Follow this link to the story in Slate by Ron Rosenbaum.

He describes what is toxic about the Tea Party’s distorted version of history.

The muddled Tea Party version of history is more than wrong and fraudulent. It’s offensive. Calling Obama a tyrant, a communist, or a fascist is deeply offensive to all the real victims of tyranny, the real victims of communism and fascism. The tens of millions murdered. It trivializes such suffering inexcusably for the T.P.ers to claim that they are suffering from similar oppression because they might have their taxes raised or be subject to demonic “federal regulation.”

I don’t know what to make of the link to Victoria Jackson’s interview on Faux Noise. Is she still acting the ditzy airhead upon which she based her comedic career or is that really what passes for her thinking?
