In one important sense, the "tea party" movement is similar to the Obama campaign for "change": it stays sufficiently vague and unspecific to enable everyone to read into what they want, so that people with fundamentally irreconcilable views believe they're part of the same movement." Best quote from that linked article:

Just politely nod, smile and walk past him as you would to the crazy dude standing on the street corner yelling about the great Martian-KGB conspiracy. IMHO Glenn Greenwald nailed Beck: http://www.salon.com/opinion/greenwald/2009/09/22/beck/ "...Beck himself doesn't really appear to have any actual, identifiable political beliefs; he just mutates into whatever is likely to draw the most attention for himself and whatever satisfies his emotional cravings of the moment." Yup, that's about right. Beck's an emotionally needy, intellectually stunted clown.

This is even worse logic than normal for Glenn though -- anarchists supporting "total government"? Does he have a shred of anything to back that absurdity up?

One is a tall, savage, knife-wielding carnivore who repeatedly threatens to start killing, and the other is a calm, intellectual, well-read pacifist.
