Why the fuck are the Tea Baggers getting so much attention?
The Tea Bagger express is on every hour on the hour on CNN. Meanwhile in Chicago thousands of Americans are protesting the American Banker's Association.

This is fucking 1984.

1. Because their corporate masters tell the MSM's corporate masters to give them that attention.
After all, have to distract the American people from the crimes of the banksters -- and most certainly from protests of those crimes.

2. The Limbeckers are far more entertaining than the ABA
protesters. That's the bottom line. You can always count on the Limbeckers for a laugh.

3. Because hating on Obama is the new national pastime, according to the cable news networks.
They are fetishizing wingnuttery, since they have nothing better with which to fill their airtime.

4. The local teabaggers are staging an event on Halloween . . .
. . . appropriate for a freak show, no?

But regardless of when it's held, I'm sure they'll get plenty of coverage. :puke:
