To Get to Bottom of Tea Party Rebellion, The New York Times Goes to Spokane
Categories: Politics
As David Barstow's excellent write-up of Tea Partiers in Eastern Washington and beyond points out, "the Tea Party movement defies easy definition, largely because there is no single Tea Party."
How long 'til this woman figures out she's aligned herself with a bunch of militias?
Barstow may be right that the sum of the Tea Party movement isn't easily categorized. But certain parts sure seem familiar:
One local group represented at Liberty Lake was Arm in Arm, which aims to organize neighborhoods for possible civil strife by stockpiling food and survival gear, and forming armed neighborhood groups.Liberty Lake is east of Spokane, about an hour's drive outside of Ruby Ridge, Idaho. As if you needed any more convincing that this anti-tax, anti-Obama, "death to tyranny" rhetoric is headed somewhere very bad, very quickly.
