]"The Tea Party grew out of a fear of a changing America"[/B]
Kelly said that was a veiled reference to "people of color" and fear of minorities.
West then proceeds to go on his stump speech about People calling the Tea Party racist.....
When it seemed the point was about how big money is actually what grew the Tea Party.
No it didn't.
Tea Party grew at the start of President Bush and the bailout of Banks in 2008.
It continued to grow under President Obama.
The voters are sick and tired of an out of control Government that won't abide by the Constitution.
Big money latched on to the Tea Party and there are only 3 or 4 of them that are funded by big money.
The vast majority of them are the people (the voters themselves).
Stop listening to the political spin talk, because it's not true at all about what the Tea Party is about.
Both Parties, especially the incumbents are scared to death of them, because they know that they will lose their power if they ever get enough representation.
That is false. The so-called tea party's started raising its ugly head the minute the black guy became president. That's when the loons started ranting about "taking back the government". That amused me given that power changed hands in a lawful election. Actually make that TWO lawful elections. And the sore losers are STILL ranting that they aren't getting their way..
Not at all.
In fact it was already years old and CNBC's Rick Santelli -not FOX or the boggy men Koch brothers- is widely credited with launching the grassroots movement. While standing on the floor of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange on February 19, 2009, he unleashed what can only be called a rant against the Obama Administration's proposal to help homeowners facing foreclosure refinance their mortgages.
"Do we really want to subsidize the losers' mortgages?" he asked. "This is America! How many of you people want to pay for your neighbor's mortgage that has an extra bathroom and can't pay their bills?" He went on to suggest that he would organize a Chicago Tea Party in July, where capitalists would dump "some derivative securities into Lake Michigan." The video of his tirade became a YouTube hit, and thus the movement was born. Within weeks, Tea Party protests were sprouting up all over the country. The Tea Party name, a clear reference to the American colonists' dumping of tea into Boston Harbor to protest taxes imposed by King George, stands as an acronym as well: Taxed Enough Already. link
