Poll question: Have the wingnuts shot their wad with half a year worth of teabaggery and faux rage?

Are they losing momentum after a half year's tantrum? Or is this just the beginning?

6. It's not someone else's wad that wll be shot

I'm predicting another Oklahoma City. I pray I'm wrong, but I won't even blink in surprise if it happens, that's how worried i've become about the political discourse in this country.

7. I am thinking you are right - The danger is not so much from the 'baggers

as from the new militia types, the people the 'baggers like to think they are. The very crazys - the KKK, and very far right armed groups - may start to get more active as the 'baggers stay home in the cold weather.

5. with all the money Beck & Limbaugh make, expect it to get much worse.

Every Malkin and Hannity wannabe will be climbing out from under their rock to get onto this gravy train.
Look at the top selling books (Beck, Palin, Malkin) and the Fox ratings. And they'll keep raising the bar on how batshit crazy they can be to grab the spotlight.

9. Those "top selling books"...

...are mostly bulk purchases. The right does that to drive up rankings on the best-seller lists. They hand them out as "rewards" to their donons. This time next year, there will be mountains of those books on the $1.99 table. Or, in piles at the recyclers, waiting to be shredded.

8. No. A simple look at polls and you can see that the wingnuts increased strength of

their position.
