"Not all Tea Party members are befuddled rightwingers screeching that President Obama is a socialist, fascist, pro-terrorist, or all of the above. Many Tea Partiers have legitimate concerns about how the Democratic Party's health care reform plans will reduce Medicare and about trillion-dollar taxpayer-funded giveaways to Wall Street firms
More confused libs. Instead of telling people they are wrong, why don't they set up a booth at a rally? We have a Tea Party and if they wanted to come speak at a meeting, we would welcome them. There is no one on the left that even understands the Tea Party, which is totally grass roots and a movement, not a party.
Cynthia McKinney was the Green Party's Presidential candidate in 2008 and the first African American woman to have represented Georgia in the House. The Green Party wishes for private industry to be crushed. This is not the stance of Tea Party supporters and this article is just another dumb attempt to twist people's thinking. It won't work and you are busted. The Green Party is just another front group for the Democratic Party.
For the fun of it, let's take a look at one of Cynthia McKinney's finest moments.
McKinney gained national attention for remarks she made following the 2001 US attacks, charging that the United States had advance knowledge of the attacks and that US PresidentGeorge W. Bush may have been aware of the incipient attack and allowed them to happen,[17] allegedly due to his father's business interests: "It is known that President Bush's father, through the Carlyle Group, had–at the time of the attacks–joint business interests with the bin Laden construction company and many defense industry holdings, the stocks of which have soared since September 11." In the month that followed the attacks, when New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani refused to cash a $10 million check written by Saudi Prince Alwaleed bin Talal in light of the Prince's suggestion that the attacks were an indication that the United States "should re-examine its policies in the Middle East and adopt a more balanced stand toward the Palestinian cause," McKinney published an open letter to the Saudi Prince, in which she wrote of her disappointment at Giuliani's action and stated, "Let me say that there are a growing number of people in the United States who recognize, like you, that U.S. policy in the Middle East needs serious examination...Your Royal Highness, many of us here in the United States have long been concerned about reports by Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch that reveal a pattern of excessive, and often indiscriminate, use of lethal force by Israeli security forces in situations where Palestinian demonstrators were unarmed and posed no threat of death or serious injury to the security forces or to others."

I'd say the above link was her lowest moment. There were a few low moments. None you've listed because each one had a valid alternative view expressed. That any and all of her views proven beyond reasonable doubt... no. That the questions she posed raised the bar for consideration... yes. That's the point of healthy debates, isn't it?
Back to the green party statement-- many valid points were made and you've managed to overlook all of it because of a single representative you disagree with for personal reasons? Do you realize the case you're trying to prove?
It's hopeless, the teabaggers are the antithesis of the Green Party, teabaggers ARE the Corporate Party if they are the befuddled rightwingers, and if they are true libertarians they ARE the Feudal Party.

I call b.s. here. The Obama grassroots campaign reminded the GOP that big things happen when the electorate is involved; Republicans were used to buying elections and, in a pinch, getting the SCOTUS to install a candidate that can be easily manipulated, like Bush 43.
You'd welcome liberals? I think not.
