Hunter on David Brooks on the Muslim Brotherhood

My goodness, I seem to be too lazy lately to write my own stuff.  But sometimes other people's stuff is just so good, it needs to be rebroadcast.

Hunter, over at Daily Kos, puts out superb, scathing diaries day after day.

In David Brooks wonders if Egypt has the 'mental ingredients' for democracy, it is not lost on Hunter that every single thing Brooks says about the Muslim Brotherhood applies exactly to America's own Tea Party.
