Michelle Malkin, Newt Gingrich, Dana Loesch, GOPUSA, American Solutions, and Americans for Tax Reform have all come together to endorse the Nationwide Tax Day Tea Party.

Read about the Atlanta Tax Day Tea Party on Sean Hannity’s FOXNews blog at http://hannity.blogs.foxnews.com/2009/03/27/special-anno ...

3. I think we SHOULD publicize these jokes, aka "tea parties"....

I'd love to see one sometime. So many f*cking idiots in one spot at one time....well, maybe not "so many"...but just the same.....let's get the word out. Just what do these idiots want that we should do?.....after eight years of being raped by the past administration's halliburton ties and the oil corps; the deregulation that began with their god, ronnie alzheimer; the run-wild financial white collar criminals playing shell games with our economy; the "go out and buy" mentality in this ass back wards country of get as many credit cards maxed out as you can.....

Gosh, I wonder what finally shook them awake?? Could it be a black Democratic president and a Democratic Congress?? They have finally fallen off their stool and now they're not going to take it anymore? F*cking idiots!! We are #1 ...a nation of morons.

7. Please go easy on the Alzheimer's cracks.

Alzheimer's is an ugly disease. I find it wholly inappropriate to use it as a means of making fun of someone **for any reason**. There are plenty of other things to make fun of Reagan for. Please think before posting something as baseless and classless as "ronnie alzheimer," and if that's the best you can come up with, maybe you don't need to post it at all.

Alzheimer's was not his fault, he probably never knew he had it... or maybe he knew at some point, but lost it along the way. I've lost a few family members to Alzheimer's, and I can tell you with a high level of certainty that there is NOTHING funny about it.

14. Well, we have a US Senator - Vitter (In Diapers - LA) calling for a "National Tea Party Day"...

The tax day tea party movement is gaining steam, as TV celebrities and political figures try to glom onto what might be a burgeoning populist groundswell. Neil Cavuto and Sean Hannity of Fox News will join events in Sacramento and Atlanta. Newt Gingrich will be in New York. And on Friday Sen. David Vitter (R-La.) proposed to make a law honoring April 15 as National Tea Party Day.

Vitter's got a Web page that says "millions" of Americans will join protests "to register their displeasure with our government's addiction to wasteful spending, bailouts for big business, and higher taxes."

Before they register that displeasure, Vitter wants them to register as Citizen Co-Sponsors of his effort to "force the Senate to recognize this day as a formal protest by the people against these policies."

An organizer of the tax day protest outside the Treasury Department in Washington, D.C. told the Huffington Post that several Republican politicians -- it now seems Vitter might have been one of them -- had asked to speak at the event, only to be rebuffed because, as the organizer puts it, "We're not a function of the Republican party."

There are plenty of other entrenched groups and politicos promoting these "uncooridated" tea parties. Some are identified in the OP. Anyway, the irony of a major cable network activily promoting the "movement" while also claiming they are uncoordinated is astounding.

6. Was Glenn Beck Teabagged on Cavuto's Show??

That's a Cavuto!

8. There's a basic difference, the previous spending was on pointless death.The new spending is on life

and well being and in the end prosperity, of course they would oppose those things, which defines who they are.

11. well put. nt

[JDPriestly]

12. New York is not reality! Agreed, but where do Cavuto and Beck live?

Beck is completely out of touch with reality and on the verge of going over the edge. He is not psychologically healthy. He acts like a manic/depressive on the brink. That's why he is so emotional. I don't think that is an act. He really has a problem. Poor guy.

How did you like the way he dug at Cavuto by talking about his ratings were going up? That's hilarious. He was one-upping poor Cavuto.

13. I want to say something, but I need to hear from my local ACORN organizer before

I can tell you what I think!

15. This Glenn Beck quote is a keeper

"No one knows, outside of Fox, what is going on in the rest of the country". You said it champ.
