I find that observation somewhat naive. If you don't think that Soro's and big union money is involved..... I don't know what to do about that, you obviously have a very narrow world view on this. As for the "media capital" that The Koch brothers bought, I guess they didn't do nearly as well as this movement is doing:
And the difference in coverage is pretty staggering. The MSM was constantly labeling the Tea Party as racist, from the very beginning, and questioning their grass roots origins, meanwhile I would challenge you to find any kind of hard questions being asked by those networks regarding this movement, or the big labor money involved. Remember CNN reporter Susan Roesgen shouting at the tea party guy carrying his toddler on his hip, about state aid from the feds, then cutting off the broadcast by saying "this is not family viewing"? The Koch Brothers didn't get much bang for their buck, compared to these guys IMO.
And BFTK, I was simply responding to Blackmonsters' implication that I post about politics too much. It cracks me up that people call me on that, when you post about 5 political posts every single day, and not a peep!
