Tea Partiers Are Fucking Crazy

Right now, recall elections in Wisconsin, geared toward reclaiming that state's government in order to repair some of the heinous damage done by nepotist and would-be despot Scott Walker and his cronies, are in high gear.  As part of that media/political extravaganza, the Tea Party Express has several bus tour stops in Wisconsin in order to bolster the voter bases that placed those madmen in office.

It's not a surprise some of the crazy things that are being said on the Tea Party Express, but what's even crazier is the response from the audience.  At this stop in Fond du Lac, Florida talk show host Andrea Shea King took the stage and told attendees that the S&P downgrade was being blamed on the Tea Party.  Far from the response sane people might expect, the crowd reacted positively, cheering the announcement:

SHEA KING: This week—I wrote it down—they are blaming the credit downgrade on the tea party movement. 

CROWD: Yeah! [Cheers, clapping] 

SHEA KING: They are calling it "the tea party downgrade." They are objectivizing [sic] us.

I can't decide, at this point, if this is indicative of some dastardly plan perpetrated on the American people by nefarious, shadowy supervillains intent on destroying the US or if this is just some dumbfucks in a small town cheering some shit they don't understand.  Either way, this, ladies and gentlemen, is the Tea Party: clapping for the destruction of our good fiscal name.
