Is it just me or is anyone else getting fed to the back teeth with this "small town americans rising up against the oppressive state" nonsense?
they have a long history. It was Du Pont money behind the war that the fascist, corporatist American Liberty League waged against FDR and The New Deal, the ringing (and absurdly false) cry then the same as now: "SOCIALISM".
"Only the fat cats change " as Frank Rich of the Times puts it.
in the 60, it was the John Birch Society. There was a fella in those days that help fund the Birchers. He felt a lil guilty for having supported Stalin by creating a network of Oil Processing plants with all the newest American Tecnology. His name was Frank Koch. His sons are the fat cats behind the war against Obama, providing, either directly or through his corporatations and funded political action groups such as Americans For Prosperity who can be found behind virtually every rally. The AfP was created and receives most of its funding from... guess who?
and the agenda the TPers want.... does a grand job of preserving the billions Koch makes each year from despoiling the planet - a well documented claim, including a recent article in the New Yorker which has Koch's panties all in a knot. Good.
dupes who think it better to place their liberty in the hands of Daddy Warbucks, who is not responsible to them in any way, rather than democratically elected representatives. all those fiercely independent hard working americans who only want a fair chance... to suckle at the bellies of the rich and powerful. perhaps we call it the Teat Party.

- New York TimesThere’s just one element missing from these [Tea Party] snapshots of America’s ostensibly spontaneous and leaderless populist uprising: the sugar daddies who are bankrolling it, and have been doing so since well before the “death panel” warm-up acts of last summer.
