May 07, 2010 — A love letter to Matt Kibbe and FreedomWorks
The Real Tea Party: Ron Paul supporters in December 2007 and other inclusive Americans in 2008 who wanted to stop the bailouts. They sent tea bags to Congress to show their disagreement.
The Tea Bagger Party: Racists, homophobes, and dangerous fringe elements that FreedomWorks, Kibbe and Armey attracted to the movement in Febryaury 2009 via misinformation and inflammatory rhetoric -- essentially usurping the movement and becoming the attack dog for big business and the Republican far right. And, YES, they called themselves Tea Baggers. "Tea bag congress before they tea bag you..."
Matt Kibbe (Douche Bag in charge of FreedomWorks), the group behind the Tea Bagger Parties, publishes Hollywood voice over guy's phone number on a hate blog after he leaves a message on their voice mail asking about their mental state and press relations plans for when a tea bagger gets violent.
