How come the Tea Baggers have not been out protesting BP? I thought they were "populists"?

1. .

:rofl:

5. BP is white

[DJ13]

2. Tea baggers are corporate stooges

They wouldnt dare protest against a major corporation.

[mrcheerful]

3. The only time tea baggers are populists is when they are trying to keep

their unfair share of entitlements and keeping others from applying for their share of those same entitlements.

[JaneQPublic]

4. They're Populists against the Government but not against Big Corporations

See, they're for Citizens over Government, and Corporations over Government, but Corporations over Citizens.

It's kind of like a rock-paper-scissors thing, only where Corporations beat everything else.

:rofl:

6. So if corporations like BP trample all over our rights as common citizens, that's ok with them?

[KansDem]

7. Yeah, because they're not "government"

...reminds me of this scene from Idiocracy

Just subsitute:
"Brawndo" for "BP"
"Plants" for "TeaBaggers"
"Electrolytes" for "no government oversight"

8. That's easy

The only protest when they are "TOLD" to by their fearless leaders, overlord Limbaugh, Heir Beck, or the corporate shills that are using them to do their dirty work! They only protest when they are told who to protest, and that is usually only the democrats, or the president! They were all ticked off with the bailouts, the huge bonus's checks bankers and wall street were giving out, but no once have I seen where they have went to any of those HQ's and protested because they have not been told to! They only march when told, and they only protest when told, they just can't "THINK" on their own, they need some idiot to think for them!

9. Bingo ... the GOP tells them what to support or denounce.

[RBInMaine]

11. But hey, I thought they were "grassroots." What gives? Corporate control? By whom? :-)

[Arkana]

10. Because Obama went after BP.

Ergo, they must defend BP.

Oppose Obama--that is the Tea Party agenda. Just like the Republicans in Congress.
