Were I J. Jonah Jameson, I might have titled this post “The Teabagger Menace”. Despite the fact that they claim to be, and are claimed to be, average Americans, these people are proving to be batshit crazy.

A wingnut named Kenneth Gladney recently made headlines when he was “injured” (watch the video to judge for yourself) [...]

At a recent town hall meeting, a man stood up and told Representative Bob Inglis to “keep your government hands off my Medicare.” [...]
An article at the Guardian, Birthers embarrass the Republicans, starts off discussing the now infamous incident at a town hall meeting hosted by Republican Congressman Mike Castle of Delaware, in which a lunatic lady waves her birth certificate around in a plastic bag while ranting that Obama is not a citizen. The author, Thomas Noyes, [...]
