OWS has meant just as much - if not more- than the teabagger movement to politics...

21. Um, in the Weimar Republic a poltiical party needed to only secure about

5% of the popular vote in national elections to secure at least some representation in its national assembly (the Reichstag). In the U.S., a candidate must win a plurality of the vote in any legislative race to be seated in the House or Senate. So if the teabaggers receive 5% of the vote nationally but none of its candidates receive pluralities in the specific legislative elections, no teabagger will be seated in the House or Senate.

Since most public opinion polls show that teabagger support has peaked and started to decline, I fail to see how the teabaggers are 'Weimar dangerous' (to quote the post to which I was responding with its typo silently corrected). Yes, teabaggers may win individual house and senate seats, but they lack the strength to seize the reins of government the way the Nazi Party did in 1933.

N.B. I'm assuming this is what Salinen meant when he wrote 'Weirmar dangerous' (sic).
