The Highjacking Of The Tea Parties
A reader writes:
Just wanted to let you know that Mark Thompson is
right. The tea party idea has actually been around for a while now.
It grew out of the left over Ron Paul supporter groups from the last
election. I was heavily involved in that campaign and, as such, still
am on the contact list for a lot of the grassroots groups that were
created during it. The first time I heard about the "Tea Party" idea
was probably well over a year ago.
More recently, a flurry of e-mails
started to show up from those groups that led to the first couple of
tea parties being organized. However, since the lost in the woods Bush
conservatives and mass media have picked it up, all the grass roots
libertarian organizations have pretty well backed off. Like so many
other things, it is now a casualty of Republican party political
leaders and those who follow them blindly.
