The "Populist Tea-Party" That WASN'T!!!!

[Mr. Shaman]

"Conservative columnist Michelle Malkin enthusiastically called the "Tea Party" protests "a fledgling grassroot movement" and some of the protesters even described themselves as the vanguard of a "new conservative counterculture." Those claims naturally aroused a certain amount of skepticism, since similar activities in the past have proven to be not genuine grassroots activity but so-called corporate "astroturf."

Now fresh revelations suggest that the skepticism may be well-placed. Mark Ames and Yasha Levine allege in their blog at Playboy.com that the protests were planned well in advance, coordinated by old-line anti-tax organizations, and funded by right-wing corporate interests.http://rawstory.com/news/2008/Tea_Party_protests_sees_as_corporate_0301.html"​

You understand that your own link states the story had to be taken down because it there was no evidence to back their allegations up and they were going to get sued?

If there was any evidence, don't you think they could actually produce it?

I guess this means the subject is changed? On issues of national security, you, like it or not, do not have the "need to know." However on a case such as the one you posted, it is all public knowledge, which you ignored and misrepresented.

Planned well in advance? Like Julio and Henrietta or a Barack Obama press conference ona teleprompter? Why not?

Old line anti-tax organizations? Anti-tax sentiment stands the test of time. Corporate interests, maybe.

And your point is?
