Tea Party Heros

So this week we talked about the four master narratives, comedy, romance, tragedy and irony. I wanted to look for something that could match a person in politics to one of these categories. No need to look any further than the Tea partiers. On Thursday they released the "Heroes and Targets" list. this is the list of the people either they hate or don't. Keeping it boring and simple like most politics. I thought this fit perfectly into our class discussion because one could see the tea party fanatics as putting politicians in to a few narratives. In some ways one might see them as comedy, because they're on "of us" (according to the partiers of course). But then some hold them at such a high standard they could be see as all mighty, or romance. For the group of despised politicians they are looked at as a irony. They are inferior to the people in the tea party. They don't agree with us well lets put them on our target list. A little extreme but hey ti wouldn't be American politics with out some outlandish comment or movement.
