Right-wing and religious nutters are nothing unique to the US... every country has a bunch, no need to be any more embarrassed than the rest of us

We did. You did. Yes we can. No.

I didn't read the links, but to me, it's the carrying guns to rallies and making statements that are just short of legally actionable threats against the president, while claiming to be oppressed and endangered, that is kind of special.

I'm all for speaking truth to power and standing up for what you believe in but these guys just seem to be Obama bashing without any real underlying cause. At least when the war protesters called Bush 'Hitler' and varouis other choice names, we knew why. These people must be racist. Why else do you only see a handful of token black people? The majority are white caucasian.
They take their name from the Boston Tea party who were protesting taxtation without representation. Obama has lowered taxes for most Americans. Most teabaggers are claiming fear of what's going to happen rather than anything that actually has. And it's all mainly due to fox news network and republican shills like Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh. These guys get people so paniced up that they'll believe anything they say. They're trying to keep Americans angry and scared like we were on 9-12.
The closest thing I can find toward a unifying cause would be health care which people rightly have concerns. But most of these retirees rely on medicare and the va yet are the loudest ones screaming about socialism and communism. A complete contradiction.

I think the Obama Hitler moustaches were bad, but that reaction is waay overdone. Cool down and think strategically.

Personally, I simply see that as an invocation of Godwin's Law, which just goes to show how weak their footing is to begin with.

Well one thing is for certain, our country has become very politcally divided. I had the "pleasure" of political discussion (sometimes heated) with some of my conservative family members during our vacation. We agreed to disagree on many issues and the discussions accomplished little.
