TeaBaggers: America's 2nd big Banboozle (Update)
We are going to hear a lot from TeaBaggers with the passage of the HealthCare Reform Bill. In my opinion, the oligarchy, via the Media, will once again make efforts to *Bamboozle Americans but this time with the TeaBagger movement as follows:
Journalism is failing the public big time on this TeaBagger movement and it is by design. I note with interest the newly formed Coffee Party. Founder Annabel Park has immediately been targeted as spokesperson. When the party recently had a meeting at StarBucks across the country, the media interviewed people identifying them by having their names in full view on the screen as they spoke.
I posit we Villagers are in the midst of being Bamboozled once again but at this time with a mythical boogeyman. The media and oligarchy are once again taking advantage of the deliberate mis-education of the vast number of Americans. Sad.
Fighting for the dignity of my Ancestors,
God bless Bill Gates, WPFW, C-SPAN and the spirits of the unborn for the help,

P.S.
I sincerely hope the President has learned the lesson that a leader must set the tone and direction how he wants his bills to be crafted and not leave it to underlings. By not doing so from the very beginning, the President put the country in great peril. He was lucky this time. LUCKY, you hear! Lucky he was able to grab the HealthCare Bill from the jaws of utter defeat within a few days of its passage. Lucky the Gods were truly on his side with this one.

Right Wing Violence Is An American Tradition

Excerpt: Opening paragraph
Some liberals are shocked and upset at the increasingly ugly, even violent nature of the health care debate, but those who know American history are not surprised. What we are witnessing is the same tactic employed for decades by those in power in the United States. Whenever something or someone threatened the hegemony of capitalism, those with power and money have made a show of their pit bull: the Radical Right. Whether it's the Ku Klux Klan or the Silver Shirts or the Black Legion, right wing thugs have always been useful for beating, intimidating and killing workers who wanted to organize, minorities who wanted equal rights or those who resisted the capitalists' wars. And the American law enforcement and legal systems have been quite adept at looking the other way.

1. The term “TeaBaggers” is often used as anonymous source.
2. There is rarely if ever a name associated with TeaBaggers nor the identification of a specific state nor specific chapter.
3. There has not been a TeaBagger chapter disagreeing nor questioning the many horrible things media accuses them of saying and doing.
4. An interviewed TeaBagger is never identified by name even though the interviewer needs to have them sign a paper of consent.
5. When at a TeaBagger rally, Media focus on the sign rather then the full identification of the person who made it or is carrying it. Nor does Media identify the signers of needed permits.
6. There is not one person whom the media targets as a spokesperson for the movement as they did with Martin Luther King, Rev. Sharpton, Min. Farrakhan or Jane Fonda. Their names do not become household words.
