tom:
you say: "it [the Tea Party movement] is not as big as the media would
like to make it out to be."
hell, tom, the Tea Party movement is a creation of the corporate media,
which took tiny protests at public hearings last year and magnified them
as if it were a big-time movement, which it has become BECAUSE of all
the coverage. There were (and are) much bigger protests by labour,
immigrants, and sundry others which never see the light on day on the
corporate media. It exemplifies the basic lesson, only in reverse,
derived by the ruling class from the turmoil of protest of the 1960s --
don't amplify dissent. This time they are amplifying the kind of
dissent they want to hear -- government can do no good for the public
interest.
