The Tea Party is moving these days in Tennessee its first national congress. Overview of the first year of a political phenomenon that channels discontent anti-government part of the electorate.
According to a report in the excellent NYTimes, Palin has a media presence, including 1.3 million fans on Facebook, her blessing is sought for a particular candidate from the right, is paid to speak to large audiences. According to journalist Mark Leibovich:
“Palin represents a new breed of public officials elected not operating in a context where politics, media and celebrity status are merging as never before. What is one days or not a candidate for anything, Palin has already built a status which is an end in itself: it has a forum (it is Fox News), a staff who guide, income important and none of the constraints inherent in the fact of governing or leading a campaign.”
If it was necessary to identify when the Tea Party movement has really taken off, she should go back to the morning of February 19, 2009, the day Rick Santelli, a journalist with the financial channel CNBC, was launched into a diatribe became famous cons Decision of Barack Obama to release 75 billion dollars to help indebted homeowners to avoid seizure of their homes.
“The government encourages irresponsible behavior,” was indignant Santelli live from the Chicago Stock Exchange. “I have an idea. We know that the White House is keen on new technologies. So, Mr. President, why do not you run a referendum on the internet to see if people really want to subsidize loans to losers?”
Santelli and to chain by offering to take to Chicago a “Tea Party”, a protest against the government and taxes. The video output of a journalist would find success on the internet beef, encouraged Americans to hold “tea parties” and to inspire a populist movement that takes since Thursday its first national convention in Nashville, Tennessee. The event, attended by over 600 people, will end tonight with a speech by Sarah Palin, one of the most popular” tea partiers.
Over their protests, activists of the movement Tea Party have added to their list of government programs that Obama raise their anger. They are also opposed to the economic stimulus plan of 787 billion dollars to bailout the banking and automotive and reform the health system, among other policies deemed “socialist”.
The militants have also begun to feel their influence in selecting Republican candidates to local and national elections. But they are still far from having a vision and a common organization, as evidenced by the controversy that preceded the opening of Congress in Nashville, where the registration fee was $ 549 per person. The headliners and Republican activists have refused to attend, organizers suspected of wanting to get rich.
Sarah Palin has also had to defend her decision to go to Nashville, where she would receive $100,000 for her speech.
“Each person who will attend the event is a soldier for the cause,” she wrote this week in USA Today. “Some of them have traveled hundreds of miles by car to get to Nashville. I made a commitment to be there and I will respect.”
The Tea Party movement must also combat the negative image that gives it some of its activists and even some of its headliners, whose opinion against the president tends toward intolerance. The former Republican congressman from Colorado, Tom Tancredo, has provided an example of the problem Thursday night, opening the conference in Nashville with a speech to xenophobic and racist.
“People who could not even spell the word” vote “or the words in English have brought to power in the White House a hardened socialist ideologue. His name is Barack Hussein Obama “Has he said.
The organizer of the conference, Mark Skoda, the founder of Memphis Tea Party, described as “problematic” Tancredo’s speech. “It does not advance the dialogue,” he said.
Ty Reynolds, an activist from Kansas to Nashville this, expressed a more acceptable than Tom Tancredo, speaking of the philosophy of the movement Tea Party. “That individual freedom against government control. Leave me alone, stop taxing me excessively and be responsible stewards of taxpayer dollars, “he told The Associated Press.
