7. The Tea Baggers are a set up. To distract, just as you suggest.
Edited on Sun Apr-11-10 03:11 AM by truedelphi
I am getting close to being sixty years old and never in my life have I known the M$M to mention any crowds or mobs of people before, except to tear them down.

I remember the press in Chicago constantly attacking the Black Panthers, so that when the leaders of that party were massacred, the local media said that the police had no choice.

Years later, it was found out that the police stormed the apartment and fired off over two hundred rounds, with the Black Panthers getting off only one shot.

Millions of people have appeared on the streets to show their fierce opposition to the various wars that we have had. Rarely does this give the protesters even five minutes of recognition on the nightly news.

But let 1,500 Tea Baggers show up somewhere, and the media spends the whole day following them and discussing what they said, and letting their various speakers have the podium. In our living rooms, on our TV's.

So yes, this is all part of the Kabuki Theater, and it is necesary because since Obama turned out to be under CorpoRATe Control, more and more people are realizing that our Two Party Circus (Ooops, meant System) needs to be revamped so that we have real representation.

The Powers that Be do not want to be revamped, so the Tea Bagger strategy will continue to be employed and to be used against all of us.
