I think it's safe to say their attempt to start some "grassroots" revolution is a flat out failure. <br /><br />The right wingnuts have become the laughing stock. I can't remember the name of what we call a scoff that's also a smothered laugh, but that's the noise so many Americans are making when they see these images, or hear about the latest remarks by Cheney, Rove, or any of the propagandists at Fox. <br /><br />I'm not that big a fan of Obermann, but I think his presentations of worst persons, etc...have actually helped in shaping the way the rest of the media reports some of the christianist/neocon/racist antics. <br /><br />It seems to me too, that since the GOP isn't controlling whitehouse talking points these days, any attempts to fake rightwing groundswells isn't gonna as much media support.catnappinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00456347809320165134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6182690994498367646.post-83915954257031649242009-04-28T08:14:00.000-06:002009-04-28T08:14:00.000-06:00i didn't pay much attention, given how the willful...i didn't pay much attention, given how the willful misunderstanding of history annoyed the hell out of me. there is a vast difference between not having representation and having your prefered canidate lose. the only people who would have had a claim to a "tea party" would be residents of DC.twifhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08144856464856964312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6182690994498367646.post-40231183134976956792009-04-22T22:31:00.000-06:002009-04-22T22:31:00.000-06:00More political bigotry in action.

I suspect we'll see more and more of this sort of thing as the electorate becomes increasingly polarized.Aaronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03128359303310478673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6182690994498367646.post-70930634798756520082009-04-20T11:52:00.000-06:002009-04-20T11:52:00.000-06:00Really.

Racist crap gets a whole new breath of life from the tea parties.<br /><br />Most of the posters and flyers I saw had pictures of the President as a monkey, and other references to black people taking over the country.<br /><br />I can only hope that they get smaller and smaller.Cindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05147416487171740144noreply@blogger.com
