Frank Rich is right. The Wingnut Rage is not about HCR. In Darleen Click's own words:

Said Rich:

The Rage Is Not About Health Care
By FRANK RICH

(...)

How curious that a mob fond of likening President Obama to Hitler knows so little about history that it doesn’t recognize its own small-scale mimicry of Kristallnacht. The weapon of choice for vigilante violence at Congressional offices has been a brick hurled through a window. So far.

No less curious is how disproportionate this red-hot anger is to its proximate cause. The historic Obama-Pelosi health care victory is a big deal, all right, so much so it doesn’t need Joe Biden’s adjective to hype it. But the bill does not erect a huge New Deal-Great Society-style government program. In lieu of a public option, it delivers 32 million newly insured Americans to private insurers. As no less a conservative authority than The Wall Street Journal editorial page observed last week, the bill’s prototype is the health care legislation Mitt Romney signed into law in Massachusetts. It contains what used to be considered Republican ideas.

A winger gets straight to the truth. It's that uppity thing:

Oh I know I’m going to get called names on this. But I’m not going to play that game anymore. Like the sign at one of the TEA parties that said “it doesn’t matter what this sign says, you going to call it racist anyway.” When even the lawsuits now being brought by 30 plus state AG’s is considered racist, it is time to stop playing that game.

I’m flipping outraged even more so by Obama’s “victory lap” where he pretends this crap-sandwich is what “The American People were begging for”. Not one bit of graciousness in his “victory” but that nose up arrogance as his Social Democrats were literally breaking out the champagne

Who's Darlene Click? Somebody who probably shouldn't give up her day job, if she still has that DA Office job? and an understanding boss.

I can't be fully certain, but this would seem to be her, lecturing the SPLC. She links in her post there, back to her blog, where she forwards readers to "follow me" to Jeff Goldstein's site, where she's a co-blogger, and published her vile cartoon statement:

I’ve worked 9 years in a DA office in Southern California. I’m very cognizant of “Hate Groups”. Many of what you have listed on your site are, indeed, groups that meet the classical definition of a “hate group” … Aryan Nations, skin heads, et al. However, you lose your credibility when you make your definition of what qualifies as a “hate group” to include people you only politically disagree with. This is easily demonstrated by no listing on your site of CAIR (which is an unindicted co-conspirator in Islamist terrorism) or the many anti-”European” Latino groups, such as Mexica Movement, La Raza, and La Voz de Aztlan.

What you also fail to mention is the alarming events in the Southern California area where HIspanic gangs with ties to the Mexican Mafia (one of the most powerful gangs operating in our state prison system and controller of much of the drug trade over the border) are targeting for execution African-Americans in parts of Los Angeles. They are, in essense, engaged in “ethnic cleansing” of neighborhoods they want to control.

Your “hate group” listings would appear driven not by any other consideration but a far-Left political agenda.

Pity.

Yes, we can all say here-- we already KNOW what these people are about. But it's time to demand the MSM stop lying and pretending they don't.

Feel free to send her quotes and artwork along to them if you're really tired, say, of the nice careful screening job they did with their teabag interviews today.

1. Of course it is not about health care

it is about the fact that the people in this country are sick and tired of the butt hole right and they can't stand it. They thought they would be in charge for ever. When they got thrown out they went berserk.

2. Gang Wars = Ethnic cleansing? Huh.

On another note, the Aztlan thing is just plain wrong, as they *are* labelled by both the SPLC and the ADL as a hate group. They aren't labelled as a "Patriot" hate group because they aren't european-american-nationalistic. They're latin-american-nationalistic, which is a different thing.
