That's crap, you've just put your own spin on this. It's not even about the Tea Party. Throughout all of this I haven't caught Stewart talking about the Tea Party and his rally in the same breath. He has used the more ridiculous aspects of the Tea Party for comedic purposes, namely the witchcraft aspects and anti-masturbation sentiment, but that's what he does to everyone, (and it was just focused on one person.) The more he focuses on them is only reletive to the amount of material that they themselves provide for him to use. And for fuck's sake man, the crowd I mentioned in my previous post have existed since way before the Tea Party stuff. I haven't even been talking about the Tea Party people, (hang on I'll just check my previous posts on this thread... nope, not one mention.) I don't see how my perception of that group can be 'wayyyy off' if I haven't been talking about it. It suggest that your perception of people with a perception on the Tea Party group is 'wayyyy off' - I hope this isn't getting too confusing.
Your bringing up of the Tea Party thing brings to my mind Occam's Razor; "'the simplest solution is most probably the correct one". Where I see this rally and see a group of people getting together to protest the ridiculous aspects of society in a humorous way, (which is what it is on face value,) you see this rally and see a group of people with a biased political agenda getting together to protest a specific political group. It borders on conspiracy theory mate. Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.
And on that note, since I percieve this rally as nothing more than a group of people getting together to protest the ridiculous aspects of society in a humorous way it means that it has in no way influenced me politically, it can't. Maybe the left wing media and deviants at The Daily Show haven't done their job as well as you suggest.
The planned duo protest is in response to the teaparty protest held on MLK day faciliated by Glenn Beck. Click some op links and read. Connect the dots. Every thing you've described above fits a stereotype of a leftist media portayed 'teaparty person' (or 'teabagger' if you're Obama). I would be interested in learining your opinion on the teaparty group and how you formed it -if you'd indulge.....
Eurofolk really don't understand US politics, let alone the small jabs played out by hollywood entertainers. Stay on the surface. Yes, a cigar may be a cigar, but few can tell a good one from a bad.
