OhBrother and countymounty are perfect examples of why Obama kicked ass in this past election. If the right doesn't grow out of the juvenile tea party smackdown stage, we will indeed become a one party country. That would be a great tragedy, because the right--by which I mean the ever-dwindling thinking and principled right--is needed for counterbalancing wisdom. The principles of limited government and individual autonomy have long and distinguished histories, have played important roles in American political thought and expression. But if the right keeps courting the red meat racist element so obviously present, among others, at these "townhalls" and anti-Obama rallies, the right and its Republican party will join the Whigs in the dustbin of history. I think that OhBrother and countymounty sort of know this or at least sense it, and that is probably what makes them so nasty.
