New TeaParty Lie: Public Schools are 'socialist' so divert Tax $$ to Jeb Bush et al. Charter Schools

The new Tea Party lie I saw for the first time yesterday is: divert tax money for public schools to private schools - like Jeb Bush's Charter school via vouchers.  Nothing new for the Tea Party to support Corporate Welfare - I always knew the "Taxed Enough Already" chant was BS.

Here's I stumbled on it:
I was surfing twitter yesterday when I came across, what I thought at the time was, a strange twitter exchange.  The Tea Party tweeter who doubles as a Birther (more about that below) was trying to convince his peeps that Public Schools are 'socialism' ... so ... to end the socialistic public schools, we need to divert our tax dollars to private schools who are owned by people like Jeb Bush because it would be "single-payer" paid via vouchers.

@toby_dorena A voucher system takes a single-provider&single-payer system and makes it just single payer.

Is Public Education a Socialist institution? If so & Conservatives support it—aren't they Socialists? #tcot#uniteblue#ccot#teaparty#tgdn

All are taxed to support a special interest group—parents with school age children。We call it Public Education。#tcot#uniteblue#ccot#sgp

I should note here, this guy, Markham Robinson is Chair of American Independent Party (AIP) who wants to criminalize abortion, allow states to secede and whose lawsuit saying Obama was not born in America was rejected by the US Supreme Court. Alan Keyes and Wiley Drake ran for President & Vice President under the AIP banner

From MSNBC

The U.S. Supreme Court is refusing to even comment on, yet alone hear, an appeal challenging President Barack Obama’s U.S. citizenship and his eligibility to serve as commander in chief.

The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals had already ruled the challengers (Alan Keyes, Wiley Drake and Markham Robinson) did not have legal standing to file the lawsuit. Keyes and Drake ran against Obama on the American Independent Party ticket and Robinson serves as the party’s chairman.

Okay, so there's a lot more to "single-payer" than just having one single body pay the fee but who needs facts when you're trying to gin-up propaganda words.

After Twitter I went to Talking Points Memo and saw:

Ohio State Rep: 'Public Education In America Is Socialism, What Is The Solution?'

I thought WTF! They must be all working from the same rightwinged nutjob email.

TPM reported that Ohio State Rep. Andrew Brenner(R) who is vice-chair of the Ohio House Education Committee - took to his blog and told his peeps that Public Education is social so we need to divert tax money to corporations/businesses who own Charter Schools.

So I checked out his blog and found this:

OMG! They used the 'scare em with the hammer & cycle' pic which I doubt they even know what it means. But what is more disturbing is the article on this State Rep's blog that I circled in red titled:

"Was Sandy Hook a hoax designed to advance gun control laws?"

Yes, my skin crawled and I felt I was in the den of vile, uneducated, crazy-ass freaks.
