Republicans are holding their convention in Hawaii, and don't realize Hawaiians are all covered by mandatory government health care and are very happy about it. IE: Hawaiians have UNIVERSAL HEALTH COVERAGE and love it and it works! Republicans, though, say Hawaiians don't know any better and aren't happy. Also, Republicans don't want to meet Obama about health care with the cameras rolling, calling it a "trap".

"Bi-partisan grassroots" (wink wink) Tea Party just happens to have the Republican VP nominee speaking at their convention and the same platform as the Republican Party and FOX "news", Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, and Glenn Beck promoting them. They're against "big government"...you can tell by some of their racist protest signs they carry, how upset they are that we're spending 2.5 BILLION a week on endless wars with no point, how they're against big government domestic spying, and how they side with the health care corporations and big oil. NOT.

Anybody inclined to laugh off the current Tea Bag Movement as just a passing fancy involving a few isolated kooks had better guess again.

Analyze what was said at the group’s recent convention where Sarah Palin regaled her audience along with the series of preceding rallies cheer led by Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh and others and a disturbing trend surfaces.

These Teabaggers hold some discomforting points in common with the Brownshirts of Germany’s pre-Third Reich period. Many from the progressive movement in Germany during that period laughed off the appearance of “a funny looking little man with a mustache” along with those “kooky guys in the Brownshirts” as one conclusion was clear to them.

Tea Bag Movement: Harbinger of Fascism?

“The GOP is, at its core, a Rich Man's Party that relies for its mass support on people who want to vote for a White Man's Party.”

Corporate media go through all manner of contortions of logic and historical gymnastics to sanitize the Tea Party phenomenon – anything to avoid calling the people grouped under the Tea Party umbrella by their proper name: White nationalists.

Tea Partyers Are White Nationalists, Pure and Simple

Special commentary by Big Dan: "There's just as many black Republican senators and house reps as there are black teabaggers - ZERO!!! The last black Republican in the House or Senate was JC Watts in 2002, and the first black teabagger doesn't exist.".
