He probably meant the far right- Then he should have made it much clearer. He started out saying he was writing a "column about Republicans.." And then he scattershot. As you know, I value a sense of humor greatly--but that didn't seem particularly humorous at all. It rambled, lacked cohesion, and struck me as the same kind of "Soros is behind Obama!" attack we hear from the right. I started a post to Michael earlier but my computer crashed, explaining that the right had allowed the teaparties' message to be highjacked, twisted, and stretched into way too many areas to be effective. (At least the anti-war crowd had a narrow focus.) But there are still some people and some groups attending these parties because they want to express their thoughtful dissatisfaction with out of control spending- by either party- and their frustration with pork. There will be Dems at these rallies, just as there were Rep at the anti_War rallies. I sympathize with this since I had that same feeling about Iraq, and I disliked seeing some of the fringe nutcases distorting that message, too. Krugman just threw everything into the blender and turned it on.
