New Peasant Backlash: Reversing the Revolution of 1776

Rolling Stone columnist Matt Taibbi is sounding a bit like H.L Mencken, describing the moronic followers of Fox News who made up the majority of the tea parties as peasants. This has been true for a long time, but it's during a crisis when these types of realities expose themselves. After all these years of state intervention in the economic sector on behalf of the rich the conservative lower class finally hit the streets but who do they follow? Lying cheerleaders like Glenn Beck and Gov. Rick Perry and not someone like Alex Jones or Ron Paul who have been speaking the truth for years. But that's always been the American tradition, dismissing the truth tellers while putting lying scumbags on top of the stage.
