It's tempting to laugh at the Tea Party's antics, but as the widely-celebrated broadcaster and best- selling author Laura Flanders argues in this compelling anthology, it wouldn't be smart to dismiss the dangers represented by the meeting of money, moment and media that has brought us the Tea Party phenomenon. With contributions by a wide range of leading experts, At the Tea Party looks at the media and financial backing of the Tea Party, its use of new technology, its appeal to women, the pervasive racism that underpins much of its approach, and the lessons for the Left of a political program that, though often incoherent, nonetheless taps into genuine anxieties... Contributors include: Max Blumenthal, Alexander Cockburn, Lisa Duggan, Barry Eisler, Bill Fletcher, Glenn Greenwald, Arun Gupta, Melissa Harris-Lacewell, Chris Hedges, Jim Hightower, Richard Kim, Rick Perlstein, Katha Pollitt, Sarah Posner, Ruth Rosen, Ken Silverstein, Tim Wise, Kai Wright, JoAnn Wypijewski, Gary Younge, Alexander Zaitchik and Deanna Zandt.
