Paranoia and projection are clearly the hallmarks of Michael Bader's personal pathology. His paranoia is apparent when he sees people whom he opposes politically as "crazy f**kers" (He is gratuitously foul-mouthed as well. And using the word "f**ker" as a pejorative! Someone could write a doctoral thesis on this poor man's hatred/sexuality issues). Often, paranoids see themselves surrounded by those who are against them or trying to ruin their lives. Michael sees all those whom he personally opposes as both pathetically stupid and emotionally stunted, revealing his own clear narcissistic tendencies as well. Wow. Who is his therapist? Barack Obama?
Of course, finding patients for psychoanalysis in San Francisco is as easy as finding sand on a beach. When the market is so huge, one can expect to find plenty of bottomfeeders like Michael who slake their own psychological needs by projecting their illness onto others.
Having seen plenty of Tea Party media coverage, I have yet to view an event where the attendants were uniformly angry or bitter. They seldom resort to the F word as Michael does in his first sentence! In fact, most of the time these folks seem to be enjoying themselves often joking and laughing with each other.
This article reveals much more about the sad mental state of the writer than is does regarding Tea Partiers in general. Frankly, I would trust any one of them chosen at random to babysit my children over this apoplectically vituperative and self-consciously "progressive" stereotype, Michael Bader.
Well played, you bitter clinger! :)
Very well said.
