Oh, I dunno, read this passage from Louis' link:
The paranoid spokesman sees the fate of conspiracy in apocalyptic terms—he traffics in the birth and death of whole worlds, whole political orders, whole systems of human values. He is always manning the barricades of civilization. He constantly lives at a turning point. Like religious millenialists he expresses the anxiety of those who are living through the last days and he is sometimes disposed to set a date for the apocalypse.
And tell me that doesn't describe what we see with Glenn Beck and the Tea Partiers. Could have been written yesterday.
