[QUOTE="diesel96, post: 711639, member: 9859"] NW says; "The Tea Party is not monolithic. There is a battle between people who care about liberty and the Constitution and the Republican Establishment who is trying to take ownership of it and redirect it for its own purposes." Unfortunately, the Rep Establishmnet is winning ownership big time with their mega-Tea Party sponsors and CEO of the Republicans Party, Fox News...They are as far away a grassroot movement than their spokespeople say... I think Wolf is saying that the tea bag movement is legitimate in a way that it is not. They are more closely tied to national socialism than any movement at present getting press. Their use of Obama as a "fasicism" focal point, IMO, has more to do with how they are trying to detract from their own tendencies there. These folks support torture, support goverment surveillance, support fear mongering, support racism, hate the poor, don't want others to have health care, think they take care of the rest of the slackers who don't work as hard as they do -- why not? -- because they don't make as much money! Sad to see Naomi going down this naive path; "yes, we can reason with each other." No Naomi, you can't reason with these folks. It's the same old, same old. It's like trying to reason with Sarah Palin, Michele Bachman, or Sean Hannity! I guess it's whatever sells books....JMHO [/QUOTE]
