21. Grover Nordquist. This is the Tea Party 2 the threatened. 2010 worked to his favor.

And there are plenty of suckers who will fall for this, from uber-liberals - only-real-progressives, to the CTers and troll who infest the net with fear and doomsday.

They play it from both sides and are gearing up to treat Obama and Democrats the same way they did from 2009, sowing division and telling people nothing they do is going to help. They have created a block here at DU who already have said they will not vote in 2014 due to whatever contrived outrage is posted here even if it is debunked repeatedly.

We can't forget who owns the media and will keep on promoting this until 2014. It worked once before and it can work again. This is going to get a lot worse.
