Tea Party’s misplaced rage ??

Yeah. That was the short headline in a paper today for a very brief thing they got from The Washington Post.  Which I now may assume is a liberal paper. Right?
But wait ... George Will writes for that paper as well and he sure as heck is not a libtard. No way.

Would like to get some feedback and see what BMEWS makes of this statement.

Tea Party’s Misplaced Rage

As battle cries go, the Tea Party’s “Take our country back” is a pretty good one.  It’s short and punchy and it addresses a very widespread sense that the nation that American’s once lived in has changed – and not for the better. 
When the Tea Players get around to identifying how America has changed and to whose benefit, however, they get it almost all wrong.

(Harold Meyerson, Washington Post)

I have no idea if that was part of a larger quote as going to the post got me nowhere.  And there isn’t any link to the above that I could find.But no matter. I copied it word for word.
Thing that bothers me is, he does not as you can see here, tell us what exactly the party gets almost all wrong.  That’d help understanding him better if that were stated.  Or maybe it was in the original. Naturally enough, many will read this kind of thing over here, and make the assumption that the Tea Party is some sort of unified political party with a central command and one speaker for all of it. Might be better if it were but so far it doesn’t seem to be doing too badly.

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
