Teabaggers were not against bank bail outs (TARP). They were against stimulus.

My goodness, how easily many forget.

Please go back and watch Santelli's rant which started the astroturfed T Party.

1. Teabaggers = Koch Brothers and Dick Armey.

the rest of the stoolies were just window dressing, signifying nothing.

2. You have biden saying Tparty was against TARP.

That is a distortion.

6. Very first rumblings were against TARP. Some RW GOPs wouldn't even vote for Bush's 1st bailout

because of those rumblings, but, GOP leadership made sure Bush had enough GOPs voting for it to assure passage.

4. Army and Koch exploited the situation and brought the Tea Party

into Republican Party.

Very early the organic groups hit the streets over
TARP and were very anti - nafta. They seemed
to believe something terrible wrong and they were
being screwed.

Fox after a short time took interest and the Tea Party
was on their own for a short while.

It appeared that with Fox showing interest and giving
them air time, this opened them up to takeover by Armey
and GOP.

It was at this point the Republicans conviced them to
change demands to Limited Government and CUT CUT CUT.

Biden is correct about the Initial Tea Party.

3. Weren't the Teabaggers just against Obama? The rest is excuses.

5. There were some groups of Tea Parties which were hostile toward

Obama. They used to chant> The Banks got bailed out.
WHERE IS OUR BAIL OUT.

7. The few teabaggers left on the streets are freaking out. OWS has stolen their thunder. n/t
