No, They're Not Winning...
From 2Millionth Web Log


What they're doing in getting on tv for extended lengths of time, which fuels not only the wingnut zanies, but the entire chattering class, etc., etc., ad nauseum. They're actually little more than economic stimulus for a news media negatively affected by the August doldrums. A studio audience.

And anyone who's ever been to a tv show taping knows the size of a studio audience: small.

So, while yeah, these nuts can do some serious damage, and yeah, it's just my .00000000002 cents worth, I don't think anyone should be seriously intimidated by the wingers...wary, hell yes: at least some are openly carrying weapons, and I'd guess more are concealing. But not intimidated.

I'll post a little more roughly on that line of thought here and at First Draft tomorrow.
