The Washington Post today has a profile of Mike Vanderboegh, the 57-year-old former militiaman from Alabama who last week posted a call for people to throw bricks through the windows at Democratic offices around the country to protest their votes for Health Care Reform. Whether the people who actually did this over the last week did so in reaction to his call to arms is not clear. But he's happy to take credit and others are crediting him too.

But Vanderboegh really is a classic exemplar of scream-at-your-TV tea-partyish extremism. A radical libertarian, champion of getting big government off the people's backs, his day job? Vanderboegh lives on government disability checks down outside of Birmingham, Alabama.

Epic Fail.

Don't tell jpotts.

He'll make him an acquaintance...

He sounds like a great guy, but I'm still moving to Texas.

Oh, leave the Tea Partiers alone.

If it weren’t for uninformed blind rage, they would have no life at all.

Does he smoke cigars?

LOL

Oh, leave the liberals alone.

If it weren’t for uninformed blind rage, they would have no life at all.

Now that's more like it.

I'm still laughing at this one.

Let's see, Mike Vanderboegh, its such a Southern sounding name. I wonder where he came from?

South Africa?
