The time is now for Fox News to stop pretending that the tea party protect is some type of bi-partisan affair.  That is so far from the truth.  The fact that Fox is promoting the tea party is reprehensible and scary enough; but, let’s be realistic about what’s going on.  This is a conservative base protest and has zero to do with the rest of the population.

Over at News Hound a post by Ellen puts the tea party’s protest into perspective.  You can hardly call this event bi-partisan with people carrying around signs that says (Google “tea party rally signs” and click Images):

“Obama is a Damn Liar, Biden is a Dumbass, Big Brother Needs to be Castrated”
“Liberalism is destroying America . . .”
“Hey Butt Boy . . . .”
“Revolt against socialism”
“Send Geithner to Gitmo”
“The Three Little Big Pigs: Pelosi, Reid and Obama”
“Obama is to the economy as the Three Stooges are to surgery”
“Teabag the liberal Dems before they teabag you” (Is “teabag” some sort of code word?)
“Obama sucks”
“Don’t blame me I voted for Sarah”
“O B A M A – One Big Awful Mistake America”
“O B A M A – One Big Ass Mistake America”
“Sorry Obama no teleprompter here . . . .”
“Don’t Tax Me Bro!”
“Obama Lies America Dies”
“Wanted . . . [photos of President Obama, Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid] High Treason and Fiscal Sabotage”

As if that was not bad enough it has also been noted by me and others that these tea parties are not known for their ethnicity.  I guess that’s another area where the grass root of the movement forgot to get all the grass.

And let’s take into account the mostly white crowds at the various rallies. In the mob photos, I didn’t see anything but white faces. Texas – all white; Orlando – all white; Topeka – all white (little confusion about the message there; one person held up an anti-immigration sign); Oklahoma – all white; Chicago’s Daley Plaza – all white; Santa Barbara County, California – all white (with the exception of the guy at the mic, who appears to be Fox News’ poster boy crooner in favor of the protests, Lloyd Marcus); St. Louis – all white. You get the drift.

There is nothing bi-partisan about this protest.  Considering  the position of Fox with their constant chatter of taking up arms, fascism, socialism, communism, and marxism, I can only wonder how dangerous some of these tea baggers really are; while I absorb the knowledge that the majority of these nut jobs were virtually silent while Bush was busy raping our country and throwing money around like it was penny candy.

Which leads to me wonder: where in the f*ck were these protesters during the administration of George W. Bush?

The Tea Party Protesters clearly do not represent what the majority of Americans want. They claim to speak for “the people,” but the people have already spoken. They spoke with their ballots in the 2008 presidential election.

Such is the case with Fox’s promotion of a non-bias bi-partisan tea party.  Now why am I not surprised?

But Fox does not stop there with  a few lies; they have a bunch of liars.  For example take  Megyn Kelly’s lying about what republicans will be attending the tea party’s protest.  She states that there is only two republicans attending when the real list from Think Progress is a lot longer [bold emphasis not mine]:
