1. This is the cartoon titled "mad as hell", the title portrays the current views of the tea party.
2.The artist portrays members of the tea party along with their advocates to be loud, obnoxious, and misinformed
3.The artist shows a rather portly Rush Limbaugh character complaining about taxes and another man informing him that he is wrong. However the man in the black t-shirt responds with an extremely outlandish statement "Obama is Hitler".
4. I believe that the message is that crazy/moronic people do not require logic or facts to rant, they just need to have a firm belief in the nonsense that they speak.
5. The political significance of this is that the tea party was a grassroots party based completely on ignorance (and possibly racism) and if they were ever to get the majority seat in either houses, the results could be apocalyptic.
