MSNBC host Martin Bashir interviewed Stanton Peele, a psychologist and an "expert on addiction," this afternoon. Bashir urged Peele to psychologically evaluate supporters of the Tea Party. "It reminds us of addiction because addicts are seeking something that they can't have," Peele said. "They want a state of happiness or nirvana that can't be achieved except through an artificial substance and reminds us of the Norway situation, when people are thwarted at obtaining something they can't, have they often strike out and Norway is one kind of example to one kind of reaction to that kind of a frustration."
Bashir later asked: "So you're saying that they are delusional about the past and adamant about the future?"
"They are adamant about achieving something that's unachievable, which reminds us of a couple of things. It reminds us of delusion and psychosis," Peele responded.
The Teabaggers have been very successful in crashing the US Stock Market with their tactics, making sure everyone with an IRA or a 401k is a bit poorer today.
Thanks for nothing, baggers. I hope you like eating dog food.
You fricking leftards are so predictable, and predictably stupid. The markets are crashing precisely because the tea party (I guess you faggots get some visceral joy about using fag terminology to describe them) did NOT get what they wanted -- substantially reduced spending and debt:
It's easier to find a baby pigeon than it is to find a trader who likes the Debt Ceiling agreement. The much derided deal effectively raises the amount the government is allowed to spend today in exchange for mythical cuts 10 years from now.
