I was surprised when I saw this video up at the AJ news page. It was a legitimate story on the Teabag Party and how they were going to hold a convention. The convention failed as tickets to attend were said to be priced at $500 a head. AJ also says the Teabag Party was instrumental in getting Scott Brown elected in the US senate.
As I watched the video, they had the footage of some of their signs. Painting Obama as a Adolf Hitler, misidentifying him as a socialist. For the record, National Socialism has nothing to do with Socialism, it is quite the opposite.
What I see is people who feel like they are cut off from the system rallying hysterically against strawmen and caricatures they have little understanding of. I believe it is symptomatic of the increasingly fragmented body politic in the US. People are beginning to realize that neither established party is serving their needs.
