They lost any credibility with most people with a shred of intellectual honesty when they have big government candidates like Palin as their mouth piece.

AMEN, brother! But don't paint them all with the same brush. Not everybody that identifies themselves with the liberty movement endorse Palin, et al, as spokespeople.

I always wondered where this crowd was during the years of George The Lesser. Never heard a peep. It's just like the war protesters that have seem to just vanished. Rather telling.

You may have missed it but earlier it was stated that the Tea Party Movement came into existence in Dec, 2007 and there was plenty of angst expressed against the Bush regime. MSM didn't report on it, though.

They got involved with the tea party before Rawn Pawl did.

I'd like to see some evidence of that.

I guess it depends on which faction of the tea party we are talking about. The Campaign for Liberty predates any Koch involvement but they brought it out of garages and into the main stream. There are hundreds of different platform groups that identify with the tea party activism, lumping them all into one group is like saying the National Socialist Party and WOW are the same because they vote democrat.

Exhibit A

Note the date at the bottom of the home page of the Tea Party. Citizens for a Sound Economy is a project belonging to the Koch Brothers.

OK, the Citizens for a Sound Economy has a 2002 copyright... what year is that poster from?

That came from a tax payer funded study that came out this year. I remember MSNBC frothing a bit when this was released.

I am just curious as to why the Teabagger movement got so mobilized when Obama came into office? Where were the outcries for personal freedom when Bush was illegally wiretapping people? What about his starting the renditions and Guantanamo Bay? Why were they not calling for hearings about the intelligence failures that lead up to 9/11 as they are for the Benghazi attacks? Where was the concern about the economy as Bush destroyed it? Why weren't they worried when he just invaded countries and put it on credit? What about the allegations of cronyism with Halliburton getting government contracts and their ties to Cheney? Why didn't they ask to see the college transcripts of Bush?

Why didn't they rise up and politically attack Clinton? Or Reagan? Or Carter? What is so different about Obama? Why all teh concern for his birth certificate and place of birth? Why weren't they concerned about Mitt Romney whose family hated the USA and our family values they fled to drug cartel infested Mexico to practice their unGodly and un-American religious practices? Why didn't the Teabaggers demand his birth certificate and his transcripts? What is so different the them? What are your thoughts?

What is so different about Obama? What makes Reagan, Bush Sr., Clinton, and Bush Jr. different than Obama? I mean they are all men who went to good schools and rose to the presidency. I don't know what makes Obama so unique that the GOP and Republicans hate him so much? Why do they talk about the good old days and use flags from early on in US history when we were a slave owning misogynistic poor hating nation? It seems as if they think those were the good ol' days and reminisce about them and they try to emulate them while forgetting the horrors our nation inflicted upon the poor, women, blacks, and native peoples.

Either way I am rambling, but can any of the Conservatives shed some light on what makes Obama so terrifying to the GOP? Why do they use such vitriol when it comes to talking about him versus previous presidents (both Democrat and Republican because the Teabaggers are populists and not aligned with any political party according to many of them, which still doesn't explain why they all ran as Republicans in the recent elections). So why Obama?

Question for DoucheBaggers

why do you keep making threads with statements of opinion disguised as questions?

your assumptions are 100% incorrect, your tone is smug and offensive, and your post is simply a really long version of :

"Why are you so stupid? Why dont you just get smart and agree with me on everything like a smart person should?"

and the answer to that question is, because youre an ignorant buffoon. you have no clue what "tea baggers" believe, and have no interest in WHY they believe that way.

your posts are too masturbatory for anyone else to appreciate.

you really should go back to jacking off while watching videos of yourself jacking off.

Citizens for a sound economy... Never heard of them before today. The internet knows everything though. Started in 1986!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citizens_for_a_Sound_Economy

"According to the conservative magazine Weekly Standard, CSE's greatest political success came in 1993 when it opposed Bill Clinton's proposal for a BTU energy tax."

Why do Democrats want to make energy unaffordable for the poorest among us. Why do you progs want poor people to die from exposure to the elements?

I am pretty sure a Democrat was once a high ranking member of the KKK. Why are all you Democrats Klan members?

Wheeeeee!

I think most Americans are just fed up i agree where

country has taken some steps in the wrong direction

You must admit the tea party did get much more vocal under Mr Hope and Change. Granted that's when the shills at Fox News started to give them air time.I'm a pretty conservative guy, not on social issues. I just don't understand how a single person can defend any political incumbent. None of them have fixed a thing, it is insane to keep voting these people back in. Even Ron Paul. I agree with some of his message, but he is the wrong person to deliver it.

The Tea Party Movement was born on Dec 16, 2007... so W was a year away from being gone. If you didn't hear any complaints from them about W, you weren't listening.

there is no need to play dumb because you are dumb.

go to google. seqarch for tea party. click news. set the search interval for 12/2007 - 11-2008, and tell me who ALL of their complaints were against.

it is not accurate to say that the tea party was formed when W was a year from being gone, it is accurate to say that the tea party was formed when obama (or hillary) were months away from taking the presidency.

now shut the fuck up with your revisionist history, mustachioed hooker lover.

hell, you can even go back into the archives of RIU if you want to try to prove me wrong.

pro tip: you can't because you are a horrible liar and recorded history does not fit your revisionist history.

now go sit in the corner you fucking dunce.

bullshit.

the emergence of barack obama is what gave birth to the tea party.

stop trying to rewrite history.

everyone missed it because their complaints against shrub did not exist. they only became vocal when it was clear obama or hillary was gonna take the white house.

Rawn Fucking Paul is dead, let the fucker rot in peace.

He only supports the good standard cos he has interests in gold/silver companies, he's a faux libertarian and he truely needs to go fuck himself.

You should've voted Gary Johnson in 2012...

I am pretty sure this whole "movement" started when that NYSE guy said we needed another boston tea party in response to the auto bailouts.

Can't find the video.. Any help guys?

I remember standing outside the college (protesting the medical bill) when barack came to my college. Some dudes in a truck asked me if I was a teabagger.

Not like I was saying anything.. I was just holding a sign with a quote from George Washington. (Government is not reason, it is not eloquence, it is force; like fire, a troublesome servant and a fearful master.)

I was really disappointed with the way the bill was pushed through and congress/house saying they didn't have time to read it. Why would you pass something you didn't read?

Anyhow.. Why is it that all protesters are considered teabaggers? (Or part of the teaparty movement)

The Tea Party movement is an American political movement that advocates strict adherence to the United States Constitution,[SUP][1][/SUP] reducing U.S. government spending and taxes,[SUP][2][/SUP][SUP][3][/SUP] and reduction of the U.S. national debt and federal budget deficit.[SUP][2][/SUP] The movement has been called partly conservative,[SUP][4][/SUP][SUP][5][/SUP] partly libertarian,[SUP][6][/SUP][SUP][7][/SUP] and partly populist.[SUP][8][/SUP][SUP][9][/SUP][SUP][10][/SUP] The movement has sponsored protests and supported political candidates since 2009.[SUP][11][/SUP][SUP][12][/SUP][SUP][13[/SUP]

[h=3]First national protests[/h]

Ron Paul

On February 19, 2009,[SUP][79][/SUP] in a broadcast from the floor of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, CNBC Business News editor Rick Santelli criticized the government plan to refinance mortgages, which had just been announced the day before. He said that those plans were "promoting bad behavior"[SUP][80][/SUP] by "subsidizing losers' mortgages". He suggested holding a tea party for traders to gather and dump the derivatives in the Chicago River on July 1.[SUP][81][/SUP][SUP][82][/SUP][SUP][83][/SUP] A number of the floor traders around him cheered on his proposal, to the amusement of the hosts in the studio. Santelli's "rant" became a viral video after being featured on the Drudge Report.[SUP][84][/SUP]
Overnight, websites such as ChicagoTeaParty.com (registered in August 2008 by Chicagoan Zack Christenson, radio producer for conservative talk show host Milt Rosenberg,) were live within 12 hours.[SUP][85][/SUP] About 10 hours after Santelli's remarks, reTeaParty.com was bought to coordinate Tea Parties scheduled for Independence Day and, as of March 4, was reported to be receiving 11,000 visitors a day.[SUP][85][/SUP]
According to The New Yorker writer Ben McGrath[SUP][79][/SUP] and New York Times reporter Kate Zernike,[SUP][69][/SUP] this is where the movement was first inspired to coalesce under the collective banner of "Tea Party". By the next day, guests on Fox News had already begun to mention this new "Tea Party".[SUP][86][/SUP]
As reported by The Huffington Post, a Facebook page was developed on February 20 calling for Tea Party protests across the country.[SUP][87][/SUP] Soon, the "Nationwide Chicago Tea Party" protest was coordinated across over 40 different cities for February 27, 2009, thus establishing the first national modern Tea Party protest.[SUP][88][/SUP][SUP][89][/SUP] The movement has been supported nationally by at least 12 prominent individuals and their associated organizations.[SUP][90][/SUP]
Fox News called many of the protests in 2009 "FNC Tax Day Tea Parties" which it promoted on air and sent speakers to.[SUP][91][/SUP][SUP][92][/SUP] This was to include then-host Glenn Beck, though Fox came to discourage him from attending later events.[SUP][93][/SUP]
