Default Maddow talks about Ron Paul - Tea Party connection

She had a whole segment comparing the grassroots Ron Paul movement against the top-down "astroturf" tea party thing happening in a few days.

It was mostly a good segment, talking about how well we organized during the campaign. Towards the end though, they made a couple jabs that seemed to discount our ideology. We should email her and tell her to have Ron Paul on and get the complete story.

Ana Marie Cox is a wonktard. And Wonktards read RPF. "In December of 2007, your editor heard about a wonderful idea hatched (of course) on RonPaulForums.com — they wanted to rent an advertising blimp..."

And most of the active Wonktards are somewhat familiar with our ideology.

She's well aware and had Ron on before and actually gave him some time to speak. Still this doesn't discount her Ideology and that Clown from Air America slandering the nationwide TEA PARTY cause as. a fringe group of people, manufactured Fake Grass Roots. Then Cox with that "morphus outrage with the Tea Baggin leader" nonsense.

Of course the preposition junk... I didn't realize that Keynesian Paul Krugman, is now well versed on International pirating commerce(latest statements) and astro turf grass root tea parties and investigation into poticial affiliation. Seems the more Krugman opens his mouth, the more his true colors shine through.

FYI, this is a very old thread.

"Hollywood" hit it on the head.

How I see this tea party is that it is in a sense "astroturf". The people promoting this are the same people behind fox news and some other neocon organizations. The actual people participating in these protests are genuinely angry republicans, however, many are misguided.

I'm totally participating in my local tea party, just to help spread C4L ideals. I just know the score and realize that this isn't some popular uprising, but a finely planned political tool for certain groups that aren't going to benefit from this stimulus like other industries.

They jumped on after the Cincinnati party was such a success. There's no reason to open the tent if we're not going to let anybody in.
