A Visual Representation

A few weeks ago I posted on a NYT article about the Tea Partiers and how much trouble they seem to have connecting their anger to facts.

Well, somehow I missed a great quote by Steve Benen at Washington Monthly at that time. I think it sums the situation up pretty well.

If you were to make a Venn Diagram of the issues Tea Party members care about, and the issues Tea Party members are confused about, you'd only see one circle.

Thanks to My Brain is Made of Things Made of Gold for bringing the quote to my attention.
