Matt Taibbi: Tea & Crackers: How corporate interests and Republican insiders built the Tea Party monster:

I'm finally getting my Tea Party epiphany exactly where you'd expect: at a Sarah Palin rally. The red-hot mama of American exceptionalism has flown in to speak at something called the National Quartet Convention in Louisville, a gospel-music hoedown in a giant convention center filled with thousands of elderly white Southerners.

NAACP Report Ties Tea Party to Militia and Racist Groups

Less than two weeks before the midterms elections, the NAACP has published a new report that exposes what it calls links between various Tea Party organizations and racist hate groups in the United States. The report, 'Tea Party Nationalism,' analyzes each of the six most active Tea Party organizations in the country and describes links between Tea Party factions and various white supremacist groups, anti-immigrant organizations and militias. We speak with Benjamin Todd Jealous, the president and CEO of the NAACP; and one of the authors of the report, Leonard Zeskind, the president of the Institute for Research and Education on Human Rights.

Tea Party more diverse than Dems

The media have constantly beat the 'tea party is white" drum, so it's no surprise that they completely failed to talk about the wide ranging, diverse backgrounds of victorious Tea Party candidates. Glenn has details on radio today. Ref. Source 8

TIME person of the year: Glenn Beck?

A pretty amazing acknowledgement, BUT just like Time completely ignored the Tea Party in 2009 for their 'Year in Pictures' piece, they've been ignored again this time around. Who does Time give credit to for America's massive rightward move? "The Unemployed American" who they claim went to the polls because of the Obama administration's attempts at economic recovery. Uhhhh, 6 out of 10 voters were TEA PARTY members! Ref. Source 6

Socialists to tea party: we'll crack open your heads

Yes, those are American socialists and they are calling for revolution here in America. Glenn plays the disturbing audio of radical leftists who want to 'fight' Tea Party members, saying if they fail to open their minds, they'll just open their heads. Ref. Source 3

Obama says race 'key component' with Tea Party

In a very candid interview, President Obama said that 'race is still an issue' for him and that a 'key component' of the Tea Party is racism. That's quite a claim considering there's no evidence of racism - the best argument supporting that theory is 'President Obama is African American. Tea Parties oppose the President's policies. Therefore Tea Parties are racist. Ref. Source 2
