Future historians tracing the crackup of the Republican Party may well look to May 8, 2010, as an inflection point.
That was the day, as is now well known, that Sen. Robert Bennett, who took the conservative position 84 percent of the time over his career, was deemed not conservative enough by fellow Utah Republicans and booted out of the primary.
Less well known, but equally ominous, is what happened that same day, 2,500 miles east in Maine. There, the state Republican Party chucked its platform -- a sensible New England mix of free-market economics and conservation -- and adopted a manifesto of insanity: abolishing the Federal Reserve, calling global warming a "myth," sealing the border, and, as a final plank, fighting "efforts to create a one world government."...
Beck justifiably credited his viewers for "what happened to Bob Bennett in Utah." He warned: "People in Washington, you should be terrified."
We should be terrified -- particularly the Republicans, whose party is turning into this One-World-Government, Obama-worships-Satan, Jesus-opposes-climate-bill mélange. ...

No it doesn't. In fact it shows the people finally finding their voice, will and determination.
LOL at Dana Milbank.
Who thinks a nation of almost 400 million people should have a one party state with no divergence of opinions or philosophies, otherwise we are cracking up.
Psst Dana: check out North Korea, or Cuba. I think you’d like it there, politically speaking.
No bias here-just straight news reporting.
Conservatives tried to play nice - and got nothing but ridicule. It is long past time to take the gloves off. It is time that we fight to win.
Dana you flaming fag. The only thing you are afraid of is a patriotic revival in this country which will expose you degenerates for what you are and marginilize you for a generation.
Milbank thinks things are bad now, just wait until we come for the reds in the press.

I beg to differ with the author. This is not a “crack up” it is a “crack down”! We are cleaning house, literally.
You can vote conservatively 99% of the time but if the one vote you stray on is AMNESTY of CAP&TRADE then that 99% is indistinguishable from 0%.
Really, I do.
Proud to be "WaPo Insane"!
It’s a RINO purge and the Dems are scared out of their wits.
Contrast the dynamic, thinking GOP with any gathering of Dem zombies who show up for a standard recitation of grievances and 5 minutes of pandering per fringe group.
Spare me your sanctimonious, beltway political analysis bulls--t.
The main problem with Bennett wasn’t so much his conservatism as his having been there for wayyyyyyyyyy too long.
This article has the smell of fear around it.
The roots of the tree of liberty are dying of thirst. Just saying...
I find it amusing that these liberal columnists are so worried about the fate of the GOP.
With a name like Dana Milbank I’m assumng he’s comes from a long line of privileged sissies.
Come Senators, Congressmen, please heed the call
Don’t stand in the doorway, don’t block up the hall
For who gets hurt will be he who has stalled
There’s a battle outside and it’s ragin’
It’ll soon shake your windows and rattle your walls
For the times they are a-changin’
