"Protests are only sensible when liberals do it, right?" Nope. Everyone should do it. It helps keep the politicians on their toes. But, there are a lot of the wingnuts who are letting their inner loon fly free. That they describe their teabagging as a grassroots effort is a perfect example. It is driven by Fox and apparently Beck is holding a $500 a plate lunch to help fund it. How many grassroots protest movements have fundraisers? Until now, the answer was 'zero'... It is just another astroturf movement.

I think this protest of conservatives is as much about the concern over the move toward fascism as it is about taxes. Actually it is about becoming and staying a minority party... Al
