The partisan nature of GOP teabagging

by: Jason Springer

Tue Apr 14, 2009 at 12:15:00 PM EDT



The other day, I wrote about the NJ GOP teabagging parties.  Today, Fred Snowflack takes apart the myth they're trying to put out that these events aren't partisan in nature:
I understand that the organizers consider this a non-partisan movement opposed to government spending. But anyone reading the national group's Website sees all sorts of pro-Republican goals. There is talk, for instance, about opposing health care reform, illegal immigration and even commentary on union elections.

Steve Lonegan is scheduled to speak in Morristown. It doesn't get more partisan than that.

So far we have members of the Assembly and Gubernatorial candidate Steve Lonegan publicly participating. According to his press release, Lonegan will be teabagging in four locations. I haven't seen whether Chris Christie or any of the GOP Congress members will be teabagging with their friends. If you find out about GOP teabagging in your neighborhood, let us know in the comments.

It seems they were stolen from the libertarians (0.00 / 0)
Stay on target (0.00 / 0)
The tea party organizers have to get their act together and not let their issue--taxes--get side-tracked by fellow travelers with other concerns.

Otherwise, it will be like the environmental rallies I've seen where a bunch of people show up and start screaming about Palestine.

Stay on target...
