He is spot on in that there is a significant change going on, but I just don't see it as the teabaggers have taken over. The teabaggers are still nothing more than loosely organized grabastic pieces of shit. The will remain as such until some cult of personality rises up to lead them. Just because you can get a lot of them to show up on the same day at the same place, doesn't mean they are organized. They still lack a central voice to speak for them. Certainly you have the Boss Limbaugh and the Glenn Beck types, but they are more like cheerleaders on the fringes who are simply profiteering from their weak minded audience. They will never negotiate on their behalf with the powers that be. So yes they have filled the void created by the implosion of the social conservatives and neocons, but until they anoint someone like a Pat Robertson or an Irving Kristol type person to negotiate on their behalf, they aren't going to take over anything and eventually they will fizzle out just like the other wingnut grabastic piece of shit movements like the minutemen, the militias, and so many others. In the mean time the GOPhers are more than happy to employ them as their current crop of useful idiots.
