Tea Party Shuffle - A grassroots response to the "Barney Funk"  asks what do they mean "viral" ? What do they mean "grassroots"?  And does the term bulls**t, have any meaning any more? Or has it been worn out?

This is an anti-lying, anti-corporate-meddling -in-politics -masquerading-as-"grassroots" video. And not approved of by anyone of any note. Or power. 
The Tea Party Shuffle is a satire of the big money, glitzy ads pretending to be "viral videos". The video intends to be agitprop for the truth about the "grassroots" of the tea bag phenom. Neither anti Bielat nor pro Barney. 

Yet, we kinda noticed that if we were wanting to unseat Rep. Frank in MA we wouldn't noise around our tea drinking habits, either.  Also, we know AstroTurf when we step on it.

Just sayin'.

'I don't consider myself a tea party candidate," Sean Bielat tells me over dinner. "I don't know what it means." But an hour later Mr. Bielat, Rep. Barney Frank's Republican challenger, receives a hero's welcome at the Spindle City Tea Party, a gathering of nearly 200 citizen- activists in this economically depressed mill town. As he approaches the stage, they stand, applauding and chanting "Go, Sean, go!"   October 9, 2010

  "The national Tea Party organization Tuesday announced that it will go up with ads against the 15-term Democratic congressman from Massachusetts and will hold a rally in the state near the end of their upcoming cross-country bus tour."

Just the grass growing. Can you hear the roots?

GOP donors disenchanted with the recent flurry of news about Republican National Committee indiscretions will soon have a new place to put their money -- American Crossroads, a new conservative PAC that many of these big-time donors, as well as conservative behemoths such as Karl Rove and former RNC Chairman Ed Gillespie are helping to get off the ground.
