Will the reactionary right destroy itself?

[Stephen Colbert]

With all of the provocations of those on the looney fringe of society like Beck and Bachmann, will the right reach a boiling point, become militant, denigrate their credibility, and vanish like the defeated and petty reactionary group like it is?

[The Ben G]

No.

[Nachie]

What credibility are you referring to, there?

The "right" is not a defeated and petty reactionary group, it's an entire side of the capitalist coin. It's never going to "vanish" until society undergoes a wider structural change.

[Stephen Colbert]

Sorry I mispoke. I meant will the reactionary types like the tea partiers do something so stupid or things that make themselves seem illegitimate and die out. Sorry i didnt make sense there

[Nachie]

I would say it doesn't matter, because they control the media.

Think of it this way: Lindsay Lohan/other tabloid celebrities are stupid and illegitimate and should just die out, but our overlords have decided that we should be inundated with trivial information about their lives, and so it shall be.

The Tea Party won't disappear until control of the media becomes less centralized (preferably through destruction of the media) or they find something else they want us to have repeated to us so many times that we assume it's valid in some sense.

[~Spectre]

The really insane right wingers just serve as a mechanism so that the slightly less insane right wings can pass themselves off as the intelligent choice. Think of a good cop bad cop routine.

I'm hoping the nationalists will kill each other due to their bigoted ways.
