Will McAvoy pwns the Tea Party

I know we've talked about the TP before, but it's scary and shameful on all of us that we allowed a group of such hateful, delusional people to participate in gov't and even push it around (maybe now we know why corrupt Karzai isn't thrilled about a power-sharing peace deal with the Taliban?). I wish Anonymous or some other tech-savvy group would hack the GOP convention and play this during a big speech. You can start watching at 2:25 if you're pressed for time.

Again, shame on the MSM that I actually learned a lot of new things from the Daily Show and HBO's Newsroom during this campaign season. I know Sorkin can be over-the-top (and did he accidentally compare an old black lady to a stray animal, or accuse the TP of doing so?), but I think Newsroom is refreshing and you actually care about the characters' struggles (and admire them for it). Too bad it won't shame any of the current big anchors into being actual journalists.
