It's the same tyranny that Angle or Bachmann advocated. It's the same tyranny that Beck attempts to incite when he creates The Big Lie that he continually harps on (the Progressives are taking over your country, I won't be the one to fall, I will resist!). It's the same tyranny that Palin advocates.
I was having a discussion with a friend on facebook when another guy came into the thread. He went on about how the "slime progressives" are nothing more than communists and any government bigger than a few thousand federal workers was "progressive". He said that any monopoly was government created (even natural monopolies) and "progressive". All "progressives" were akin to Mao, Hitler, or Stalin, and needed to be eliminated from the government. He won't discuss with them, they are merely the enemy. There is no compromising with these people, they deserve no voice in government. He is a huge supporter of Beck, Palin, and Bachmann (he's from MN).
What's actually a bit frightening is that you see some of the same attitudes on here. Anybody left of me is left and "slime". Unfortunately, these types of teabaggers are on the 10% of population statistic, so 90% of everybody else is a "progressive". This attitude isn't one of somebody mentally ill, but of somebody who has been indoctrinated to believe that anybody who isn't 100% aligned with their beliefs are the enemy.
That's sure as hell tyranny, but do you really think Beck, Palin, Bachmann, Angle, O'Donnel really care?
