Three-minute news clip suggests Maureen Tucker, drummer for the iconic band, may be a Tea Party member

The clip that started the debate

The Tea Party movement has already astonished observers with its meteoric rise across the US. But yesterday Twitter was buzzing with speculation about whether it had acquired an icon of cool as one of its supporters — a member of the legendary sixties band Velvet Underground.
A three-minute news clip from a local TV station in Georgia went viral on Friday, evoking alarmed responses from Velvet Underground fans that the band's drummer, Maureen 'Moe' Tucker, may have joined the ranks of Tea Party followers.
The clip showed a Tea Party rally in Tiftin, Georgia, and included a 20-second interview with a woman going by the same name, who says: "I'm furious about the way we're being led towards socialism. I'm furious about the incredible waste of money when things that we really need and are important get dropped because there's no money left."
Twitter was filled with speculation about whether the woman in the clip was the Maureen Tucker who sat behind Lou Reed and John Cale, thrashing at her set of drums on songs such as I'm Waiting for the Man and Sunday Morning.
Could it possibly be the same person managed by Andy Warhol?
There are clues that the link was more than just conjecture. Tiftin, in whose memorial park the Tea Party rally was held, is about 20 miles away from Douglas, Georgia, the town where Tucker the drummer moved in 1984 to bring up her family. How the great have fallen: she ended up working for a Wal-Mart there.
The Tea Party Patriots, one of the largest umbrella groups of Tea Party activists, has on its website a page for one Maureen Tucker. She lists herself as female, from Douglas, Georgia.
On it, the Maureen Tucker in question exhorts fellow activists to write to Barack Obama to tell him how angry they are: "DONT WAIT FOR A TEA PARTY – SEND HIM A LETTER/POSTCARD! YOU'LL FEEL BETTER!! KING OBAMA THE WHITE HOUSE WASH; DC 20500".
She says she has been protesting to the Senate about cap and trade, the system to reduce global warming pollution proposed by the Democrats.
She calls on people to send teabags in protest to the White House, and gives her reason for doing so: "This 'administration' HAS TO GO! I have come to believe (not just wonder) that Obama's plan is to destroy America from within. It is the only reasonable explanation for his actions/inactions!"
There is as yet no final confirmation of the identity of the mysterious Tea Party Tucker, but the affinities are certainly striking. It raises the intriguing possibility that a key member of the band that many ascribe to being the coolest ever is now convinced that Obama is the Manchurian candidate.
Watch this space.

Hahaha, what do ya think? The supposed Moe Tucker doesn't come in till near the very end of the video.

I'm furious about the incredible waste of money when things that we really need and are important get dropped because there's no money left.
You think the candidates Beck and the Koch Brothers got you supporting are for those things?

"When fascism comes to America, it will be waving a flag ("We need to restore honor to America") and carrying a cross ("It's time for the country to get back to God")." -Sinclair Lewis

Isn't it funny how these people think Obama is pushing the country toward socialism when they're the ones acting like the Bolsheviks?

I am half Swedish, half American and all my Swedish "socialist" friends have it better than my American friends. They have health care, 5 week vacations, more luxuries, less crime, affordable education, etc.

I think Tea Baggers are holding back America from better things.

the politicans they support are, fact is Tea Baggers don't know what they think but you try scratching below the surface and you find what they'd like to see is quite different from the Randian anarcho-capitalism they've been tricked into supporting, just look at the line about money for needed and important things.

Do people in America really know what socialism means?

Socialism is good for the non-rich poor working people, which I presume is most of the SYG.

If you work 50 hours a week in retail, socialism is your friend. It is not soviet workers marching down the street with tanks and incompetence.

get a grip people

like the demographic that constitutes the teaparty, so naturally they had to be organized to oppose such ideas at the time when their minds might start to drift
(plus also keep the base primed and motivated between elections much as they did in the 1990s with all kinds of Clinton hysteria)

Union of Soviet Socialist Republics

That's all many education-fearing backward redneck "Americans" needed to hear

What the Tea Party morons want isn't the Land of the Free and Home of the Brave so much as it is a theocracy filtered through some kind of 1950s Americana lens.

oh god...ignorance is the REAL opiate of the people..

^^^ seven months is a long time to work up for that first post.
