Huffington is the author of 12 books, including 2008′s Right is Wrong: How the Lunatic Fringe Hijacked America, Shredded the Constitution, and Made Us All Less Safe, and hosts a public radio program.
A large crowd turned out on Monday, June 23rd to toast Arianna's latest book Right Is Wrong: How the Lunatic Fringe Hijacked America, Shredded the Constitution, and Made Us All Less Safe.
For the Tea Party, for the Republican establishment, and for the militant fringe, the orienting document has been the Constitution.
Constitutional Commissions, 1987 Constitution.
Its constitution was written 40 years ago, when the fringe was much smaller.
Tea Party parents took exploitation of their kids to a new level with the heartfelt ballad "Crying For America," a horrendous song that takes the fringe group's fetishization of the Founding Fathers and the Constitution to near self-parody levels.
It took a decade before they set up a collective box office and another one before they hired a full-time administrator.In its original constitution, a radical document for its time, the Fringe announced that it "did not come together so that groups could be vetted, or invited".

The brainchild of Ronald Branson, an antigovernment activist from California operating at the political fringe, this reckless exercise seeks to keep judges in line by amending the state Constitution to eliminate judicial immunity from lawsuits by disgruntled plaintiffs and others.
Now I'm not in the business of completely fabricating conspiracy theories to see if fringe groups will take the bait, but I will insinuate a cause for concern: The Constitution is written in cursive, and some could call this a move by the liberal education establishment to make America's founding document unreadable to the next generation through, ironically, a national curricular standard.
