Tea Party 'Is Dead,' Says Movement Leader

The Daily Beast:

There is no Tea Party, there never was a Tea Party, and it appears that there will never be a Tea Party. All those yahoos will have to go back to racing their Hover Rounds and burping their Slim Jim breath all over each other.

No, just like they got co-opted by the likes of Palin and O'donell, they're going to get co-opted by OWS

To borrow from my good friend Willie: "Turn out the lights, the [tea] party's over!!!" At least most of us would wish that. But these idiots could be vampires so we must stay vigilant and drive a stake through the heart of this thing.

The tea party are seen as traitors and terrorists ... they are even more hated than the McCarthy people ... which I predicted as soon as they started the tea party 3 weeks after O was elected... screaming that they were against his policies when he had not even taken office... no one was fooled by the bigot brigade... we all know exactly why it was started.

The tea party was like an episode of Killer Clowns from Outer Space....those people really brought out the worst in each other. I think Zombie movies have had their resurgence from this kind of mindless anger ....the angry mob...
