Isn't the Tea Party really the Koch Party?

[graywarrior]

Shouldn't we start calling it what it really is?

[Lil Missy]

1. Koch has fueled and funded them, so yes.

They could be called the Koch Party. Or Cock party?

[graywarrior]

4. I think I will refer to them as the Koch party from now on

Cock Party is cute, but there are women among them...lol

[pangaia]

22. Teaparty women probably don't even know what cock means.

[valerief]

2. Yes. nt

[Tarheel_Dem]

3. YES! nt

[we can do it]

5. Cocks and teabaggers, seem pretty close.

[graywarrior]

7. lol

[joeybee12]

6. Absolutely not!

They're spelled differently for one thing and their financing is...oh wait...nevermind.

[snagglepuss]

8. Great point. I so agree. It reminds me how the other day I said to someone

that the term Capitalism out to be dumped. A better word would be Exploitism.

[graywarrior]

11. Wow, yeah, exactly!

[Mz Pip]

9. The Kochs screwed up.

They should focus on being patrons of the arts and stay out of politics. They were pretty good at the patron stuff. They are screwing up the political arena badly and aren't getting much for their money.

At least with the arts they have something to show for their money.

[graywarrior]

12. Greedy little parasites

[Cha]

10. Yes. And, i have been refering to it as such.

[JEFF9K]

13. I think Koch money is behind it.

Also, it has received billions of dollars worth of free false advertising on talk radio and Fox News.

[Ohio Joe]

14. How about the 'toolbaggers'

[dgibby]

15. I call them Born Again Birchers.

The John Birch Society never died, it just went underground and re-emerged as the Tea Party. I have got to read "Wrapped in the Flag" by Clair Conner, who was raised by parents active in the Society and managed to extricate herself.

[graywarrior]

17. Yeah, since Daddy Koch had something to do with their creation.

[dgibby]

19. Yep! n/t

[Bernardo de La Paz]

16. Nice framing. Hmm, "Tea & Koch Party"? nt

[graywarrior]

18. The GOP extremists are snorting Koch!

[Bernardo de La Paz]

20. Another good one! nt

[gopiscrap]

21. Exactly

[kimbutgar]

23. Koch baggers

The John Birchers have taken over the house. As a kid growing up my dad refused to buy welch's grape juice for me because welch was a John Bircher, the Koch' father was their big funder. To this day I will never drink welch's grape juice.

[graywarrior]

25. Oh man, I forgot about that!

Welch's! I never knew why my dad wouldn't get that when we were kids!

[muntrv]

24. Call them Kochsuckers.
