Those of you in Tennessee already knew that. But today when she speaks at the 9-12 March on Washington she will clue in the rest of the world.

“Revolution.” “Succession.” “A New Civil War.” It’s all part of a days work (cha-ching!) for the sponsors of the march. And, apparently, for Blackburn.

Frankly, I’m not surprised. Congressman Blackburn was more than willing to appear on the local mouthpiece of the most extreme wing of her party, Michael DelGiorno, who every day demonstrates how irresponsible he is as a broadcaster by insinuating that the President is a very scary man who is working towards a dictatorship, trying to indoctrinate your children, and using the tactics of imperial Japan and Nazi Germany to overthrow the government. Oh, and Harry Reid is coming to kill you and Barack Obama is the antichrist.

Frankly, Congressman Blackburn is exactly where I would expect her to be today – cozying up to the most extreme members of her party who are so afraid of Barack Obama’s “otherness” that they bring guns to his public events and scream “You lie” to his face in very inappropriate settings.
