Bamster and the Tea Party

Mr. Obama told Rolling Stone that the tea party movement is financed and directed by "powerful, special-interest lobbies." But this doesn't mean that tea party groups are composed entirely of corporate puppets. Mr. Obama graciously implied that a small subset of the movement is simply motivated by bigotry.
The President said "there are probably some aspects of the Tea Party that are a little darker, that have to do with anti-immigrant sentiment or are troubled by what I represent as the President." The tea party is now supported by a third of the country in some polls.

 OK, here is my disclaimer-

    I have been to several Tea Party rallies, The first was in the rain, in Lafayette Square, which is adjacent to the White House, on April 15th 2009. Most folks there were using plastic sheeting or ponchos to keep dry. If there were corporate sponsorship, where was the money being spent? Further, the crowd of approximately 2,000 was, to use a P.C. term very diverse. I don't believe that Racism or Bigotry had anything to do with the rally. Spending and Big Govt. did.

    The second Tea Party rally I attended was the following 4th of July at my local Courthouse. Again, if there were corporate money involved, it was not evident among the 1,000 or so people that showed up. The crowd was not as diverse as the one in Washington D.C.. Then again, it wasn't all one group either. I think the second crowd represented the makeup of the area in proportion to its' inhabitants. Again, at either rally I never heard a bigoted remark, nor saw a sign that could be considered racist.

    I surmise that the left doesn't like when regular people begin to speak out. They are planning a “One Nation” rally in Washington DC for October 2nd. This rally although does have sponsorship, Union and left leaning religious “Social Justice” groups. These groups are paying for Buses and food for those willing to attend. As far as I know, at the Tea Party rallies, individuals scheduled the buses and each rider paid for their seats and brought or bought their own food..

     I have noticed that when the left accuses a group or an individual of something, they have either already done it, or are planning it. Like John McCain not being an American because he was born in the Panama Canal Zone. I wonder whom they were worried about with that one?
