So, why aren't the tea partiers gathering en masse in NYC to protest Wall Street's multi-trillion-dollar thefts and shennanigans? If memory serves me, the teapers originally formed to protest the bank bailouts and the way they left taxpayers holding the bag for Wall Street's "mistakes."

That would have been the bailouts that occurred under Obama -- they weren't motivated to form a movement when the same thing happened under Bush. That was different. What was different about it? It happened under Bush.

So wouldn't you expect them to take this opportunity to protest the TARP money, the easy credit, the incredible risk taking, and the huge bonuses bankers award themselves with taxpayer funds?

We all know that will never happen, and some of us even know why. It's because, as Cenk Uygur says of them, They're dupes. They think they are so fiercely independent when in fact they are the most easily manipulated people in the country. All that anger toward the power establishment and what happened? They were used by that same establishment to fight against health care reform and to try to protect the health insurance companies. Suckers.

And we can't expect the tea partiers to organize themselves for such a protest can we, without Dick Army's FreedomWorks astroturf outfit to charter the buses, or Beck's and Hannity's detailed instructions?

These are people so dim they can't recognize the contradictions in their own thinking. They were strongly against to the bailouts but at the same time adamantly oppose "excessive regulation" which would prevent future re-occurrences of the meltdown. Uygur says they are being led by the nose by their corporate overlords. And they think they're so tough and independent-minded. What a farce. The whole movement is a sad joke being played on its own members.
