Tea Party-style Right-Populist Paranoia

Tea Party populism is based on trolling for miserable people who are mad for all sorts of reason, then try to pin decades of this rage, who's misery was amplified by Bush-era policies, at today's Democrats and Obama. Add a little racism and the boogie man and there you are.
"We can’t just play defense in this fight. What Yglesias fails to understand is that the ideology Stack subscribed to is the problem. All across the country are sleeper cells preaching hatred of the tax code, gathering in public to denounce the results of a democratic election and sow the seeds of sectarian violence. They even have a major television network sympathetic to their sick agenda. The threat is there for all to see."

Joe Stack was encouraged to attack the IRS building by the radical clerics on Fox. Are we going to wait for these Tea Party threats to gather?

Extremist cells are not just in the Middle East.
