The irony is that Ron Paul is now facing tea bagger primary opposition. (link) |
Well it's nice to see someone point out what this movement started as. It's unfortunate that it has become hijacked by the likes of beck, hannity, palin and the gop.
I enjoyed the tea party movement when it first began, but now it's just become the perverted talking points of the right wing heads.
