The Top 5 Republicans Who Think The Tea Partiers Are Bad News

Yeah I saw that too on MSNBC. I was wondering why I saw 1000's of black people at those tea party rallies with all those Obama African witchdoctor and N-word signs.

Mr Williams clarified that today. NAACP Infiltrators. yeah... that's the ticket.

One wonders how long it will take for the other sane Republicans--the half-dozen left--to work up the same courage.

QUOTE:

"In an interview with the Associated Press last week, Bennett said tea partiers are actually helping Democrats, given their support of novice candidates like Sharron Angle...."

Shhh! Bob, you're gonna ruin everything.

You know a movement is bullshit when even the very party it supports rallies against it. Terrific. :)

Tea baggers are just repubs. They also appear stupid. Why? Many of them are on Social Security and Medicare and yet they yell about getting the government out of their lives.

Who are these folks? Race does play a part. They will not accept a duly elected president who happens to be half white and black. The repubs are going to be in bad shape down the road. They are slowly pissing off every minority in the land. I am white, but they will never win with just angry white folks. Down the road we will see the full results of having only old white folks in their party. Remember their 99.9% white convention? Remember the diversity of the folks celebrating in Grant Park on election night? Many young folks are bi-racial. They will never vote for the repubs. All the repubs have done is show they are the old white folks party.

Let's not forget where this all started: Fox News. The whole thing was orchestrated by guys like Beck as a way to attract more viewers, namely, the millions of people who were outraged that a black man could be president.

That's the true foundation of this "Party".

Father Coughlin's Christian Front. The John Birch Society. Ross Perot's Reform Party. We've seen this "conservatives will take our government back, its a revolution, we're a rising tide of regular Americans" act before. It gets weaker and dies out faster on every iteration. By the next election cycle the tea party will be a trivia question.

On a slightly more serious note, on NPR yesterday they read a letter from someone who made a really interesting point. NPR had run a story about the Tea Parties' reliance on the Constitution, a document with which they're obviously not familiar. The letter writer noted the similarity between this facet of Tea Partier belief and fundamentalist Christian belief in the Bible: written by God, words can't be changed, and we have to spend our lives searching for the divine meanings, which of course are not subject to interpretation by mere mortals.

Interesting.

Clearly this is great news for John McCain.

So, I'm not sure how I am supposed to react to this article. Am I supposed to feel sympathy for these poor, arguably saner Republicans? I mean, these same guys stood around and said virtually nothing while the GOP actively tried to stoke the very irrational and unfocused anger that eventually turned around and bit them on the ass. Now they've got a tiger by the tail. Are they really surprised?

Now, inspired by Geico's commercials:

Is the Tea Party of today truly a legitimate movement?

...

Has there ever been a time where Fixed News has never slanted to the right (not saying other channels don't have a left bias - ALL channels do)?

Inglis and Graham are frauds. The Tea Party just doesn't support them so now they have something to say. Last summer during the Death Panel crap Inglis was having town hall meetings and repeating the tea bagger lines. Graham is a racist but for some reason it's a popular belief that he is a closeted Gay man so no Tea Bag love for him.
I called and emailed both of these guys about Healthcare and other issues and they sent me xeroxed replies that read like a Tea Bagger brochure.

What a surprise, Republicans trying to tack to the center now that the primaries are over. Good luck with that.

I had a discussion with a guy at work this week in which he ranted about how Muslims were building a mosque at the former site of the World Trade Center as a way of "rubbing it in" to Americans by "violating our sacred ground."

He had heard about this at a church meeting. Later I checked the web and found that the mosque is two blocks from the WTC--hardly "at the former site"--but no matter, if it were being built in Brooklyn, I'm sure it would still be cause for alarm because it would have been within site of the former twin towers, or some such.

Later, he began discussing how he is living his life according to the inerrant word of God, a confession that didn't surprise me at all. I thought about quizzing him on the derivation of the bible--who wrote it, when it was written, who chose which books to include, and so forth--but I'm sure he would have considered me a heretic from that moment forward, and who needs that sort of reputation in the work place?

But what really gave me the creeps was the way his facial expression changed during that conversation, from what I'd consider his "usual" face during our typical work-related discussions, to a somewhat blank expression when he slipped into his "hate Muslims, love the bible" riffs. It was like he slipped into a different mental dimension.

I guess that's the sort of thing you get when a critical number of Americans forswear rational, critical thinking, ignore facts, and believe with all their hearts that the snake oil they just purchased from the charlatan will remove stains, cure hemorrhoids, and give them everlasting life.

The Republicans know that the Tea Party is a disease.

Now that the TEABAGGERS are upset and DEM Senators who want to investigate BP for it's hand in freeing the Pan Am terrious they are showing their true colors not only are the anti Black and Hispanic but are for Big Oil and UN American for siding with a company who help free this murderer

Bad news as in Party-Divisive, yes. Policy differences? No.

...hey, let's just listen to Palin and the failed GOP, and go back to cut taxes / cut govt that we tried for the 3 decades of the Reagan/Bush era. In fact, let's get ANOTHER big tax cut to the wealthiest as we did in 1981 and 2001.

I mean, that worked SO well to deliver Trickle Down prosperity. Almost nobody is unemployed now. And the banks and oil companies and health insurers, heck - they POLICED THEMSELVES!!! Get government out of the WAY by golly!

Abe Lincoln would have said;
"You can fool some of the people, ALL of the time"... ;^)

I guess they won't be joining Michelle Bachmann's one-person caucus (more aptly called a "kookus.")

Well, the government voted to cut unemployment to Americans who lost their jobs because of the government letting all our jobs go overseas and lettng the Zionist Israeli Jews control our banking system. There is no shortage of money to send to their fellow Jews in Israel. Damn the well-being of the slaves. Let the slaves starve and go homeless. All that matters is the master, Israel. Oil is not the reason the US is in Israel. America is there making more room so that the world Jews can flee there to safety as people are awakening to Jew treachery.
