Update!

Hey, Music and Tea Fans! I just saw this at the Whole Foods Facebook website:

Whole Foods Market Dublin Remember: Jorma, former lead guitarist of Jefferson Airplane & Rock-n-Roll Hall of Famer will play at our store on Saturday, 11/7 at 1 p.m.


Jorma was also a member of Hot Tuna.

Whole Foods is located at 3670 W. Dublin Granville Rd, in Dublin, Ohio.

>>> Back to politics.....
This is a commentary from the Guardian about the tea party on the steps of the Capitol:

...But check out David Corn's account:

Think I'm being harsh? The angry folks at the protest -- which attracted several thousand conservatives -- held up signs with messages of hate: "Get the Red Out of the White House," "Waterboard Congress," "Ken-ya Trust Obama?" One called the president a "Traitor to the U.S. Constitution." Another sign showed pictures of dead bodies at the Dachau concentration camp and compared health care reform to the Holocaust. A different placard depicted Obama as Sambo. Yes, Sambo. Another read, "Obama takes his orders from the Rothchilds" -- a reference to the anti-Semitic conspiracy theory holding that one evil Jewish family has manipulated events around the globe for decades.....

and this------

....And at one point during the rally -- call it a Bachmannalia -- when John Ratzenberger, a.k.a Cliff Clavin from "Cheers," claimed that the Democrats were turning the United States into a land of European socialism, the audience shouted, "Nazis, Nazis." No Republican legislator left the stage in protest. Boehner and his fellow GOP leaders should be asked how they feel about mounting a rally that attracted intense hate-mongering....

As the post notes, this demonstration was sponsored by House Republicans.

Of course, we expect this type of insanity from Republican Rep. Michele Bachmann. However, now we've seen proof that the rest of the Republicans have gone over the edge to embrace the extremists of the teabaggers. Apparently, there is no room for moderate Republicans. The GOP has taken a hard turn to the right.
