Lunatics

Tea Party Nation Founder Judson Phillips wrote, “The shooter [Jared Lee Loughner] was a liberal lunatic. Emphasis on both words.”

A curious pronouncement, given that the writings of Loughner (where they could be deciphered at all) match the rhetoric of the far right wing of American politics.

Interesting how, when someone does something embarassing, like assassinate a liberal politician, the lunatic’s use of the anti-government rhetoric of the Tea Party “proves” the lunatic is a liberal anarchist (another term being bandied about by Tea Partiers).

Meethinks the right wing doth protest too much.
