The cockroaches of the extreme right are hiding their take over of a valid public protest movement.
"The repackaging of the Tea Parties as forces of American virtue and pluralism, rather than angry right-wingers, is happening as we speak."
"While they can be disparaged as being narrow minded ideologues possessed of an authoritarian personality, conservatives in the U.S.--and the extreme right wing that has now become the center of the GOP--have long been masters of using emotional and moral appeals to motivate their public. While the Democrats are hamstrung by an issues-based approach to politics, conservatives have mastered the art of creating an alternate world of political facts and reason (enabled by the right-wing media echo chamber) where the reality based community need not tread."

I find this particularly interesting. Since it seems like the Teabagger "script" is being followed by the sympathizers right here at cd.
Quote:
the Tea Party activist is sticking to a clear script: "The Tea Parties are not racist," "racism has no place with the Tea Parties" and "the Tea Party does not concern itself with race." In one two-minute clip, the Tea Party has created a counter-narrative with compelling soundbites that runs explicitly counter to the popular understanding that the tea baggers are racist xenophobes.
Let's agree for the sake of discussion that they're racists. These racists are getting together and protesting the huge spending, deficits, etc. Now that we've identified them as racists, are they incorrect in their concern about the financial picture of this country?

They work EXTREMELY hard to try and make it look like this broad base of people, when we know damn well it's not. They're only deluding themselves, as usual, but that's it.

Well it would also been they are hypocritical racists who sat idle, while their hero Bush doubled the debt and sent the deficit to the moon while shyting all over the COTUS.

They actually started while Bush was in office, but okay, do these hypocritical racists have a point about the financial picture of this country?
Many people may not consider themselves " Tea partyers" but will vote the same as they do in November. So keep on attacking the tea partyers until you're completely surrounded by them and have nobody left on your side. The left has lost and they don't even know it.

Only amongst a few leftist extremists. Just because you say it's so doesn't make it so. There's no evidence the tea party movement is racist (and in fact, evidence to the contrary: non-White participants). The smear tactics tells a lot about how desperate the statists are getting.
Of course the OP in this stupid thread doesn't care about facts or evidence, as evidenced by their "militias" thread.
