Won't they be surprised when the SHTF?

Grab a bucket? To brew some kick-@$$ tea in?

Let me guess the by-line author after all the liberal references: Janene Garafolo?

Boy, are THEY in for a big surprise come election day 2010 and 2012!!! :-)

Amid these anti-reform messages, the racism of the "birther" tendency is barely disguised: "The Zoo Has an African Lion and the White House Has a Lyin' African" and "'Cap' Congress and 'Trade' Obama Back to Kenya."

I see no racism in these statements. It's more about nationality or lack thereof.

Someone who needs dealt with.

In sum, the tea-bagger crowds represent a break with the usual antithesis of organized people versus organized money. They serve the interests of powerful others. Medical insurers, carbon polluters, and other representatives of corporate America must be cheering, though perhaps not openly. Crowds of evangelicals had already ended what had been, for years, a left monopoly on mass protests. Remember Terri Schiavo and her controversial feeding tubes? As for the electronically-mediated demagoguery of Fox News hosts, that goes back at least as far as Father Coughlin, the Nazi-sympathizing "radio priest" of the 1930s.

That's a great summation of the lefty point of view on this.

What's interesting to me is that as i read up to this point, I replaced all the "healthcare" references with "war," and the R's with D's and vice versa. For some reason, I don't seem to recall similar lefty stooges criticizing those who "speak truth to power" for the left.

Of course i wouldn't expect them to attack those who support their politics, but my point is, they don't seem to see how hypocritical they are--why is it wrong for people such as the teapartiers to take part in their own nation's actions? Why are they to be mocked for being (shocking!) white in a majority-white nation, when they had NO problem when most anti-Vietnam (or Iraq) protesters were also white.

This is not genuine, honest discussion. They simply smear those who oppose them, in ways they would never attack white, middle-class or whatever people who supported them. Was this writer writing similar snarky lines about Cindy Sheehan?

“In sum, the tea-bagger crowds”

-

Only gay liberals say “tea-bagger”.

They know what it means, because it’s a weird homosexual thing which ... (wait for it) ... LIBERALS do.

One can only presume, the writer is gay.

This is just typical of those who are afraid that the average American is starting to assert their rights.

On April 15, thousands of angry Americans attended Tax Day "tea parties" at about 750 sites across the nation. In Lansing, Michigan, 3,000 to 4,000 people cheered Samuel Joseph Wurzelbacher, a.k.a. "Joe the Plumber."

So they reference a 3000 to 4000 crowd but fail to mention the over ONE MILLION in DC? Ironic that one of the premises of the piece is how the tea party movement is getting coverage when other protests don't. Just another liberal hypocrite...oh, sorry, guess that's redundant.

.... As one protestor's sign at the Tax Payers March warned, "We Came Unarmed (This Time)."

oh-oh Al Sandine seems scared.
I think he made poopy in his pants.

Wow! No bias here! (/s)

As for the president, one suspects that race has everything to do with tea-bagger willingness to view him as a flaming radical. Such labels can have little to do with his actual politics.

Yep! We're racists. ( yawn!)
