Teagagged! Born In Offshore Drilling, Tea Party Protest Silenced Over Organizers’ Links To 2008 “Drill Here! Drill Now!” Campaign

Why are the hoppin’-mad Teabaggers so oddly quiet these days, ever since the BP oil disaster? That’s what Thomas Frank, author of What’s The Matter With Kansas? asked last week in his column, “Laissez-faire Meets The Oil Spill.” Ideologically, it’s painfully obvious why the Teabaggers are now the Teagaggers: their free-market gospel got mugged by oil-drenched reality — a reality so horrific that even pollster Frank Luntz couldn’t spin the BP disaster as the government’s fault. Best to just shut up when you’re that wrong.

But there’s another, more concrete reason why the Tea Party revolutionaries melted back into their suburbs as soon as the enormity of the Gulf spill disaster hit: The Tea Party evolved out of the pro-offshore drilling astroturf movement in 2008. They even share some of the same organizers and front groups, from PR operative like Eric Odom, to advocacy groups like FreedomWorks, whose combined efforts on the “Drill Here! Drill now!” astroturf campaign succeeded in opening up all of America’s coastlines and waters to offshore drilling, overturning a 27-year ban thanks to threats of “a Boston-style Tea Party,” as one Republican put it in the summer of 2008.

If these organization names get confusing, then just remember this: What really matters is the money behind them — namely, the billionaire Koch money. Since we first broke the Koch-Tea Party links, other media and research outlets have confirmed the Kochs’ key funding and organization role in the Tea Party campaign, as well as defeating climate change fronts and think tanks is daunting.

It’s important to understand just how close the Tea Party campaign is tied to the campaign pushing for unlimited offshore drilling, because the media has consistently misunderstood and misrepresented the Tea Party movement at every step of the way, treating the Tea Party like a legitimate political movement, rather than what it really is: a well-funded and highly-manipulative PR campaign, paid for and led by right-wing billionaires looking to protect their riches from government regulators and taxes. The Tea Party only exists as long as the Kochs need it to run; once the billionaires’ needs change, they’ll close the account out and get onto other business, dumping all the suckers who volunteered their time and Ayn Rand-inspired placards until they’re needed again sometime in the future.

When we (the Tea party) are in power we have some pressing issues to address immediately. One of the more vexing problems is how to contain and roll back liberalism. Liberalism is a true cancer on the moral fiber of this great country. The problem of the “international liberal” is pervasive. It has become clear that a form of soft segregation may be required to ensure the corruption influence of the “international liberal” does not poison the god-fearing people of this great county. The “international liberal” can usually be identified by their clothing and choice of car. A Toyota Prius is a car favored by the “international liberal”. In addition, other identifiers include distinct pachouli and/or weed smell that permeates their musty frumpled clothes. They tend to congregate at major universities with especially high concentrations in the Women’s Study, Journalism and English departments. These are fertile recruiting grounds where they poison the minds of our youth. A modest proposal of separate but equal citizenship for the “international liberal” will be the best course for our country. To ensure minimal interaction with the general population and identify themselves, we propose a “peace” symbol be worn on the right chest of all liberals. Separate education, religious, cultural institutions with proper controls and oversight will enable the “international liberals” to live their way of life without impacting the rest of the population. They can pursue their goals and dreams. Their hard work will set them free.

Anyhow, just a modest proposal.

Isn’t this effectively already in place. Since the international liberals all congregate in places of higher larnin’, aren’t they effectively segregated already? They probably are already ear-marked for jobs of greater intellect, too, than most god-fearin’ types since the latter can’t read at higher than a 5th grade level and the former can debate competing schools of thought without having to be “coached” as to which one will send them straight to hell….

Gandalf: I don’t think that’s her plan at all. Now, I’m not in any way endorsing her and I think she’s a complete idiot, but she’s also crazy like a fox.

She’s shown herself to be very adept at the kingmaking aspect of Republican politics, and there is no denying her appeal, especially amongst the Tea Party set.
