More For The Tea Party

The “Tea Party” is funded by the same old backroom thugs who brought you much of the scientific racial and uber-conservative movement.

The “tea party” anti-tax movement is not as spontaneous as its organizers would like you to think. Chris Good writes in The Atlantic, “Here is the organizational landscape of the April 15 tea party movement, in a nutshell: three national-level conservative groups, all with slightly different agendas, are guiding it. All are quick to tell you that the movement is a bottom-up affair and that its grassroots cred is real. They are: FreedomWorks, the conservative action group led by Dick Armey; dontGO, a tech savvy free-market action group that sprung out of last August’s oil-drilling debate in the House of Representatives; and Americans for Prosperity, an issue advocacy/activist group based on free market principles.

The principal funder of Americans for Prosperity is one of the Koch Foundations.  Who fund a number of the Anti Civil Rights organizations such as the Federalist Society, the misnomered Institute for Justice – and along with the Bradley, Scaife and Olin Foundations funds much of the conservative, as well as racist “Foundations” and “Think Tanks” in the country – including folks like Jared Taylor’s New Century Foundation which funds the racist screed American Renaissance so favored by conservative authors, and the Civil Rights Institute, and organization dedicated to school re segregation by another name.

Racism in America is a fully funded exercise, with something on the order of $40 to $100 million a year being spent to keep the pot boiling.
