Sweet Dreams Tea, Continued

Will goblueridge.net and High Country Radio follow Fox's example and push the next round of teabag parties as hard as they did last time around? We've only seen it mentioned once so far on goblueridge.net, but there's still time.

By the way...these teabag parties? Totally grassroots. Not funded by rich lobbyists at all. Not one little bit. So you just get that thought right out of your head:
...
Reprising their role in orchestrating the first tea parties, the lobbyist-run groups Americans for Prosperity and FreedomWorks are again helping to organize the July 4 protests. FreedomWorks is working alongside other right-wing groups on a new website to publicize the events, and Americans for Prosperity is hosting several rallies on the 4th, including one with Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX).
...
But while these lobbyist-run groups played a pivotal role in financing the logistics and coordination of the tea parties, Fox News was certainly the megaphone for the movement. Just as Fox News became a full-fledged sponsor of the April protests, running back-to-back segments and broadcasting live from protests across the country, the network is attempting to motivate another round of radical, anti-Obama protests on July 4th.
...
Maybe the "reporters" at goblueridge.net can call in reinforcements from the "Foothills Bureau" to help them count the attendees this time around.
