I wish they'd make up their minds: Are conservatives (especially Gov. Palin) morons or evil Übermensch with a decades-long agenda?

Ain’t anyone bankrolled me yet! I had to buy a new used shirt at Goodwill so I’d look better at the last rally!

It's a shame Tea Party folks aren't in the same boat as the left is where 90% of their money traces back to Soros. Everything coming from a single multibillionare Nazi makes it so much easier if you want to do investigative reporting and "follow the money". I guess that disproves the theory that leftists always take the path of least resistance, huh?

Regards

Frank would like us to believe the New York Times is one of those self-published anti-capitalist rags that has no money behind it and makes no money—oh, wait, it is!

A political movement with money supporting it? That all you got, Frank?

"Their self-interested and at times radical agendas, like Murdoch’s, go well beyond, and sometimes counter to, the interests of those who serve as spear carriers in the political pageants hawked on Fox News. "

Frank: nobody outside of the NYT breakroom takes you seriously. At all.

Your commie-lib agenda is dying on the vine. Deal.

Hey New York Times,

You don't get it and you never will! The writer just couldn't bring himself to recognize what a class event Beck put on and congratulate him on raising millions of dollars for kids of servicemen. He cannot comprehend that anyone would use their own money to stand for a cause they believe in. He's convinced there must be bigger, hidden motivations.

Sad, just really sad!

"When David Koch ran to the right of Reagan as vice president on the 1980 Libertarian ticket (it polled 1 percent), his campaign called for the abolition not just of Social Security, federal regulatory agencies and welfare but also of the F.B.I., the C.I.A., and public schools — in other words, any government enterprise that would either inhibit his business profits or increase his taxes. He hasn’t changed. As Mayer details, Koch-supported lobbyists, foundations and political operatives are at the center of climate-science denial"

Well, thank goodness there are some rich people on the Tea Party side! I have been wondering where they were! It seems like all the rich people are backing the socialists.

Rich puts such a sneer into his tone (describing the Koch's businesses, he says they also "spew various industrial products" such as Dixie cups. Oh, goodness, bad things. Industrial products! Dixie cups! How disgusting! I have been saying for 15 or more years that the government schools should be phased out. But for starters at least close the federal Dept of Education. I don't know about the FBI and CIA, haven't looked into that, but the rest of his platform sounds great! And that was way back in 1980! I am concerned about the Saudi part-ownership of Fox, which he mentions. Couldn't be a good thing.

At the last TEA Party I went to, several of us were asking each other if the pay master was around and were did we get our checks? (GRIN)

Rich is really a moron. I don’t remember him ever doing a smear job like this on who was bankrolling his commie ‘RATS prior to them taking total control of the IRS, the government and the country. In other words, all of EVERYBODY ELSE’S MONEY!

Ordinarilly I don't click a link to read an article if I determine the title is pure crap.

But I was offended by the implications and decided to do just that.

Nowhere in the article is the tea party bankrolled by anyone, nor also Beck and Palin.

After reading the article, I think the author is correct in his facts about who's doing what and when, and it boils down to an article written to the left.

As if to say, "See here ... he spells his name B E C K !! .. Can you believe it? ... BECK !!!"

And I shake my head and click tut tut, considering there really are people in this nation that do not apparently like nor desire personal liberty and freedom nor see the danger(s) with Soros, liberal/leftism and obama

Hey Frank, your oversight of SPLC fundraising.bogieman Richard Mellon Scaife is appalling. Marching orders are marching orders, you know. So, hop to it, ye minion.

Frank Rich needs to be one of the first traitorous bastard “journalists” we expel from the Country when we finally get to that revolution. It’s asshats like him who have been providing cover to professional politicians for far too long, and I think we all would be much better off if Frank went someplace else.

Oh good grief...can’t the Socialists at the NYT think of anything new? This is a re-run of their old Richard Mellon Scaife as the rich right-wing boogie-man that they ran in the last decade. Funny that they never run such an expose about Soros and the Left, though.

I searched the article to see if they were intellectually honest enough to mention the biggest money in politics: George Soros. Indeed they did mention him . . .

Many of them tried to change the subject to George Soros, the billionaire backer of liberal causes. But Soros is a publicity hound who is transparent about where he shovels his money. And like many liberals — selflessly or foolishly, depending on your point of view — he supports causes that are unrelated to his business interests and that, if anything, raise his taxes.

They actually said he is transparent! That's their excuse to the readers as to why they don't investigate his spending and report on it. Then the last sentence is the kicker. Soros owned and interested corporations have received billions in bailout money and guarantees . . . but to the NYT he's working against his financial interests. Idiot or liar wrote this . . . probably both.

Soros, IndyMac, and One West:

with a combined wealth exceeded only by that of Bill Gates and Warren Buffett among Americans.

The actual Bill Gates and the actual Warren Buffett fund left-wing political causes all the time. Yet, somehow, the NYT does not find this menacing. Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway actually owns The Washington Post Company, which in turn owns Newsweek, Slate, El Tiempo Latin, Cable One, and several large newspapers.

those corporate players who have financed the far right ever since the du Pont brothers spawned the American Liberty League in 1934 to bring down F.D.R.

FDR was re-elected in 1936, re-elected in 1940, re-elected in 1944, and then he died. His successor won election in 1948. So there doesn't seem to be much correlation between right-wing billionaires and left-wing electoral success.

And all this time, I have been opposing the Obama Socialist take-over of America on an un-paid volunteer basis. Who knew there was big money in this?!?

Do these people like Frank Rich read their own garbage? They are so far removed from reality like some spoiled brat child who does not get their way.

I'm starting to feel sorry for the willfully ignorant BSM they have not got a clue what is about to happen to them...Although well deserved!

Where to I submit my expense reports for reimbursement of travel and hand painted signage? I've been to several of these rallies, town hall meetings, and demonstrations beginning in late February, 2009 at City Hall Park in New York — a couple of weeks after Rick Santelli’s historic “rant”.

On the other hand, I have been getting daily solicitations from numerous — some questionable — on-line organizations asking that I send them money. Maybe that's what the New York Times is talking about.

Frank doesn’t get the fact that the Tea Party members actually work for a living themselves so, unlike the lib protestors who live off our tax dollars or are funded by a leftist group, the Tea Party members travel on their own dime. Of course, Frank never lets the facts get in the way of a good smear job.
