Really?

That's going to come as a shock to my friend that was nearly killed driving up from PA in an ice storm so we could see Rand Paul and others speak in Boston in '07 on the anniversary of the TEA PARTY.

And I nearly got heat stroke at the Freedom March in July of '08 in D.C. I'm glad you were there and know what it was all about so you can tell me that it didn't happen.

What do you think Rick Santelli was ranting about on CNBC? Do you think he pulled the phrase "tea party" out of thin air?

No. He was talking about reenactments taking place all over the country raising money for Ron Paul and protesting the Bush administration. Those rallys raised over $6 million in one day. A record setting amount. Www.teaparty07.com

outstanding PE--I can only speak for me,but 3 girls & 2 boys later,all in thier 20's,30's & one just 40--they all learned gun safety at about 8 yrs old,they could all cluster a bulls eye at 50 yds by the time they were 9--they all were familiar w/ the Constitution--Memorial Day,Veterans Day & the 4th of July--they were taught all these things at home---they are not all in agreement w/ what goes on in Iran,Iraq & Afghanistan--but they are damn sure in agreement W/ supporting our troops--most of them voted for BO because of his CHANGE platform--but as of yesterday are all dissapointed with the fact that they did so.Our oldest girl turned me onto the name of Allen West--I Googled him & was pretty impressed.

No it isn't. I was there in July of 08 also. This started way back during the campaign, the media just failed to report it believing if you ignore it it would go away. So... I wonder how that is working out for them. Tea Party membership grows with leaps and bounds and more mainstream media outlets are cutting staff or closing down completely. Interesting, don't you think? Lisa

You definition of what constitutes a "Tea Party" might have started on 1/20/09 because people were protesting a popular president vs. an unpopular one. I know for damn sure Faux News wasn't there.

The Tea Parties are named "tea parties" due to Ron Paul's fund raiser on the anniversary of the original event. You can choose to believe that or not. I was there, you were not.

I must be pretty friggin dumb,I thought the concept of TEA PARTY happened in Boston Harbor in the 1700's when people got fed up w/over taxation & the like---I guess I need to get off the farm more often and see what's going on in the real world or could this be the continuation of an age old problem that started due to a need for it to start---you know,everything doesn't need a name & a date---people just need to get off thier asses & help change things that ain't right I believe that should start in Nov. 2010

i stopped caring when the tea party started.

it has really been going on since 1773 so fred is right and jpete is wrong

jpete,

here chew on this for awhile ... looks like a tea party before your messiah ron paul was ever part of one

American activists from a variety of political viewpoints have invoked the Tea Party as a symbol of protest. In 1973, on the 200th anniversary of the Tea Party, a mass meeting at Faneuil Hall called for the impeachment of President Richard Nixon and protested oil companies in the ongoing oil crisis. Afterwards, protesters boarded a replica ship in Boston Harbor, hanged Nixon in effigy, and dumped several empty oil drums into the harbor.[66] In 1998, two conservative US Congressmen put the federal tax code into a chest marked "tea" and dumped it into the harbor.[67]

look in the influence section

So Rick Santelli in his famous rant on the Chicago exchange floor was talking about a protest against Richard Nixon 30 years prior?

A) It wasn't a one day event.

B) It was specifically called and held on the anniversary of the Tea Party.

C) You were there then and now to know the difference between the two?

I've been to them. I've listened to the speeches. I've done the leg work. There may be more people attending them, but I assure you, the spirit and sentiment of the one in 2007 is exactly the same as any you are likely to attend today.

If it's really important that you feel like you're right, then I'll let it go. But why not just give a little credit where it's due and move on?

No, what would answer my question is to point to all the ones between 1774 and 2007. So far, he's come up with 2. And one was targeting one guy in particular and the other seems to have been attended by 2 people.

If it's important to you that you be right, then fine. You're right. The Tea Parties started because there was a mass uprising of Klan members coming out of the wood work after 1/20/2009 that some how couldn't be bothered to vote for the white guy.

Feel better to paint everyone with a roller?

okay i guess i should of stopped before when i said i didnt care. Looks like you are right ... ron paul formed and started the tea party and the current tea party movement we know and love today. God bless him for being a true patriot
