I am not overly suspicious, but I would make a nice bet that

the same folks who created the Tea Party have just created the 53 percenters...

Looking at those "handprinted" letters reminded me of the Tea Party signs. Funny how they just came out of nowhere...

I think we can expect that some of our less than worthy media "commentators" will be effusing about the "pushback from ordinary people" against the Occupy protesters on Facebook and other social media...

just sayin'...:eyes:

1. There is scuttlebutt that was sort of mentioned on the

early morning shows that the Koch brothers may be behind them.

2. My sentiments exactly. They are just more astroturf.

3. Dick Armey and his army of privileged bullies marching in lockstep for their corporate masters...

Corporations are the new royalty...Don't Tread on Me was anti-imperialism and AGAINST royal governance that aligned itself with its favorite corporation (East India Trading Co.) Those dumbasses are so stupid they call themselves patriots while acting as royalists.

The real patriots are OWS and all who oppose our government acting only in favor of international corporations over the interests of its citizens.

4. You BACK????

You certainly may be right.

I think original t-baggers + OWS have a LOT in common, and with 'luck' will recognize this and grow the ongoing protests. ALSO, have you seen THIS?

7. Yes, Ma'am, I'm back!

I'll have to PM you eventually with all the details...wonderful trip, tho...

I have to say that I don't believe there were any real original tea baggers. I think the Tea Party thing was made from whole cloth by the Kochs and Dick Armey. But, as I said, I may be getting overly suspicious...

And, yes, I just LOVED the protesters in Spain! That video reminded me of the Italians singing "Va pensiero" in homage to Verdi and their country...

And the White House Plumbers.
This is their legacy.

9. Yup. Thanks for connecting THOSE dots!

This is getting old, folks...

8. It was frikking Eric Erickson and his nasty RedState blog

He's got a bunch of wingnutty followers on the interwebs plus that nice megaphone platform on CNN.
