Praise be to Beck!!Spare everyone the pompous pedantry, Charvakan---the post is factual. "Teapartytracker.org will be sponsored by the NAACP, Think Progress, New Left Media and Media Matters for America. Think Progress is a George Soros operation connected to John Podesta’s Center for American Progress. Podesta is Clinton’s former chief of staff. Media Matters for America is the brainchild of a MoveOn consultant and Podesta’s Center for American Progress. Soros is a major supporter of MoveOn."The Tea Party has no platform and can't agree on much of anything. It's an understandable if misguided reaction to the political shenanigans of both parties. It will be used by the Republicans to the extent they can, and after their fling with independence it will become a part of the Republican machine, like the right to life movement or the gun enthusiasts. It can't last as a separate entity because it doesn't stand for anything. Its heroes are phonies and demagogues like Beck and Palin who are making millions off the suckers who idolize them.On the other hand, they are American citizens---perfectly entitled to express their beliefs in public and be treated with tolerance and respect by fellow citizens---especially liberals. Unfortunately, those on the left---who call themselves liberals---always seem to have the most acutely honed instincts for political bigotry and intolerance. Beck and Palin are citizens as well, but not the "heroes" of the Tea Party movement. That honor is reserved for the Founding Fathers, Constitution, God (for some), the concepts of free speech, freedom of the press, free enterprise, and freedom of worship. That compares nicely to the "heroes" of the left---Karl Marx, Chairman Mao---and Obama's philosophical and financial "God Father"---George Soros.
