What’s funny about this is how exaggerated it isn’t. This is an example of the very the same old Republican Base we have suffered for a century or more. Nothing has changed but what we call them. This year it is the "Tea Party", before that the "Republican Base", before that "Red States", before that the "Religious Right", before that the "Moral Majority", before that the "John Birchers", before that the "McCarthyites" before that it was "fascists", before that the "Know Nothings" and before that the Confederates. Its the same old ugliness that has been with us throughout history.
