1. FAUX news created the Tea Party with millions of dollars in
free advertising and providing celebrities for the early gatherings (for free).

4. I don't think they're enabling. I think they're trying to destroy the spawn of their own demon seed.
The general line will be how far out of the mainstream they are.

Just like the "far left", these people are a threat to the status quo.

5. The Tea Party IS the creation of the media. They're not just
the willing enablers - they're the creators. Faux news began pushing them and then willy-nilly the rest of the MSM jumped on the bandwagon giving them unrestricted air time. Remember the summer of the supposed 'Town Hall' meetings, where all we heard was how the Teabaggers disrupted them. Since then the Tea Party can't fart without the MSM making a media event out of it. Faux is just merely the most culpable.

7. current headline m$nbc - Is Sarah Palin the next Barack Obama?
Edited on Fri Sep-17-10 12:23 PM by spanone
current headline on msnbc.com


When Sarah Palin takes the stage in Des Moines on Friday night to keynote the Iowa Republican Party's Reagan Dinner, she'll send the clearest signal so far that she can see the White House from her home in Wasilla, Alaska.


With C-SPAN planning live coverage of her speech (at 7 p.m. Central time), the former governor has a chance to woo not only Hawkeye voters who will be involved in the first nominating caucuses for 2012, but also a national audience curious about an intriguing figure's future.


For someone who tries to follow and make sense of American political trends, the now-probable run by Palin provokes some questions: Have we seen this movie before? Will the upcoming presidential campaign look strangely like the last one? Not to be impertinent or impolitic, could Sarah Palin be the next Barack Obama?

8. Make no mistake: The next congress will be elected by and for Fux Noise.
That is if the teabaggers gain control, and what do they hope to accomplish? I don't get that part at all.
