Anti-intellectualism, the way of the rethugs

Being anti-fact is nothing new for the teabag and rethug set in our country.

snip:

“Chances are, if you are one of those corporate media-following bone heads who still believe that weapons of mass destruction were found in Iraq, or Saddam Hussein blew up the Twin Towers, or Obama is a secret Muslim, or Obama wants to take your guns, or Obama has FEMA prison camps set up for Teabag Republicans, then search no further,” said Papantonio, who is also president of the National Trial Lawyer Association. “You truly are the undereducated, child-like, impressionable, irrational, dangerous cog in America’s political system that puts Democracy most at risk.”

Should have had these words inscribed on the front of Shrub's libery.

Plenty of gun weirdo anti-intellectualism to be found there.
