Hypocrite

I’m just going to quote this Talking Points Memo post in its entirety.

The Washington Post today has a profile of Mike Vanderboegh, the 57-year-old former militiaman from Alabama who last week posted a call for people to throw bricks through the windows at Democratic offices around the country to protest their votes for Health Care Reform. Whether the people who actually did this over the last week did so in reaction to his call to arms is not clear. But he’s happy to take credit and others are crediting him too.

But Vanderboegh really is a classic exemplar of scream-at-your-TV tea-partyish extremism. A radical libertarian, champion of getting big government off the people’s backs, his day job? Vanderboegh lives on government disability checks down outside of Birmingham, Alabama.

I have nothing to add.

  1. Wow, that truly is priceless. Personally, I’d be in favor of all the tea-partiers giving up their Medicare and trying to obtain health insurance on their own – if they can find it.
