Sept. 12BARABOO  U.S. Rep. Gwen Moore held a thermos and figuratively poured what she called lies  proposed tax cuts, efforts to repeal health care reform, the "need to take back our country"  into a glass of "poison tea" decorated with a skull.

"Don't drink the tea, people," the Democrat from Milwaukee told the crowd Saturday at the ninth annual Fighting Bob Fest. "Remember the Kool-Aid (from the Jonestown massacre in 1978)? This tea is just as lethal."

Moore's speech echoed the sentiments of many who came to the Sauk County Fairgrounds for a gathering of progressives. The event also served as a rally against the tea party movement that gained momentum this year around the country.

The festival, named after Robert "Fighting Bob" La Follette, the late firebrand Wisconsin governor and U.S. senator, is sponsored by The Capital Times and FightingBob.com.
