Caught on Camera: Teabag Terror!

Mike Castle (R-Delaware), meet the Teabag Terror.

Via Publius at Obsidian Wings, we see the Terror take over a town hall meeting:

Here’s how I described this monster back in April:
Like a mad scientist’s creation run amok, the beast that Dick Armey and his corporate sponsors will unleash won’t accomplish their end — a return to political power — but will instead hasten their political irrelevance.

Faux Noise seems determined to lead this new crusade. Roger Ailes recruited Glenn Beck to anchor a strategy to transform the cable channel into a mainstream organ of right-wing counterculture. Beck has been reading straight from militia manuals in a code that speaks to his tinfoil-hatted target audience.

What Ailes and Beck don’t understand is that you cannot tame this monster. All attempts to rein it in will only result in their being eaten by the beast they’ve released. The Teabagger Fail will give way to the Teabag Terror.

There’s no “reasoning” with the Teabag Terror. It has a mind of its own — or to be more blunt, it’s completely mindless. It is an army of the brain-dead demanding Republicans join the march in lock-step or be cleansed from the party ranks.
