Moyers: Tea Party like the Slave owners of the South, ready to "sink the ship of state."

A word on the authoritarian tea party:

Bill Moyers: "When the president refused to buckle to their extortion, they threw their tantrum, like the diehards of the racist South a century and a half ago, who would destroy the union before giving up their slaves, so would these people burn the place down, sink the ship of state, and sew economic chaos to get their way."
