It does seem that reality is bitter pill to swallow for these folks. It was comforting to see that alot of people defended the tea partiers. I had not read the comments section until you mentioned it, thanks for the heads up!
If you read a little of Taibbi, you might think he is a kindred spirit: He opposes crap and trade, megabanks, and now Obama. But if you read carefully you will see that if he were in charge, things would be worse than under Obama. Those who read the last page will see that he deems Tea Partiers to be uneducated/racist/redneck.
