Never before has a term been so appropriate as "useful idiots"
The town hall disruptors. The shouters. The in-the-congresscritter's-face questioners. The gun toters. The sign holders. The clenched fist thrusters. The Meducare recipiets against government run health care. The birthers and the deathers. The tea baggers.

Useful idiots, all. There at the Beck (pun intended) and Call of the rich and powerful corporatists and power holders.

Useful idiots.
