Frank Rich thinks he has a scoop.
“ANOTHER weekend, another grass-roots demonstration starring Real Americans who are mad as hell and want to take back their country from you-know-who. Last Sunday the site was Lower Manhattan, where they jeered the “ground zero mosque.” This weekend, the scene shifted to Washington, where the avatars of oppressed white Tea Party America, Glenn Beck and Sarah Palin, were slated to “reclaim the civil rights movement” (Beck’s words) on the same spot where the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. had his dream exactly 47 years earlier.
Vive la révolution!
There’s just one element missing from these snapshots of America’s ostensibly spontaneous and leaderless populist uprising: the sugar daddies who are bankrolling it, and have been doing so since well before the “death panel” warm-up acts of last summer. Three heavy hitters rule. You’ve heard of one of them, Rupert Murdoch. The other two, the brothers David and Charles Koch, are even richer, with a combined wealth exceeded only by that of Bill Gates and Warren Buffett among Americans. But even those carrying the Kochs’ banner may not know who these brothers are.
Their self-interested and at times radical agendas, like Murdoch’s, go well beyond, and sometimes counter to, the interests of those who serve as spear carriers in the political pageants hawked on Fox News. The country will be in for quite a ride should these potentates gain power, and given the recession-battered electorate’s unchecked anger and the Obama White House’s unfocused political strategy, they might.”
Oh, Frank, take a prozac and go and comb your hair.
(opps, you don’t have any!) But then a lot of lefties are losing their hair lately. Their time of screwing with America is over.
But Rich’s Op-Ed is hilarious! Lefties are incredible. So we are to believe that only leftwing socialist billionaires can bankroll grass root efforts? George Soros who (through shadows) funds Media Matters, Think Progress and dozens of other leftwing outlets, a fact known for years. The Tides Foundation So what? In America you are free to put your money where your mouth is.

You see in Rich’s America this only counts if you’re on his side of the pond.
However, one thing is different. Lefties can never get the numbers of Americans to support their agenda that the right does. Which means that Soros, Tides Foundation and other leftwing money outlets are pissing their coin down the toilet.
Even more important all that money meant nothing yesterday. The Restoring Honor rally was attended by hundreds of thousands of Americans, far more than the left can get ever hope to get. No one paid those Americans to show up yesterday. They came because there IS a revolution happening, it will happen, and beginning in November change will come.
