I find Rick Perlstein’s column comforting because it reminds me that right-wingers have been crazy for pretty much ever, and that the current display of irrational hatred wrapped in delusional conspiracy is their standard response to losing an argument (i.e., power). One of the nice things about being at the Netroots Nation conference is that everyone here is functioning on the assumption that facts and logic matter and should be used to inform policy. It’s very therapeutic after sitting at home and trying to endure the idiot wind blowing through the teevee and intertubes.
