"Photos That Make the Rude Pundit
Want to Down a Keg of Millstream and Freebase Wheat."

##snip##

"Now the saddest part of this billboard in Mason City, Iowa paid for by the North Iowa Tea Party, is not the idiotic comparison of President Barack Obama to Hitler and Lenin. Oh, no. It's not the absolutely disingenuous response from the group, which was, 'The pictures overwhelmed the message. The message is socialism.' That's like saying the real issue in the Roman Polanski case is our extraditin treaties."

2. That stupid billboard not only pisses off the majority who voted for Obama
it's also neatly divided the Iowa teabaggers, some of whom are just smart enough to realize it's divisive and so overstated that it's making them all look just as crazy as they are.

Teabaggers are rage junkies already, continuously whipped into a froth of hate and fear by their favorite radio and TV ranters, and this is not a great way to build a movement of any type. They'll be at each other's throats and completely forget about ours.
