troll a right-wing site, but then delete it because its waaaaaay to over the top.

People take that stuff seriously im assuming. I bet Miller wrote that and though "damn, this is well worded and well reasoned piece."

the author starts railing against Woodrow Wilson for starting class warfare and getting us involved in foreign affairs. Hahahaha ok, dude. Like anyone who is a follower is going to know who Wilson was or what life was like during the gilded age.

Historical illiteracy is dangerous. These guys bank their business model on it.

Everyone of their "writers" are just plain nuts! They also have links to other sites just as hilariously "fair and balanced". These are people that will never be reachable or reasoned with.

lurking around these outhouses (more appropriate but less polite word comes to mind).
We need to make others aware of the most onerous Bullsh**, complete with a factual rebuttal.
Once we can do that among ourselves we need a way to pass the word on to the "uninformed voter".

I know that many here would rather not be reminded of Teapublican garbage, but it's only going to get worse!

Imagen if we could have effectively called BS on that whole "Muslin" thing.
It is not that Teapublicans are better at organizing. They simply have an well working echo chamber.

We need to find a way to short circuit that echo chamber.
This is something I think we should look into.
