Tax Day Tea Party Revolution evolution

April 13, 2009

Mr Jack Livitsky - here you go. I had to dig deep into the archive drafts to find everything. The Tax Day Tea Party movement sprang out of Rick Santelli’s spontaneous (yes) rant from the floor of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange on CNBC’s Squawk Box. It’s hysterical and got a lot of play. And like everything else - media attention => grassroots action - in this case for good reason. According to a Rasmussen Poll 55% of the American People at that time thought barry’s plan was rewarding bad behavior.

barrymedia of course morphed it into a personal attack on barry and went after Santelli, which of course stoked Santelli and generic anti-barry fans. Chris Matthews had Santelli on and had to ask him who he voted for and then compared him to Limbaugh and Hannity. Robert Gibbs the White House Spokesman was disrespectful and sarcastic in defense of barry. I’m not sure when they are going to realize that frat boy campaign press handling shows just how inexperienced and arrogant barry and his people are. And the WH press corp is showing how unprofessional they are by allowing it to go on.

The Chicago Tea Party organizers “Don’t Go” said they received a request from RNC Chairman Michael Steele to speak but Eric Odom of Don’t Go said it was a gathering for We The People to speak and that he was welcome to attend and listen. Steele said he never asked to speak and Don’t Go answered back.

The Tea Party encouraged folks to send tea bags to DC, which caused a ruckus in the senate post office because of the loose leafy contents. They wondered why barry’s weed dealers weren’t able to deliver it in person! Although the tea parties are not directly related to barry’s eligibility issue - the tea bags were sweet revenge for the Anthrax quarantine.

Some of those I’ve already posted on - see links below. The rest I’ll post now. Hopefully it answers all your questions. If not, let me know. You can write a comment on any of the posts rather than email, if you like.
