Hate the Tea Party...You Should Blame Yourself!

The recent political map in America is no longer divided amongst the red and blue; rather, today, a new entity has entered the political spectrum in the form of the Tea Party.  A libertarian-conservative movement, the Tea Party has gained its notoriety for their support of certain "unique" politicians, and for their stubbornness to negotiate.  With their strong anti-tax and anti-Obama stance, the Tea Party has gotten their fair share of criticism and enemies amongst Democrats and Liberals.  While much of this criticism is warranted, Liberals and Democrats can only blame themselves for the creation and rise of the Tea Party.

From the moment of Bush's election, the Democrats cried fowl and called the election fraudulent.  left wing organizations such as Moveon.org took to the internet to display their theories of the election and severely criticize the president and call for his impeachment.  This criticism exploded following 9/11 and the invasion of Iraq.  As his term progressed, so did these groups and their use of social media.  Theories of 9/11 were published as fact and were even made into a full length documentary.

The creation of this tea party was in part due to the bickering of the left.  after years of using the media and internet to spread their message across, the right has finally discovered how to use this tool in their favor.  For the Tea Party, now is Obama's turn to hear the music.
