Michelle’s Mob
Michelle Bachmann is gathering a mob today to try to intimidate members of Congress in hopes of derailing the health care reform bill. Is it a coincidence that she scheduled this protest on Guy Fawkes Day? Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) appeared on the Glenn Beck radio show today to promote her big protest event tomorrow […]
Armey Is Building An Army
Let’s face it, NY-23 was the tea partier’s battle field. It was where they drew the line in the sand. And… there were lessons to be learned. Mainly that a 100 year old Republican seat switched to a Democrat seat. To me this says that people comfortable with always pulling the R lever suddenly changed […]
Teabaggers on Parade
The other night Anderson Cooper had Mark Williams on his show. Mr. Williams is one of the leaders of the tea party protests. Unfortunately for Williams, Cooper had done some homework before the interview.
Cooper: What you’re saying makes sense to me here when I’m hearing what you say but then I read on your blog, you say, you call the President an Indonesian Muslim turned welfare thug and a racist in chief.
Williams: Yeah, that’s the way he’s behaving.
ABC News To Teabaggers: YOU LIE!
There’s lots of numbers floating around about the attendance for yesterday’s Million Thousand Moron March. One that has been widely reported on conservative blogs is 2 million (ironically or perhaps not the estimated number that attended Obama’s inauguration). Michelle Malkin’s site, linked to by many other conservative sites, used ABC News as the source for […]
Rachel Maddow Takes A Look At The Money Behind The Townhall Rabble Rousers
Rachel breaks down the money and the power behind the townhall rabble rousers. It’s a who’s who of the VRWC, including Bush administration employees, leaders in the Republican party, the Swift Boat Liars and rightwing moneybags.
Has Violence Already Started?
As has been documented before, the Republican party and astroturf lobbying groups have been encouraging people to disrupt townhall meetings of Democratic members of Congress. These tea party activists are part of the paranoid, far right wing base of the party and have been using some questionable tactics. Tactics like shouting down all questions, loudly […]
At What Point Does The Exception Become The Rule?
Having been away this weekend I missed this gem of a message left on Kel Munger’s voice mail. I believe it speaks for itself and accurately sums up the mindset behind the Tea Parties. How many more signs, interviews, and comments similar to the one below have to take place before everyone stops pretending that […]
Thursday’s Open Thread
Tea Parties, John Carney running for Congress, and Charlie Copeland launches another website, oh my! BTW, if you haven’t checked out DV’s video montage of Wilmington’s tea parties you’ve missed some great reporting. (I’ve linked to one, but there’s plenty more!) ‘Bulo gives us another great Republican breakdown, while DelawareDem issues a Thank You and […]
