I Recommend This Post ... er, That Post

    Take a look at this post, perhaps the best explanation yet of the anger that Rep. Joe Dumbass displayed last night. Whoever the longtime TPM reader is, he has it exactly right. Here's part of it below. Don't miss reading the whole thing. I can't recommend it enough.

    We saw this dynamic recur again and again throughout the month of August, as anger boiled over at town hall meetings. Right wing activists insisted that they knew, to a moral certainty, what the plan was actually about, and demanded that their representatives acknowledge the truth. Such arguments are immune from rebuttal; at their very heart lies the esoteric contention that the real agenda is only implicit, hidden within the bill's provisions, and that seemingly benign clauses actually contain loopholes that will be nefariously exploited following its passage.
