You don't know my brother, but he's an idiot. Among other things, he believes the world will end in 2012. He believed it would end in 2000, several other times. He just knows the future is doomed.
Remind you of a tea party member fretting about what the future might hold? Mind you, some reasonable concern, with some working action is prudent. However, being hyperbolic and silly doesn't meet that standard. Instead, it makes them like bother, an idiot.
As for Bush, who had the most ignorant policy I ever heard tell of (tax cut and spend), he did much that should have gotten a lot of people upset when it comes to spending. But too many simply excused him and that does open the question to why the over reaction now.
But that don't matter much. What matters is that they are hyperbolic, they are wrong factually on a lot of things, and they hurt discourse more then they help it with over the top signs and bill boards.
