Matt Taibbi: "It pains me to say this as an American, but we are the only people on earth dumb enough to use a nationwide campaign of “teabag parties” as a form of mass protest, in the middle of a real economic crisis. What’s next? The Great Dirty Sanchez-In of 2010? A Million Man Felch? (Insert Rusty Trombone joke here)."Matt Taibbi: The peasant mentality lives on in America
Paul Krugman: "The tea parties are at least in-part "AstroTurf," or a fake grassroots movement, manufactured by "right-wing billionaires. In particular, a key role is being played by FreedomWorks, an organization run by Richard Armey, the former House majority leader, and supported by the usual group of right-wing billionaires. And the parties are, of course, being promoted heavily by Fox News."Paul Krugman: Tea Parties Forever

Then the powers-that-be will be able to continue pickpocketing us for years to come.
