So... how about that Tea Party?

The 'tea party' movement (as it stands now) is nothing more than people who got upset because obama was elected. The frustration over that led to the whole tax day protesting thing (when taxes hadn't been raised). It gained momentum when the people at Fox saw that they could capitalize on it.

People, like sarah palin and glen beck, tend to feed into the whole tea party thing (while getting some pretty generous checks for showing up and speaking).

The movement- as it is now- will never make it to the national level. Sure it can upset some local state elections, but these days, which member of congress is really liked all that much to begin with? The tea party has to move past the all white, racist, hyperbole of palin moniker they have right now.

The whole calling the Tea-Party racist thing is one of the things really making sure they are going to stick around.

There really isn't anything to substantiate them being racist.

In fact... people who have brought racist signs were largely found out to be from websites telling people to go and make them look racist.

That line of attack is really backfiring because most people see through it.

Remember, theser are the LEADERS of the tea party. But remember, some random guy on a video game website says the racists signs are fake. Right...what bullshit.
