Nixon was very much like the Tea Party. His brain was a mélange of vicious bigotries and hateful ideas against anyone he perceived as different from him. He was a master of dark paranoia and user of circular logic to justify any action he saw fit who tended to authoritarianism disguised as “law and order,” and would stop at no lie or deceit to win the day, regardless of its long term effects. He also was prone to cronyism, barely honest at best, and good pals with some very unsavory people whose politics and noses bent sharply to the right. If this was grammar school, we could put that list of characteristics on the left and a list of the Tea Party elite that includes Rove, Armey, Cheney, Palin, Bachmann, Cantor and Beck, etc on the right and draw lines between the two.

As if the obvious problems with Rick Perry were not enough.
