The Koch brothers have a 'pawn' in the middle class teabaggers.

[applegrove]

Wow. And they want their tax cuts to continue obviously. So they can continue to influence the country and turn the great american middle class into a bunch of lap dogs for rich libertarians. Learned helplessness is what the teabaggers are learning. They are learning not to think for themselves. They are learning how to become dependant on pundits for their ideas and realities. They will be dependant on the koch brothers for all their emotions. The koch brothers will own them. And they will attract other users to them because they are such a shell of themselves. How will America be a great country with a poorer middle class that cannot think for itself? How? America will be battered by all the control and manipulation. America will be weak. It will then be the end of the empire which is too bad cause we outside the USA in the West kinda count on you.

1. The shit will really hit the fan...

...when the teabaggers realize how much they have been duped and used to enrich these
greedy weasels--who laugh their asses off at the teabaggers.

Have you ever talked with a teabagger? I have and it's frightening as hell. I actually had
a teabagger tell me that the banks needed LESS regulation, and he argued until he practically
cried. This was right after the housing collapse. If Glenn Beck says it, well then it must
be right!! The neocon elitist scumbags who are destroying our democracy--give the right wing
radio blowhards their talking points.

All Glenn Beck, Limbaugh and Hannity have to do is spew the nonsense, and the teabaggers will
argue the points. Even if they're arguing against their own self interests!!!!

Beck has these lemmings going cajones to the wall for continuing the tax breaks for those in the top
two percent. How many tea baggers are in the top two percent???? But they'll argue that this
country will be destroyed (destroyed I tell you!!!!) unless those yacht owners get more tax breaks.

It is ASTOUNDING!!!! And I tell you--when the Republicans gain power--and these teabaggers watch
those in power ignoring the teabagger agenda---the shineola hits the fan, because these dupes have
been led down a path of rainbows and unicorns that doesn't even exist.

Both parties are in cahoots with the neocons and the corporations. Progressives are figuring it out
and trying to stop it. These teabagger conservatives haven't got a clue, and when they're gob-smacked
with the reality of it all--they'll be the first to be declared "enemy combatants."

Sometimes I feel sorry for them. For about two seconds.

2. Yes I have to feel sorry for them too. I was there once. At one time in my life I was

controlled by a friend. Because I was such a shell it attracted an even worse user. Messed up my life. So I can't not feel sorry for the know nothings who are being used. It isn't funny at all. The teabaggers are being passed around like a doll from one user to another evey day all the while they robotically spew hated. It is so sad.

3. They will never realize it.

You're talking about empty-headed followers. When the fallout comes (again), they'll line up to listen to the next opportunistic megalomaniac who's willing to do all their thinking for them if they just do as he says. They'd do that if they were living in a cardboard box under a freeway overpass. It's how they're wired, and there's no changing them. You can't reason them out of it, and they sure as hell won't ever figure it out for themselves.

9. Exactly.

13. Oh they can learn again. At least some of them can. I know I was somebody's ninny in high school.

When I finally figured it out at 25 it felt wonderful to reconnect to the child I was right before the control started. I went through a renaissance of thinking for myself and going through things emotionally and living my life for myself. So there is hope for some of the teabaggers/wingnuts. And after the shock of realizing they've been used it will fell great to grow again.

Right now the Koch brothers have their 'base' growing down. But it will not be forever.

4. Seriously. If tax breaks 4 the rich are that miraculous...

... why did such a bad recession kick in after giving them one of the biggest breaks in history?

10. I don't think that the tea baggers will ever be able to realize

that they have been duped. nt

[immoderate]

11. They will always blame their misfortunes on us.

12. Yes, that is a basic symptom of their disorder. It gives them two

things that they require, (1) keeps them from looking at their own deficiencies and (2) gives them a ready target for their hatred (which may actually be a transposal of their self loathing).

5. Pawns to be pwned. n/t

6. I dunno about "middle class"

I have encountered three large organized groups of teabaggers, two in California and one in Arizona and I wouldn't describe them as middle class so much as the working poor and retired poor. They were a pretty sad looking bunch. The bottom line is a huge proportion of American society chooses to put hate first in their lives and the Republican media machine knows exactly how the channel it.

When you live to hate, there isn't much you can do for someone.

7. Rich people pay Faux people to trick middle-class people into blaming poor people

John Fugelsang said it a few months ago, and it's 100% true.


Also remember, every dollar the rich get in tax cuts is another dollar they can "invest" in a congressman or a lobbyist. It wouldn't surprise me at all if they had an agreement, overt or otherwise... "Hey, you give me a tax cut, I'll re-direct 10% of it to you and your campaign".

8. Seems to me that the Tea Party is the pawn to the Kochs' objectives.
