Tea Parties not this columnist's cup of tea

We're winning the battle of ideas against the Tea Parties, because we keep an eye on them and expose the facts about these moronic gatherings at just the right times.

Columnist Robert Nelson of the Omaha World-Herald actually thought the Tea Parties had something coherent to offer before he decided to attend one himself. (Omaha had one of the biggest Tea Parties on April 15.)

But that writer was in for a colossal disappointment. His column sums up what a partisan "crankfest" the Omaha event was:

From the description, it sounds almost identical to the Cincinnati event. The partisan ravings, the trite demagoguery, the people wearing Colonial-era hats - every Tea Party sounds the same.

But you expect that from a movement like this that's nationally coordinated by right-wing think tanks and corporations.

  1. Crankfest? Partisan ravings? Trite demagoguery? That sounds like my favorite blog, the Online Lunchpail! You just need a hat. I'm kidding. The Pail is much better organized with the yellow tags and all. Keep up the good work, Tim.
