Who's Scared of the Tea Party?

John McCain took a swipe at the Tea Party on the Senate floor yesterday. Reading from a Wall Street Journal editorial, he denounced those opposed to raising the debt ceiling in the House as "hobbits."
The great thing about social media is that they allow a very small number of people to create a potentially very large movement: those overlapping social circles give even just one or two people a surprising amount of leverage. http://www.zdnet.com/movie-review-astroturf-wars-4010021679/

It is unconscionable that William F Buckley’s publication would endeavor so aggressively to legitimize and attempt to rehabilitate the reputation of this conservative-hating organ ironically called “Conservative Victory Project”.
This weekend, House Republican leader John Boehner played out the role of Jude Wanniski on NBC's "Meet The Press." Odds are you've never heard of Jude, but without him Reagan never would have become a "successful" president, Republicans never would have taken control of the House or Senate, Bill Clinton never would have been impeached, and neither George Bush would have been president. When Barry Goldwater went down to ignominious defeat in 1964, most Republicans felt doomed (among them the then-28-year-old Wanniski).

Contrary to Currier's depiction, few of the men dumping the tea were actually disguised as Indians. [ 1 ] The Boston Tea Party (referred to in its time simply as "the destruction of the tea" or by other informal names and so named until half a century later, [ 2 ] ) was a political protest by the Sons of Liberty in Boston , a city in the British colony of Massachusetts , against the tax policy of the British government and the East India Company that controlled all the tea imported into the colonies.
