It's the end of the world as we know it

This excerpt from About That DHS Report on Right-Wing Extremism signals the end of the world:

Some bloggers, prompted by World Net Daily, are reading this as an attempt to “smear half of the country or more as kooks for criticizing the government’s handling of the economy.”

That’s ludicrous. First, this DHS assessment was begun more than a year ago, before Barack Obama was even nominated. It has absolutely nothing to do with “tea parties,” and it was not done at the behest of the Obama administration.

It's part of a pattern of posts that I've seen popped up on memeorandum that have left not scandalized but bewildered and utterly confused. I don't know what to make of titles like Horowitz Unloads on Obama Derangement Syndrome, Bush Bowed Too, Romney: Don't Wish for Obama to Fail, To Everything There is a Season and a two-parter about Glenn Beck: About Glenn Beck's Extremist Rhetoric and About Glenn Beck's Extremist Rhetoric, Part 2.

Why am I so confused? The source is Little Green Footballs.

QUOTES

If those in power can merely condescendingly look at hundreds of thousands of marching people and say, as the President and so many do, "Isn't it great that people in a free country get to express themselves," then that protest is a failure.
