From the Daily Paul, a blast from the past:

“Email this Dolt Matt Taibbi and tell him what for matt.taibbi@rollingstone.com

This guy is making a living by marginalizing our movement and claiming every one of us are racists. Hes completely misinformed and some establishment shill. He completely dogs Rand Paul in one column and in his latest he claims the tea party is full of hypocrites. (I dont consider myself “tea party” but every one of us on this forum was around during the tea party fund raising record) and he hates and demonizes the movement that spawned as a result. I am sick of this clown. Feel free to give him what for or if you’re so inclined (I cant see why) give him praise. I cant stand his columns myself and want as much email headed his way as possible to hopefully educate and perhaps shut him up.”

Comment:

Yep.  There speaks authentic history. The Tea-Party, of course, began much much before 2010. In 2007. And the MSM did its best to quash it until by 2008 things boiled over with the bail-outs.  Matt was on the case by then. His buddies followed. By 2009, the story was wrested from the Tea-Party which was painted as a Koch-snorting bunch of middle-class racists. Rolling Stone’s circulation shot up. The MSM were once again “truth-tellers” and the lefty activists, instead of having to listen to economics from what they considered their inferiors, got back their more familiar role of mandarins for the yokels.

Yawn. All attempts to change this history must be relegated to the dustbin of history along with the flat earth society and the platypus.
