Share this! This IS a vast right-wing conspiracy! Indisputable, undeniable proof!

Weird Liberal Head concludes his investigation into the Tea Party, and reveals what he has found. And let me tell you, it is VERY interesting. (See all of the information/evidence below). Here is what we need to focus on when destroying the Tea Party: they are astroturf, racist, and fascist. And you and I have undeniable proof. They are controlled by corporate, especially oil, money. They are racist and fascist, getting StormFronters to join their rallies. This is undeniable. The evidence is OVERWHELMING. We can safely conclude that the Tea Party and all their backers constitutes, for lack of a better term, a vast right-wing conspiracy.
PLEASE share this video, and this information and evidence. The Tea Party will not survive once the public knows about this, especially StormFront's role in this so-called "peaceful, tolerant, and diverse" movement. They will go down, taking the Republican Party with them. Note: Here is my evidence, and some of my information/evidence down below.

What I Found:
FreedomWorks and Americans for Prosperity are sister companies, and they work together to help the Tea Party.
FreedomWorks was founded and is lead by Dick Armey. Americans for Prosperity was founded by David H. Koch of Koch Industries.
FreedomWorks and Americans for Prosperity used to be Citizens for Sound Economy, before it split up in 2004. Citizens for s SoundEconomy was an anti-tax, anti-regulation, climate change-denier conservative think-tank.
The Koch Brothers (billionaire conservative-libertarian Republican brothers) have set up other conservative groups such as the Cato Institute and Reason Foundation. The Koch Family has ties to the John Birch Society, and they have appear to have influence in Fox News. An interesting note: the Koch Family owes their enormous fortune to none other than Joseph Stalin (Soviet Oil).
FreedomWorks is funded by the Koch Brothers, MetLife, Philip Morris, Verizon, At&T, and the Scaife family.
Americans for Prosperity is funded primarily by the Kochs'.
StormFront is a neo-Nazi website that generally supports the Tea Party.

Conclusions:
Based on this, I think I can conclude that the Tea Party was originally intended to be set up as a conservative-libertarian venture to energize the GOP. However, it was hijacked by neocon Republicans, social conservatives/religious fundamentalists, and StormFront members. They are working together to push the Republican Party further to the right and to destroy the Democratic Party, liberalism/progressivism, and the Left in general. However, the various factions within the Tea Party have their own agendas. The libertarians are trying to make the GOP more conservative/libertarian, and restore fiscal responsibility and social liberty to the government and our country (Ron and Rand Paul). The neocons are trying to use the Tea Party to elect conservative Republicans and re-energize the party, they are more interested in GOP victories than Tea Party primary coups (Republican Party leaders, more moderate and "hawkish" people in Tea Party). The social conservatives/religious fundamentalists are trying to push the Republican Party and the entire nation further to the right on social and religious issues, (see Christine O'Donnell, Sharron Angle, etc., more radical Tea Partiers). The StormFront members are trying to recruit people to join them, trying to make the Tea Party, GOP, and country more fascist/neo-Nazi. There are other groups in the Tea Party, such as the militias and the John Birch society, who likely have similar aims. The Tea Party is inherently unstable, as all of these factions do not always agree. However, if the Tea Party is able to stay united, it will probably grow in power and influence as more Independents and conservative Democrats join it. It most likely has not collapsed yet due to either luck, the Tea Party leaders like Glenn Beck and Sarah Palin are successful in keeping it more-or-less stable, or they have not run out of enthusiasm/energy yet, or perhaps some combination of the three. This movement is astroturf, and influenced by conservative organizations and corporations such as StormFront and Fox News. It is also likely to be manipulated and eventually more-or-less controlled by the Republican Party, Fox News, and other right-wing groups. I have little proof, but I suspect that the Tea Party are the latter-day Perotistas, and that the Family, local/state governments, and possibly foreign governments, have increasingly larger roles within this movement. The Tea Parties have been violent before, and are likely to become increasingly violent in the future, inspiring more to commit violent acts, and a serious Tea Party riot in the near future is definitely a possibility. It is also very likely that the Tea Party seeks to, and is actively creating an organizing a militant wing, probably to intimidate political rivals, opponents, and enemies. The Tea Party and their backers can be described, for lack of a better term, as a "Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy". To summarize: the evidence is overwhelming. The Tea Party is controlled by a few extremists intent on radicalizing the GOP, the nation, and the Tea Party itself, promoting and helping corporate interests as they do so. They are dominated by FreedomWorks, Americans for Prosperity, StormFront, conservative groups and leaders, corporations, and other far-right extremists. In short, this is an astroturf, racist, and fascist movement.

Please share this information with everyone, especially Tea Baggers. Thank you!

1. In the vein of 'know your enemy'
The "Tea Party Express" is the element of the 'tea party' that is backed by Freedomworks. There are multiple 'tea party' factions, vying for supremacy. You have identified only one. The original Ron Paul/Tea Party movement is a different faction. The Fox News/Palin/Beck backed element is yet another faction. There are more.
