OH YEAH, THE WINGNUT MASSES ARE GONNA RISE UP AGAINST WALL STREET (Not) (updated)

Graphic at Rush Limbaugh's site today:



Two points I probably don't need to make: (1) Limbaugh thinks this is what Obama is actually doing. (2) Limbaugh thinks doing this is a bad thing -- and assumes his audience feels the same.

His audience actually does feel the same. His audience weeps for the banks. This is essentially the same group of people we call the the tea party movement -- people some folks assume will rise up and attack the powerful any day now. Well, not those powerful. They don't think Wall Street has any power. And they feel sorry for Wall Street for that reason.

****

UPDATE: Meanwhile, there's a Free Republic thread about San Diego's tea party rally that identifies one obvious lefty provocateur...



... but actually treats this guy as a genuine teabagger:



I assume he's another would-be provocateur. But if so, this is provocateur fail. The Freepers think he's one of them.
