Was a nice talk about FReepers.

Rush failed to recall how the current ‘tea party’ movement got started. It was because of a rant on CNBC by Rick Santelli. It was not regarding Obamacare, but government bailouts.

Bump that. Rush did a fair summary. I keep this quote on my profile:
We were the tea party before there was a tea party. - Jim Robinson
I agree, while listening to Rush and being glad he was mentioning FReepers I was saying, actually it was Santelli who was fired up and I have always credited him to the rise of the Tea Party. Good to see you Tom.
