Rick Rowley of Big Noise Films discusses visiting the 9/12 protests, the tea party movement, and the narratives underpinning the philosophy--if there is one.

1. For every 75,000 teabaggers that show up there are 10's of millions who reject them

[bjobotts]

2. Misinformed and delusional. They don't even know what they want, just condemnations

[bjobotts]

3. A "Mayberry" government just doesn't work with an ever expanding population.

[bjobotts]

4. They lose an election, refuse to accept it, and condemn anyone who disagrees with them

[bjobotts]

5. They lack the main principle of a democracy..."Tolerance". It's their way or no way.

6. Thank goodness they are a minority in spite of their huge collective ego

7. Palin and Teabaggers.....

The ONE thing that makes me think that Palin and the Teabaggers will never be a big force to reckon with in the USA is the fact that they drive AWAY the gays, transgenders, blacks, latinos, asians, pro-choicers, PEOPLE WITH BRAINS, etc. and NO ONE can win seats with only 'white votes'.
At least that is what I keep praying.

I just keep hoping that the Teabaggers will endorse candidates 'other than' the candidates that the GOP endorses and then we DEMS can pick up more seats like the one we did in NY-13 ;)

8. As a white man...

I cannot wait for the day when we whites become the minority in this country. We've already done enough damage. Who does the most damage in this country? The old white men in Congress...along with Michelle Bachmann and Sarah Palin.
