Sounds about right. The cockroaches had better clean house to keep the public from knowing their real agenda.

"If early indications are any guide, though, tea partiers might be just as displeased with the tone of most of the coming analyses as they were with the mainstream media coverage of their movement, which many contend has unfairly cast them as angry and extremist, not to mention racist, homophobic, misogynistic and paranoid."

I look forward to all of this, especially Frank's book. Thanks for posting this
In an e-mail to POLITICO, Matthews said the tea party has helped convey a sense that “the American government is somehow attacking the American people.”

Such a world view reflects a fundamental misunderstanding of federal government, he wrote, asserting “anyone who knows how things work in Washington knows that there is not some monolith ‘the government.’ ... The new right seems to argue that this is a battle between the American people and their own government, which suggests you can't reform it, you can't change leaders or representatives, that there is something wrong with the ‘government’ itself.”
I remember even during the Bush admin these folks were encouraged by the RW media to feel helpless, their hands tied -- victimized. And they did, they seemed to enjoy that feeling. I think this Tea Party business, profound hurt, fear and anger a mile wide and an inch deep, is more of that.
