1. I'm Totally Shocked!

Shocked I tell you! That people making 250K+ are behind the funding of this!!!!!

2. Excellent clip.

Hope this information spreads.

3. I think we all knew that Republicans don't have 'grass roots' movements-

that aren't organized and funded by billionaires. But thanks for pointing it out.

9. Sadly the average person attending the parties *doesn't* know. n/t

[Nostalgic]

4. Next time a repug complains about the liberal media

tell them about this. Like Cenk said, very few (apart from Krugman) of the news outlets are reporting on who's funding the tea parties. Neither are they questioning why people who are earning less than $250,000 a year protesting, because as Cenk said again, they will be paying less taxes under Obama.

Liberal media my ass.

5. It is the racism stupid.

(Not saying that the TYT is stupid but using a catch phrase from the past)
that is what motivates these people to work against their own interest, and support the goals of billionaires.

[pleah]

6. K&R

7. Are the uber wealthy upset about Obama's economic

recovery plan?

But of coooourse!
