Tea Party ‘founder’: Palin, Gingrich a ‘joke’

A financial blogger and ex-CEO credited with being one of the original "founders" of the Tea Party has come out against the movement, saying it has been hijacked by the very people it was protesting and is now obsessed with "guns, gays and God."

In a "message" to the Tea Party Wednesday, Karl Denninger declared that he "ought to sue" anyone who uses the Tea Party name "for defamation."

"Yeah, that's a joke," he writes. "But so are you. All of you. Especially Sarah Palin, Newt Gingrich, Bob Barr, and douchebag groups such as the 'Tea Party Patriots.'"

Denninger writes: "Tea Party my ass. This was nothing other than the Republican Party stealing the anger of a population that was fed up with the Republican Party's own theft of their tax money at gunpoint to bail out the robbers of Wall Street and fraudulently redirecting it back toward electing the very people who stole all the ****ing money!"

Denninger runs Market Ticker, a financially-focused blog that has been strongly opposed to bank bailouts and has railed against excessive government spending. He founded the group FedUpUSA in early 2008, shortly after the collapse of investment bank Bear Stearns.

In January of 2009, Market Ticker bloggers including Graham Makohoniuk and Stephanie Jasky suggested "mailing a tea bag" to Congress to protest the planned $800-billion stimulus package and $700-billion bank bailout. Denninger followed that up with a call for a "tea party" protest to coincide with President Obama's inauguration, thus helping to unofficially launch the political movement.

“I saw everybody fawning over Obama with the inauguration and yet here he was appointing people like Larry Summer[s] and Tim Geithner to his team who were all part of creating the problem,â€

He is correct

The tea party is being hijacked by rinos and neocons

Newt, Palin and the others including some bigwig tea party people support a path to citizenship for illegals.

Once again , I urge people to vote the "person" not the party

The race for gov in Colorado is the perfect example

Gingrich IS a ‘joke’ he is one of the biggest NEO-CON RINO's out there .. the same BULLSHIT aint going to cut it

I totally agree.

It is a shame the GOP has been able to fool so many people by acting like the Tea Party is all about them, when actually, the Tea Party was formed BECAUSE of them.

The fact is, it became so hard to tell the difference between the GOP and the Democrats, that the Tea Party was formed in protest, because neither party was standing up for the people.

Now it looks like the GOP has taken over the Tea Party, and/or has greatly diluted it's protest voice.

So what we have gotten out of the 'Tea Party's voice,' is Gingrich and other RINOs as possible presidential candidates? No way! I will vote third party before I will vote for a RINO again.

I believe the GOP is and wants to use the Tea Party however the GOP will find themselves in same condition as current Dem's if they refuse to honor request of the Tea Party. The bar simply put must be moved to the right if America is to survive otherwise freedom as we have known it is gone.
