for profit and short-term political advantage in a faction fight over control of the far right.
dick army---which is still my favorite name for a national politician ever---has appointed himself "leader" of the teabaggers and is threatening conservatives with hell to pay in the coming mid-terms if they do not tow the teabagger line---pull them out of the water at the appropriate time, presumably.
what concerns me really is a scenario of political paralysis and economic crisis in a context wherein a mobilized neo-fascism is getting media play and--to my horror--some traction.
what seems more likely to happen is that the neo-fascist right is doing itself tremendous damage by exposing its racist underpinnings so obviously. they'd be better off staying vague.
