An accurate portrayal of the co-opting of the 'tea party' by the GOP ?

It'ss the same ol' shit-message from the republicans.

NEWS FLASH

Your patriotism is not greater than mine. Jingoism and 'tax cuts' does not define patriotism. The ignorance of the TBs is a shit-stain on America.
IMO...extrapolating from a few to justify sweeping stereotypes and marginalization of entire groups of people is the epitome of ignorance and the true "shit-stain on America".

"We have met the enemy and he is us." - Pogo

The current premise of the Tea Baggers is a Lie. Save your hollow platitudes for your populist sheep.

FACT: Federal tax receipts are at their lowest percentage of GDP since 1951. Kinda strikes at the heart of the anti-tax rallies, doesn't it?

And feel free to start at the beginning. The Libertarian Party of Illinois initiated the concept of anti-tax rallies. Freedomworks and the 9/12 Project subsequently co-opted the concept as a partisan political tool. Sorry you cannot see that.

Feel free to represent this AstroTurf campaign as the 'will of the people'. It does not help your cause when you represent 'thousands' as 'millions' and do not acknowledge your co-opted existence and use as partisan political tools (and fools).

I personally could care less about the Tea Party movement. You just don't get it...do you?

In regard to the subject of 'partisan political tools'....I have nothing to say except that it's quite obvious that your expertise in this area far exceeds mine.

This has to be a parody post.

The American Revolutionaries were Patriots, the Tea Baggers are uninformed morons, many with racist motives.

keep telling it to yourself and one day it make become true; buy a couple lottery tickets while you're at it.
Psst, Earth to Loopy, many doesn't mean most.

Earth to Short bus rider, as used on this forum a few equates to all, and prior to your many accusation you proceeded it with a unilateral declaration.

So.

You got nuthin'? I'm seeing your modi operandi all over this post.

You purport to care not about the Tea Baggers but you post in this thread, and call out the OP offering no germane rebuttal or substance?

You bloviate about partisan hackery while on the personal attack. Got yah.

You offer hollow dinky platitudes and little if anything of significance. No problem.

You and yer buds whine of intellectual depravity and partisan extremes in what only functions as a derailment of the matter at hand. We know what that is .... it is called deflection.

When you are called on your BS you prattle in self-anointed blissful ignorance with: "Who me? I don't care. You are one." Riiiight.

So let's meet a Head TB'er : Deborah Johns.

"The men and women in our military didn't fight and die for this country for a communist in the White House," she says, and the crowd erupts in a chant of "U-S-A, U-S-A!"

No jingoism, there, huh? Topped with a tasty bit of McCarthyism.

What else grows from Deborah and the "Our Country Deserves Better" PAC tree of liberty ? That would be the anti-Obama advertising campaign featuring a video claiming that Obama is using tactics common to Hitler?s Germany.

So. Who are Deborah Jones, Mark Williams and the "Our Country Deserves Better" PAC?

If the Our Country Deserves Better PAC, its personalities or its tactics seem familiar, there's good reason. The PAC's chief strategist is Sal Russo of the Sacramento-based Republican PR firm Russo Marsh & Rogers. The PAC's chair is Howard Kaloogian, a former California state legislator who worked with Russo to found the non-profit group Move America Forward (MAF) in 2004. The PAC's coordinator is Joe Wierzbicki, a principal in the Russo Marsh firm who also serves as MAF's grassroots coordinator. In addition to being the PAC's spokesperson, Deborah Johns is MAF's director of military relations.

Grass roots, my ass.


What else yah got, Con Boy?

Let's just say that I see things a little differently than you and leave it at that.
