Breitbart — in case you haven’t read his column today yet — sums what’s going on up:

Tea Party attendees and health care town-hall protesters share the common belief that the extravagant spending of President Obama and the Democratic Party — absent any checks and balances — will eventually lead more people into government dependency, higher taxes and, perhaps, our country’s financial ruin. These are legitimate fears felt by millions of Americans.
That’s why the media and the Democratic Party are scared and are throwing outrageous and hateful accusations at everyday Americans — hoping that people stay home out of fear.
