Tea Parties are over. There are no Tea Parties this week. They will take place but the cards are against any impact.
The rescue of Captain Phillips will be the only news this week (except for fuzzy new puppy footage) and if the Tea Parties get any news coverage whatsoever, it will be from the angle that the US is celebrating a heroic rescue and a bunch of Obama-haters are whining and bashing America. To make matters worse, the only press coverage will be from Fox and AM Radio which will further support the premise that the right wing is out of touch with Main Stream America while “Real Americans” celebrate a heroic military action led by the Commander In Chief!
The only hope was that they would be so heavily supported that even the MSM could not ignore them. Now they will be smeared.
I was at the chad ‘riots’ that shouted down Jessie ‘White Corporate Dweeb Shakedown’ Jackson. There were a lot of freepers there, but as far as I know, it wasn’t organized. I did see one motor home with some young, whitebread, dufus idiot Republicans in it that were, A. Pussy’s. B. Clueless. C. Radiated immense privilege. D. Were dislike and never seen more that a few feet. They were at the voting secretary’s office and I think young lawyers. Anyways, they were total stiffs.
I hope he has a total mental breakdown when the momentum of these tea parties leads further down the path of a conservative re-birth in this great country.
There is no such thing as bad publicity. Thanks NYT!
Maybe Krugman isn’t aware that the American Revolution was supported by about 1/3 of the population at that time, at most.
Minorities can do amazing things when their backs are against the wall, so to speak.
I don’t think Mr. Krugman’s article had the desired effect.
I just joined FreedomWorks - thanks to him.

From now on I will be referring to this new propagandist alignment of the US media in the following manner, and I suggest that we all here adopt the same approach as well.
MEDIA FASCIST!
That is what Paul Krugman (and his compatriots) has brought to this country.
They are now all FASCISTS because they levy hate upon the the precept of the two-party system.
The good news is that almost every prognostication he has ever made has been wrong.
Who cares what this socialist munchkin thinks? I don’t...
This guy is a boob. One of my liberal colleagues said the same thing this morning. I calmly asked him that if this was a big Republican organized event (astroturfing he called it), then why did the Pittsburg Tea party have Dr. Alan Keyes as their keynote speaker on saturday? Would the GOP actually pay to provide a platform to Dr. Keyes, who repudiated the GOP and joined the AIP?
He couldn’t answer that.
Krugman’s spittle and drivel about the supposedly ( his take) “meaningless” tea parties recalls the classic argument one can use against atheists..to wit: “If God doesn’t exist, as you profess, then why are you so concerned about those of us who believe in Him?”
Krazy Krugman strikes again.

Krugman has a job writing for the New York Times - and he calls us crazy?
Reference bump! ;-)
