Freedomworks, T-baggers rage against "government-corporate cronyism". Wait... what?

Tea Party activists are taking their message all the way to Salt Lake City, Utah for General Electric’s shareholder meeting on Wednesday. FreedomWorks, along with the Free Enterprise Project and local Tea Party groups, is planning a rally before the meeting to demand the firing of GE CEO Jeffrey Immelt.

“Jeff Immelt is the face of government-corporate cronyism in America today,” said Russ Walker, VP of Political and Grassroots Campaigns at FreedomWorks. “As President Obama’s hand-picked chair of the President’s Council on Jobs and Competitiveness, Immelt abandoned the tenets of free enterprise to lobby on behalf of rent-seeking General Electric, and restrict its competitors in the marketplace.”

The article goes on to say the 'baggers are pretty much only doing this because Ge is co-operating with the gov't on clean energy initiatives. No mention of GE's NOT PAYING ANY FUCKING TAXES or anything like that, just manufactured outrage that follows the GOP party lines. The t-baggers are just pawns for the oil companies.
