...violent opposition from mediocre minds." Albert Einstein said that.
As we bear witness to the insanity of the far right as they try to disrupt Obama's health insurance reform plans, Mark Kleiman over at The Reality-Based Community makes a great observation:
"No doubt it would shock the teabaggers - no doubt most of them churchgoers - who are now chanting slogans to shout down Members of Congress to know that their behavior is rather ... pagan. Notice that the motivations are the same; the mob at Ephesus was organized by the idol-makers, whose lucrative trade was threatned by Christianity, just as the mobs disrupting the town-halls are organized by the health-care industry racketeers."

Plus the public face of the "movement" is the former head of HCA, whose company was hit with a federal fine of $1.7 billion for Medicare fraud. Watch the Rick Sanchez smack down on YouTube to get a load of this guy. What irony!
