On Friday's Dylan Ratigan show on MSNBC, host Dylan Ratigan reported on Minnesota Congresswoman Michelle Bachmann attempting to form a congressional tea party caucus and proceeded to rant: "...the tea partiers were nowhere when it came to ending the mass extraction in Wall Street, so I think they're actually full of crap."

Ratigan then wondered: "...for a movement, however, that prides itself on having no formal ties to the federal government, forget the aspect of being full of crap when it comes to the banking system, why are the Republican Party members and tea party members so receptive to getting together?" He posed that question to his guests, left-wing talk show host Cenk Uygur and former Bill Clinton speechwriter Michael Waldman.

Uygur couldn't agree more with Ratigan's assessment: "You took the words right out of my mouth. She {Bachmann} is so full of crap. I mean, she might be the queen of crap." He then proclaimed: "All she's ever done is protected the bankers....I guess the tea party movement, in essence, is actually about protecting the richest people in America. Wow, what a populist movement you have there."

4. Isn't NewsBusters a wingnut site?

I briefly spent some time on a site that supposedly welcomed differing political views, and one wingnut always posted videos from there that were failed attempts at comedy and satire

8. As I like to put it

NewsBusters is a right wing Media Matters, minus the logic and facts.

5. Why do they need to collect money from the corporate interests?

For political campaign funds? Where does the vast majority of the campaign money go?

TV ads.

What's the best way to eliminate the need for so much money for TV campaign ads...?
