Wing nuts, if you contrast the unions with the tea party, at least get it right.

I heard the jackass known as Rush Limbaugh today pointing out that the tea party never occupied a capitol building, disrupting government business. Please excuse me while I point out to any lurking freepers the main differences between the WI protesters and the Tea Party.


WI protesters = people actually fighting against government taking away their rights

Tea Party = people claiming to be fighting for rights they never lost in the first place

WI protesters = actual grassroots effort to preserve the freedom to collectively bargain

Tea Party = corporate funded astroturf movement to enable the destruction of bargaining freedom



I realize we here at DU understand this, but the freepers need to see it, even if they choose to reject it.

1. If Rush is talking about it on his show, trying to talk crap about the protesters - I take that as a

very positive sign! Rushbo is worried.

2. I'm hoping every republican and/or tea party politician in WI is

either going to be voted out or recalled. What they did to pass the collective bargaining part of that bill is was simply disgusting.

3. Sure thing Rush, repugs would never disrupt government business.

How much you want to bet every one of these dirtbags are running a teabag group now?
