Something New on the Mall
Tomasky, Michael
New York Review of Books, October 22, 2009, v56, #16, online edition
"In the modern history of the United States, there has never been a right-wing protest movement—until this summer's apoplectic and bordering-on-violent town-hall meetings, and the large "9/12" rally on Washington's National Mall that drew tens of thousands of people to protest America's descent into "socialism" (or "communism," or, occasionally, "Nazism"). How extreme is this movement, and how seriously should we take it?"
Michael Tomasky is editor of Democracy: A Journal of Ideas and American editor-at-large for The Guardian.
