2009: The Colbert Report notices that this "outta no where" Tea Party movement has a lot of promotional help from Fox News.

And Glenn Beck holds his Tea Party at the Alamo?

COLBERT: Anyway for what it's worth I would like to throw my support to the grass roots efforts by Fox News Corporation. I certainly hope that this occupation of the Alamo goes just as well as the last one.

PS Thanks very much to those of you who support Crooks and Liars with a contribution. You make our video archives possible. Memory is the liberal superpower.
