Last year, the looney left was having a ball hurling insults at the rag tag, irrelevant, stupid, sexually deviant, ignorant, redneck, no nothings in the Tea Party movement. They knew that their man Obama was going to kick ass! They knew that their intellectual superiority, massive deficit spending, erratic policies, taxes, government takeovers and fraud would rule the day.
18 months later they are about to get their butts kicked, and have changed their tune. Now Monbiot claims that the Tea Party is a conspiracy of billionaires.

This all makes sense, from an Old Left point of view, as the “masses” of Marxian memory cannot obviously think for themselves…
He (moonbat) would know all about conspiracies, would he not?
Sorry, couldn’t bring myself to click on the link. So I’ve only seen what’s on the main page.
My intro to the Tea Party was attending its first meeting here in San Diego. I went with some trepidation as I didn’t have any idea who, if anyone, would show. Turned out, about 100-150 folks showed up, along both sides of a long block, and a strip of park bordering the harbor. Mostly in their fifties and sixties — ‘boomers’, I guess you’d call em. After fifteen minutes or so, someone plugged in the amp (a battered job the size of a toaster, with a dedicated power cord) and a few speakers….spoke.
That was February ’09. It’s grown a little since then. Healthy turf — sturdy, and quite green.
These people have no clue. Regardless of what happens next Tuesday, their outer- galactic commentary will be endlessly amusing.

sorry for the dupe. ok to remove.
No dupes in our tea party–about 200 members that mostly have never voted in their lives–finally waking up –Get rid of that Jackass obama working to ruin this Country
If you have not been to a Tea Party meeting you would be stunned as to how different they are from the media portrayals. The people who meet in the basement of Lutheran churches for coffee and cookies after services? That’s your typical Tea Party. I’m talking Ozzie and Harriet. Fred and Ethel. Norman Rockwell types.
What I’d LIKE to see is a new Sons of Liberty offshoot for more, shall we say, vigorous engagements…

The guardian is has received its attack orders:
“Tea Party climate change deniers funded by BP and other major polluters ”
It’s a triple threat.
It never ceases to amaze me how much the elite really hate ordinary people.
In the UK we have got used to seeing UKIP members dismissed in similar fashion as stupid,mad, racist, fruitcakes, little Englanders etc just because they have had the temerity to challenge the way mainstream politicians want to operate.
I suppose it does show just how scared they are.
The UK invented Eugenics remember, they are specialists at making up science scams
It’s deeper than that. You’re dealing with a profound insularity, associated with(and based in part on) a well-cultivated sense of superiority. (Believe me, in their minds, these guys have all their ducks in a row!) The result is the out-of-this-world inanity that you see in Monbiot’s article. It’s quite fascinating, really. Like coming upon some strange growth that doesn’t fit in with the rest of the surroundings. (If they weren’t so dangerous, perhaps it would be worth cultivating them as a kind of psycho-social resource. A kind of lab demo.)
It’s also amusing to see how these people discard their avowed egalitarianism so effortlessly when anyone does anything that runs against their preconceptions.
I attended my first Tea Party rally on April 1 2009. A few thousand of us gathered for a rally. Local media said there were a couple of hundred. Judge for yourself.

ooops….Should have said April 15, 2009, not April 1.
The Tea Started Brewing Under Bush
By Timothy Dalrymple
The tea started brewing under Bush. It’s important that Democrats and Republicans alike understand this.

If Monbiot had an original thought, the resulting headache would likely kill him. Recycling discredited talking points from fringe lefties in the US is just pathetic.
Mindless Monboit.
Unfortunately, the progressives have the usual solution for things that don’t go their way. They cheat:

…amazing that Moonbat, living in Europe, would be an authority on US political opinion. Amazing also that one of the world’s most deluded would project their delusion across the pond.
