Captain America Busts Up Tea-Parties

Captain America has a new enemy: Teabaggers. In Captain America #602, the Cap and his African-American sidekick, the Falcon, infiltrate a tea party protest to find the leader of a militia group called the Watchdogs. The Falcon is skeptical of infiltrating the protest, "I don't exactly see a black man from Harlem fitting in with a bunch of angry white folks."

Ron Paul Under Attack by the "Tea Party" Movement

The "Tea Party" movement has a variety of conservatives, libertarians and independents who share a common opposition to big government. So, why on earth would Tea Partiers ever attack Ron Paul, the biggest adversary to big government Washington has seen in many years? As liberty-minded individuals, we must always be cautious of those who cling to our ideology not to advance liberty but instead to gain political power. Let history be a reminder to this testament.

Taxpayer Money Used To Ridicule "Teabaggers"

Sponsered by none other than the notorious, state-affiliated National Public Radio (NPR). I'm wondering if there is any attempted intelligent message behind this humorless video? 

In a new video posted online, NPR called teapartiers "teagbaggers."  The mockery on the NPR webiste begins with :

Learn to speak teabag. Finally, learning a new language doesn't have to be hard. You can be fluent in conversational teabag in just a few short minutes.

The cartoon character enthusiastically shouts: "I think the public option and the competition it would foster would … really … socialist, socialist!"  The narrorator replies: "Good.  Lesson 2:  If you're having trouble understanding the words of others or being understood yourself, use teabags' stronger, more descriptive words."

Then the ever baffled cartoon character yells: "Nazi! Nazi! Nazi!"

The Neocons Are Losing Ground

Justin Raimondo of Antiwar.com writes about the recent encouraging developments of the "tea party movement." Most of the tea-party-goers are becoming increasingly non-interventionist:

[The teaparty movement is] on the cusp of learning the great lesson that conservatives of the cold war era failed to absorb: that the idea of maintaining a global military presence, including an empire of bases and an interlocking network of overseas military and financial "interests," rules out the limited-government agenda they so passionately embrace.

Raimondo even mentions Ron Paul, C4L and YAL.

The neocons hate Ron Paul, because he is the symbol of everything they have always opposed: liberty, populism, and, most of all, the Old Right, the pre-Buckley pro-free market "isolationist" movement that opposed the New Deal and Roosevelt’s wartime dictatorship. Paul’s supporters, organized in the Campaign for Liberty – and their very active youth section, Young Americans for Liberty – are the most well-organized and consciously ideological strain of the tea party movement. They also have the advantage of seniority: many of them were going to tea parties – yearly "Tax Day" demonstrations – long before it was cool.
