WTF! Velvet Underground's Moe Tucker is a teabagger

[devilgrrl]

:wtf::evilfrown:

It's safe to assume that most Velvet Underground fans never imagined that "All Tomorrow's Parties" would end up referring to Tea Party rallies in Georgia.

The legendary band's followers and admirers are buzzing about reports that drummer Maureen "Moe" Tucker showed up at a Tea Party rally earlier this year and expressed her anger that the government is leading the country to socialism.

A woman identified as Maureen Tucker was interviewed by news station WALB-TV at a rally in Tifton, Georgia last April, expressing her fury:

"I'm furious about the way we're being led towards socialism. I'm furious about the incredible waste of money when things that we really need and are important get dropped because there's no money left."

The Tea Party Patriots, one of the largest umbrella groups of Tea Party activists, has a page for Tucker on its website, in which she urges activists to write to "King Obama":

"DONT WAIT FOR A TEA PARTY - SEND HIM A LETTER/POSTCARD! YOU'LL FEEL BETTER!! KING OBAMA THE WHITE HOUSE WASH; DC 20500".

According to the Guardian, Tucker says she has also been protesting against cap and trade, the administration's proposal to stem global warming.

Tucker continues: "This 'administration' HAS TO GO! I have come to believe (not just wonder) that Obama's plan is to destroy America from within. It is the only reasonable explanation for his actions/inactions!"

7. Drugs are bad, m'kay?

8. She must have made enough money playing skins in that bland to

become a Republican.

Or, maybe too many hard drugs in the 60's fried her brain.

9. I'll take washed up 70's rock band members for 100, Alex.

Quick, anyone know the political leanings of the drummer for Three Dog Night? Sly and the Family Stone? Up With People? Please, it's important. I must know!

10. strange- Bush(well Rove really) wrote the book on stealing elections

I think we should unite with all who fight for fair elections though.



I agree on cap and trade. It is absurd to try to charge us more for energy because of global warming when those DC bastards sent all of our jobs and industries overseas where there are no environmental regulations. So it's okay to have all of our products produced somewhere where they pollute like crazy? It's not like we share the same earth or anything. When they cancel NAFTA, WTO and the like...then we can talk about their cap and trade bs.
