2. Occupy Wall Street is real. |
|
That's why they are so creative. Can anyone name a single creative idea the Tea Party has put out there? I can't. There is nothing growing under the astroturf.

even when a politician is speaking. Anyone else getting the feeling government officials are backing the Tea Party while opposing a real populist uprising. Why yes, they are.

11. Actually, the Tea Party voted for more of the same. |
|
More corporate greed, more money for the top 1%, more gutting of social programs for the rest.

8. I hate to say I saw a few misspelled signs. I bet OWS has way |
|
fewer though. Definitely not fake like the teabaggers that were programed by FOX "News", Dick Armey and the Koch brothers.
OWS people are out to help our country not just protect the thieves.

10. Tea party is corporate sanctioned... |
|
The corporations (such as the Koch Brothers) fund the tea party and the movement is fueled by right-wing radio--which has been the propaganda machine for marketing the corporate takeover of America.
I had a conversation with a tea partier after the housing market imploded and the bank bailouts. This tea partier actually argued that all of this meant that the banks needed LESS, not more, regulation and oversight.
Seriously. Think about that. It takes a whole lot of round the clock brainwashing to create that kind of fucked up ignorance.
The corporations have found a weak link in the human chain--right-wing goof weasels who can be convinced of anything. They'll vote against their own interests every time. They'll argue for the corporations--while these corporations destroy our democracy and enrich themselves.
So, of course these sociopaths fund and leverage the tea party. Of course the tea party is allowed to demonstrate without incident. Of course the media covers their 12-person protest, as if it was some earth-shattering event.
I'll never understand the level of idiocy it takes to be standing in the ashes of a total economic collapse--and then turn around and argue for further deregulation on the banks. It's like a big cult of stupid.

|
This is my new term. Thank you. I have been calling them crazystupids and Teabillies until now, but right-wing goof weasels really sums them up nicely.
