This is an excellent article. Both Dick Armey and Tom Tancredo have supported for years the Iranian Communist MEK (MKO, PMOI, NCRI, Rajavi Cult, or Pol Pot of Iran) terrorists. Tancredo is a chickenhawk who avoided military service in Vietnam using a mental excuse.

Controlled Opposition: The Tea Party Turds and the House of Rothschild

In the free marketplace of ideas, money can often win the argument. There has been a flood of it from bank bailouts, health insurance proceeds, wealthy ‘conservatives’, oil companies and other corporations. Lobbyists handle massive amounts. The Chamber of Commerce can funnel it to media to hide the actual source and a lot goes to Rupert Murdoch’s minions.
Sarah Palin, Mike Huckabee, Newt Gingrich are highly paid Fox News political analysts. So are Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity. These are the people that initiated and nurtured the tea party movement. Rupert Murdoch, the owner of Fox News, has all of them on his payroll.
Given Murdoch’s role, it is no surprise that the tea party message is corporate. Denying global warming is good for oil companies, opposing health care reform benefits insurance companies and pharma, blocking renewed regulation of the financial sector satisfies banks and sets the stage for another even worse collapse of the economy, privatization removes activities from public oversight, deficit mongering that leads to cuts in government spending could devastate the economy. (Economists like Joseph Stiglitz, Paul Krugman and James Galbraith opine that the stimulus was much too small and that, given the amount of joblessness, more is needed.) This is not time to balance the Federal Budget. If tea partiers have their way, we are in for much worse.
TP’s cry “Socialism” as if that were a complete argument. Few of them would likely renounce Social Security or Medicare. We should learn some lessons from countries that are functioning well: Finland has the highest quality education in the world, Denmark, Sweden, and Norway all have well-run social programs. All have mixed economies where government does what is best public, and the private sectors are thriving as well. Taking a meat axe to government is no solution.

The links you’ve posted are absolute garbage. It is bigoted, rightwing neo-Nazi trash and hate speech. The Dankof link you posted contains hate filled crap like the following:

Do these fanatic people who mention the US constitution actually read the said constitution?
Posted by bigbrass1s on Mar 23, 2010 at 5:47 PM
I don’t believe they do. I also don’t believe that their real concern is the US Constitution. They are mostly a group of racists and fascists who want to create violence and havoc to promote their disgusting views. They have stirred up by an atmosphere of hate and hysteria fomented by the lies of right wing pundits and the Republican Party. All these forces are a threat to our democracy. They are making numerous death threats to anyone they disagree with and have committed nauseating acts of violence. Obama should use any means available to stop them.
