The Tea Party, still not a fully formed effort, has become the focus of much mainstream media attention regarding the potential for violence. What this still forming group will become is not yet known, and I would certainly give little credence to any corporate coverage of this group - and not too much more for their coverage of the Democrats or Republicans.
As to the threats of violence, there are certainly those in both mainstream parties who put their often hypocritical group think ideologies above the foundation of American Law, the United States Constitution. We do have the legal right to overthrow our government, should it lose sight of its protections of individual social and economic liberties. But recall too, that the right to bear arms is the 2nd right, and speech is first.
It is still time to talk about what is going on in this Country, but, shamefully, it is also time to start talking about what the conditions are for an armed overthrow of our government. The folks being pandered to by the mainstream corporate media are not going to be those people, should it come to pass.
But yet, in the larger scheme of things, their contribution to the dialogue is about right, given the times, the facts, and the law. Not too hot, not too cold, but just right.
If you want to find out what the Tea Party is really becoming, listen to its real leaders, folks like Ron Paul and, perhaps most of all, Alex Jones. Realize also that the Corporate Media are the one's actually encouraging the violence...
Oh, and Goldy, make my Tea Black!.
