If Liz were Queen

QUEEN’S COMMENTS: As usual, one of my favorite bloggers, The Rude Pundit, summed up the Tea Baggers and the “Tea Parties” quite perfectly.

The Tea Parties: So That Happened:
Yesterday, thousands of poor and middle-class people were manipulated into helping rich people keep more of their money. It’s sort of like going to a Yankees game, but without the souvenirs.

.  .  .  Would that many of the people holding up signs yesterday had respected our antiwar marches back in 2003 and 2004, but, hey, water under a bridge built of bones, you know.

What is stunning is that yesterday’s Tea Party protests were based on a demonstrable, factual lie. It wasn’t about interpreting something or opinions. No, what people were protesting was actually a falsehood. They were played for suckers while they thought they were saving democracy. It was a bait and switch, man, a con game that was more dishonest than sidewalk three-card monte.  .  .  ”
