Their intent is to marginalize conservatives. This is all part of their plan...and yes, it is just like germany pre WWII.
Absolutely, and it facilitates such comments as "wacko birds" and "extremists within our party" that you hear from RINOs such as McCain, Graham and King. These RINOs feel it's easier and accepted for them to go public and attack a group that's considered racist and all the other false adjectives the media uses to describe the movement.
We all know that even without the negative false descriptions of the TP movement, John McCain and the GOPe would still be against the Tea Party, but they would not find it as easy to come out and publically attack like they have been doing if the American people knew that "Tea Party" is nothing more a movement by Republicans, democrats, independents of every race that support fiscal responsibility and constitutionally limited government.
You think McCain would attack so publically if he knew that most Americans knew there were also democrats in the movement?
I highly doubt that the RINOs will come out and publically attack a movement that stands for fiscal responsibility and constitutionally limited government. They will still work behind the scenes to destroy it, but they won't be able to go public with their attacks.
Personally, I could care less if McCain attacks the Tea Party or not, but it just gives him opportunities to go on TV every sunday and I'm sick of seeing his face. So, let's take that opportunity away from him by debunking the false KKK claims. The worst that will happen is the movement will grow and perhaps run against the RINO when he's up for re-election.
