The Tea Party is not as grassroots as we are led to believe. They are under the direction of the ultra-right wing lobbyist group ironically named "FreedomWorks" led by Dick Armey. Teabaggers get their marching orders and funding from Freedomworks, who in turn gets its money from corporations like Koch Industries. The money from Koch and other corporations is quietly funneled to organizations like Freedomsworks and Americans for Prosperity to stage what they would like us to believe are citizen protests. Through obfuscation, fear and intimidation, corporations and the secretive billionaire Koch brothers are determined to control public opinion on issues that might cause people to question their business practices.
The tactics of the tea party teabaggers is eerily similar to those of the Brown Shirts in the first half of the twentieth century during the rise of Nazism. For example, at the health care discussions by Congressman, Dick Armey and his henchmen were the ones responsible for training and organizing the hecklers whose only goal was to shout down debate and intimidate anyone who tried to express their own opinion. These mercenary 'protesters' are waging a war over the control of the public square.
Freedomworks Brown Shirt organizers gave specific instructions how to infiltrate a crowd to give the impression that your agents represent the majority, how to completely shout down all other people, and how to intimidate anyone who tried to disagree.
A recent video clip of tea party teabaggers screaming and verbally abusing an elderly man on the ground who had Parkinson's disease is a sickening but typical display of the sociopathic nature underlying the tea party Brown Shirts.
The sinister overlapping of neo-nazi groups, the KKK, and the tea party teabaggers is no accident. Freedomworks and the Americans for Prosperity actively cultivate and channel existing hate groups' activities toward its own political ends. The video shown below on this blog (Right Wing Crazies & Tea Party United Against Health Reform) shows how teabaggers and traditional racist groups are co-opting the anti-Obama campaign as a 'softer', more politically acceptable form of racism. The Koch brothers and other large corporations have hired Freedomworks to show these hate groups how to mask their outright racism and twist it into a more news-friendly 'political protest'. Watch the video and you can judge for yourself if it's working!

I don't know much about navigating blogs, so excuse me if I'm not doing this correctly. I just wanted you to know how much I appreciate your thoughts and your ability to tell the truth. Your simple explanations can profoundly impact what's happening to this country at the hands of Republican conservatives, Tea Baggers and who else out there continues shouting for no good reason.
I enjoy writing political humor/satire, but am so technologically challenged, I can't figure out how to set up a blog! Can you point me in the right direction? Honestly, I can be funny and zany. But I'm not as talented at making the plain, but crucial facts into such great articles the way you are. Bravo! I will visit often.
