Didn't I tell everyone this? The whole co-opt theme is nonsense. They can't co-opt something they never owned to begin with.

I disagree. They're co-opting the message, that's the problem. "Tea Party" is now synonymous with Palin, Beck, Hannity, and (puke) Karl Rove.

They are painting the roots of the Tea Party as the "co-opters". That is what I, and others, mean when we say they are "co-opting" it.

With the MSM, they are, but at the ground level it's diversely anti-government as opposed to pro-Republican.
