Frankenstein's Monster is loose, and it ate Mitt Romney in SC.

9. At the risk of igniting a flame war, I really wish we could

stop comparing the Tea Party to Frankenstein's monster. The former is disgusting and vile, the latter a noble creature forced to suffer because of man's hubris and arrogance.

I'm not even sure it's appropriate to compare the Repukes to Dr. Frankenstein since he, for all his shortcomings, believed in science whereas the vast majority of Repukes would be hard-pressed even to define the scientific method.

I just hate to see Mary Shelley's glorious creation besmirched by any comparison to the racist, misogynist and racist Tea Party folk.

If you're searching for a literary analogue, perhaps Mark Twain's "Huckleberry Finn" (and specifically the lynch-mob scene with Sherburn) is most appropriate. Twain would have had nothing but absolute scorn for these Tea Party charlatans.
