'TEA Partiers:' White, angry, anti-Obama

REPUBLICANS TOM TANCREDO, SARAH PALIN AND THE TEA KLUX KLANER'S WANT TO OUT LAW MINORITIES FROM VOTING

It's hard to say which was more disturbing: Tancredo's apparent call for reinstituting laws that were a fundamental component of Jim Crow in the post-Reconstruction South, or the massive round of applause he received from the Teabaggers for saying it.

Glenn Beck told me that these are Far Left Wing Secular Progressive Nazi Liberal Socialist Radical Agitators working in cahoots with Islamo Fascist America Hating Radical Terrorist Anti Israeli Carpet Bombers, and he's never wrong. Beck gets so upset about this that he starts crying.

We are seeing the re-emergence of the Republican Party's true self (racisim, bigotry, homophobia). They are more than mere obstructionists - although Sen Richard Shelby brings obstructionism to a new high.

They are intent on realizing Grover Norquist's dream of reducing the size of government so they can "drag it into the bathroom and drown it in the bathtub."

Tancredo blames the election on the dumb electorate that doesn't see the world through his prism, and wants to force out those who don't follow his ideology. Ryan sees the wreckage that is Wall Street as the salvation of Social Security, and the status quo health insurance industry as superior to Medicare.

Democrats often talk about how Republicans don't care about promoting the general welfare of the people. These recent examples bring hard evidence to our words.

Lincoln spoke eloquently of a government by, of, and for the people. But the Party of Lincoln has lost this view. Norquist's dream of drowning the government is, in essence, a desire to drown the American people. This desire manifests itself with the words of Tancredo and the proposals of Ryan.

The Tea Party movement reveals itself to be not much more than political varnish slapped on growing resentment at the erosion of white privilege.

Paul Ryan reveals that deficit hawkishness is nothing more than handing over government to corporate America.

How THIS qualifies as a populist movement is beyond me. It sounds more like a suicide pact.

TEA BAG BIGOTRY EXPOSED!!!

"The GOP has either allied themselves with the bigot-based 'tea bagger' movement or it is the instigator of it. Just when I had come to believe that the GOP could not possibly sink lower, it is now clear to me that this endemically bigoted party is positioned to exceed all previous lies, idiocy and hate talk that has been spewed on that party's behalf by Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, Bill O'Reilly and a legion of hate spewing wannabes. Indeed, the GOP --apres Bush --is a deluge, jack-booted army of right wing hate mongers."

The Republican party will eventually collapse under the weight of the Tea Klux Klan wing of their party.

The few victories that they will win will backfire on them big time once their hatred and racism is put on full display in congress for everyone to see and be repulsed by. I don't care how much halfwit right wing rubes like Sister Sarahcudda cheerlead for them, it will eventually turn into a Epic Republican Fail.

There is one key question the poll does not ask. What party do you identify with, Rep, Dem or Ind.

Another thing, something doesn't add up.
"HOW MUCH HAVE YOU HEARD ABOUT TEA PARTY MOVEMENT?"
Not much/none 55%

"DO YOU THINK OF YOURSELF AS A TEA PARTY MEMBER?"
Haven’t heard of it 43%

How can one number vs. the other be 12% off?

And Silva, this is a CBS/NY Times Poll. Not a CBS/Times poll.

You have to be kidding, right !!? Here I thought they were all like " John W", sharp witted, very reasonable and of course, an ideal American, just like that model Senator, Senator Brown !! I guess I not am as stupid as I look !!
SUPPORT OUR TROOPS, BRING THEM HOME, ALIVE AND WHOLE. NOW.

The Party of No (GOP) mimes the talking points of Hannity and Beck, while Fox Infotainment & Limbaugh Shock n’ Awe spews corporate propaganda and the Teabag tools take it for “fact.”

And since nobody in America reads or pays attention to history, it’s repeating itself again. Can you say “1932”?

Welcome to the rise of right wing American Fascism.

Only about 20% of the country is in the Teabagger category. Most Republicans are just ignorant, alienated people afraid for their country and afraid to admit that it was their own leaders who put this country in the terrible mess that it's in now.

Why they weren't afraid when the last administration ran up so much debt and was really radical in its completely altered conception of American Constitutional law is probably due to the fact that this cohort is so ignorant and gullible.

Wingnuts are basically authority worshippers, so "might makes right," and "the man with the gold, makes the rule," and whatever. It's fine with them.

Bush's fault Bush's fault Bush's fault Now who's with me EEEEEEEEEERRRRRGHH!!!

So, this is the Main Stream Media's idea of telling people about the Tea Party movement...they are white people and Republican. OK, the far majority of Civil Rights movement in the 60s was Black and Democrat. What's your point? You gonna try and go down the angry white guy road again? It's not gonna fly. The article "educating" us all on the Tea Party did not give ONE sentence to explain WHAT they stand for. As Mark echoed like a good member of the left wing journalism hacks that pervade our media, there is this statement "for most Americans the movement remains relatively unknown: most haven't heard of the Tea Party, and those who have are still unsure about its stances." And then it never states what the Tea Party stands for. IT STANDS FOR LOWER TAXES AND LESS GOVERNMENT.

The fact that 55% have not heard of the Taxed Enough Already movement (TEA) is a fitting tribute the MSMs being in the hot tub with Obama. You've seen the CNN reporter bimbo on Youtube, I assume.

Rasmussen's poll shows 75% of people angry at government, while the good old Democrats at CBS can only come up with 17% angry at Washington. 17%, really? In the worst recession in the last 70 years with a real unemployment rate of about 17% everybody is happy with Washington according to CBS. I'm sure THAT explains why a democrat won Ted Kenedy's Senate seat...Oh wait. A REPUBLICAN won. Hmmm...maybe no one watches CBS anymore. Wonder why...let's ask Dan Rather. Oh too bad, he doesn't work there anymore.

I would say you have just described much of middle America. You might add that they are angry at the White House war on the middleclass,

A CONSERVATIVE ATTENDS NASHIVLLE TEA PARTY: SAYS TEA PARTY MOVEMENT NOW DOMINATED BY CONSPIRACISTS 'DANGEROUSLY DETACHED FROM REALITY' !!!

"After I spent the weekend at the Tea Party National Convention in Nashville, Tenn., it has become clear to me that the movement is dominated by people whose vision of the government is conspiratorial and dangerously detached from reality. It's more John Birch than John Adams."

"Perhaps the most distressing part of all is that few media observers bothered to catalog these bizarre, conspiracist outbursts, and instead fixated on Sarah Palin's Saturday night keynote address. It is as if, in the current overheated political atmosphere, we all simply have come to expect that radicalized conservatives will behave like unhinged paranoiacs when they collect in the same room. That doesn't say much for the state of the right in America. The tea partiers' tricornered hat is supposed to be a symbol of patriotism and constitutional first principles. But when you take a closer look, all you find is a helmet made of tin foil."

"Black rifles" huh? And who says that those who criticize Obama are mostly right-wing sore loser racists? Glad that he proves them wrong!

A CBS/Times poll about the Tea Party Movement is like the wolf doing a poll about hen house, in other words not trustworthy. There are few organizations that do polls that I would trust. None of those orientations affiliated themselves with a television network or a newspaper. This is like Acorn investigating themselves then reporting they found no wrong doing. Now cue up the loony liberals with their childish immature name-calling.

ET'S HEAR IT FOR OVER-PAID UNION GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES!!!!!!
*
MADISON BUS DRIVER HIGHEST PAID CITY EMPLOYEE

The highest paid city government employee of Madison, Wisconsin, last year wasn't the mayor. It wasn't the police chief. It wasn't even the head of Metro Transit. It was bus driver John E. Nelson, says the Wisconsin State Journal.

Nelson earned $159,258 in 2009, including $109,892 in overtime and other pay.
He and his colleague, driver Greg Tatman, who earned $125,598, were among the city's top 20 earners for 2009, city records show.
They're among the seven bus drivers who made more than $100,000 last year thanks to a union contract that lets the most senior drivers who have the highest base salaries get first crack at overtime, says the Journal.

And there was a lot of overtime -- $1.94 million last year, $467,200 more than the bus system budgeted for and the most ever for the system -- as employees exhausted sick leave and took advantage of unpaid leave through the federal Family Medical Leave Act, officials say:

The high salaries for Metro bus drivers come as Metro's ridership continues to grow and the system ranks high among peers according to a 2009 state audit.
Metro, which increased fares last year, carried 13.58 million riders in 2009, the second highest total in 40 years.
In the past, drivers have defended the pay, saying they earn it by working long hours that can create hardships on families. Also, the job requires navigating an oversized vehicle through city streets and dealing with sometimes uncivil riders and other challenges, they say.

The bus drivers' contact, which calls for pay up to $26.02 an hour, expired at the end of December and the sides are now in negotiations.

Overtime is high for several reasons, says Metro general manager Chuck Kamp:

Metro employees are exhausting sick leave time, taking advantage of the federal Family Medical Leave Act and have high rate of absenteeism without pay.
For example, use of the medical leave act by Metro employees jumped 44 percent to 28,340 hours from 2008 to 2009, Kamp said, calling it "the driving factor" for overtime last year.

So it turns out the stereotype that the Tea Partiers and Fox have fought for so long is actually true. This is a crowd that does not mirror the rest of America and is unquestionably on the fringes of society.

Silva: How many times are you going to let these leftie thugs repost and repost the same tripe over and over and over and . . .

- The GOP Wants to Take Away Your Social Security
- Argentina Loverboy Mark Sanford is begging for stimulus money today!
- END THE REPUBLICAN'S ABUSE OF THE FILIBUSTER!
- Nate Silver nails it..........BAZINGA!!!!

Maybe the thought-limited lefty loony libs can at least find new propaganda to post instead of the same old tired crap over and over and over and . . .

If you go to the PDF of this poll, there are 84 questions that have been removed from the polling results.
http://www.cbsnews.com/htdocs/pdf/poll_Tea_Party_021110.pdf?tag=contentMain;contentBody

This is a fixed release by CBS/NY Times and shouldn't hold water and be dismissed outright.

The Lamestream Media and the Loons from the Left can diss the Tea Party people all they want. That's Ok. Come November 2010, it will be the Tea Party People, Independents, Conservatives, Republicans, and the rest of the Real Americans That Actually Count who will get the last laugh. While many Americans aren't quite "Tea Party People," they are united against the Left and this administration when it comes to taxes, ridiculous spending, pork, graft, corruption, BS, terrorist appeasement, etc.

Obama’s U.N. State of Mind
The ideology that is shaping U.S. national-security policy

The Obama administration and top White House counterterrorism adviser John Brennan are casting around for scapegoats after botching the treatment of al-Qaeda bomber Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab. But their decision to treat him not as an enemy combatant but to accord him American constitutional rights, as well as their plan to entitle Osama bin Laden henchman Khalid Sheikh Mohammed to his day(s) in a New York City court, were well-scripted. American counterterrorism moves are in lockstep with proclivities at the United Nations and are being duly executed by handpicked officials who have long expressed the same ideology.

The idea of finding inspiration for U.S. national-security policy by looking to the U.N. is a troubling development. The world body still cannot even agree on a definition of terrorism. Islamic states continue to insist, in the words of the Islamic Terrorism Convention, that any “struggle” in the name of “liberation” is exempt. This means that at the U.N., identifying an enemy, let alone an enemy combatant, is virtually impossible.

The November election results will speak for themselves, Tea or no tea party. I view the tea party as the conservative equivalent of Acorn or other left wing groups. Either way both sides are noisy & annoying. But their goal to is to mainly irritate the other side. Both sides do a good job of that. Somewhere in the middle people will make up their own minds. I think it's funny that people like Palin & the Tea Party people have some people's panties in a bunch here.
Paulo is right, you are a bunch of pantie waists!

Little Johnny D,
Just curious. How could terrorists be appeased when President Obama is sticking to the w/drawel timetable in Iraq laid out by President Bush and escalating troops in Afghanistan and stepped up Predator drone strikes in Pakistan. Like the rest of your Moutain Dew mouthed (google it!) TeaBagging pals you are detached from reality.

Don,

It's all good and/or well that you can be so self deprecating. The ability to laugh at one's self is quite admirable, not to mention rare these days. However, you open yourself up to cheap insults by writing stuff like that. I can resist the temptation, but others may not.

ServetheServants

After checking your website I put you as about as trustworthy as this poll, which means non-trustworthy. If you going to believe a poll that has removed 84 questions so that they can get the numbers they want so be it. This is another example of why the loony liberals only account for 1/5 of the voting population.

wingnut master

I agree to a point.

Note that there is no mention of how many Democrats are in the Tea Party movement...and there are many of us. Do you think it's only Republicans and Independents who want responsibility in government, fiscal restraint, and safety for the American people? Contrary to media implications, many Democrats - personified when Bill Clinton and John Kennedy
were presidents - believe in all of the above and do not want a left turn to socialism and national weakness as illustrated by the Obama administration and the San Francisco-Pelosi-Reid leadership in Congress.

We already knew this anyway. White, Republican, and with little education. No surprises there. Tea Party? Call it what it really is. Racist Uneducated Republicans Acting Out in Blind Anger. You can't have a revolution when it's being led by some of the very same politicians responsible for the dismal performance of the Republican Party. Talk about putting lipstick on a pig.

In seeing the Tea Party convention on Fox I can only wonder why so many of its members are elderly. It looked like over 75% were well over their 60s. I have to wonder how many of these folks receive most all of their income off of the Federal Government. These same morons who want to lower the deficit would howl in anger if their benefits were cut one penny. Such hypocrites. If the 1/5 of Americans that are Tea Party members gave back their government checks we would have a balanced budget. Anyone know what the Tea Party wants to cut from the budget? My guess is that it would be someone else's benefits.

pd and what age group votes the most? Wise up!

This just in:

Tom Tancredo announced today he has been asked to head a new party which will merge the Teabag movement with the John Birch Society and the YAF.......

I have a hard time giving credibility to a group that makes up stuff to prove their point. When they make things up and people believe it I start to laugh at them. If it makes me an elitist to laugh at people who believe snow in the winter discredits global warming then I guess I am. If it makes me an elitist to laugh at people who believe in death panels or they are going to kill Grandma I guess I am. If it makes me an elitist when I laugh at birthers I guess I am. If it makes me an elites to laugh at people who think republicans want to create jobs in the U.S. after creating all those jobs in China or any other country but ours then I guess I am. If it makes me an elites to laugh at people who think the republican party gives a sh-- about the middle class then I guess I'm an elites.

What the HELL! I can't believe Tom Tancredo and the white tea-baggers want to bring back the Jim Crow laws! With all of the hate spread by the tea-baggers and neo-cons, things are getting a lot out of order. Maybe it is time for the Senate or House to start a panel for hearings on un-American activities again, that are surfacing not only in the tea-baggers, neo-cons but also the conservative personalities on the radio. They continue to spew lies, deceptive remarks, and innuendos that have no truth to at all. They have brain washed the folks who listen to Fox and conservative radio to such a degree, they actually believe the untrue crap that they spew. Form a panel or committee and bring them in front of to testify! They are doing great harm to this nation in the name of politics. Remember the republicans never do anything for this nation they only do things to this nation! whiteagle38

no spin

You're being a hypocrite or did you forget one of the liberal mouthpieces that got canned over a made up letter. Or how about Rev. Sharpton and the story about the girl that was raped that really was not. Or the congressman that called our Marines murderers. And what about your own lie in your post about jobs in China. Do I have to list more or explain it to you.

Raymond L. Juneau

Talk about someone making up lies. Who said anything about Jim Crow laws coming back other than yourself. And it's pitiful what you say about Fox news and conservative radio. Remember liberal radio was tried and went bankrupt, Air America. And just look at mainstream media and how they are going broke because of their liberal bias in reporting. Sorry Ray but the only thing that is un-American is you even suggesting such a panel. It just goes to show your ignorance of our American history.

It's odd that the TeaBaggers/Republicans don't seem to object to subsidizing the socialist nation of Israel to the tune of $4 billion per year, yet we can't have meaningful healthcare reform here.

Remember America; The TeaBaggers ruined the chance to reform health care.

The Tea Party = The Bush Base renamed. Same folks.

Carter's fault!
Carter's fault!
Carter's fault!

You low performers have been blaming Carter and Clinton forever.

ConservoWorld

Sorry but, history has all ready rendered a verdict on Carter's performance and it turns out he was the worst president in modern time. Clinton on the other hand is still a tossup when it comes to his performance.

Yet the events of 2008 in the economic disaster that occurred have passed judgement on both Reagan and GBush. They destroyed the American economy, RR in the long term and GWB as fast as he could manage it.
It was all about cheap money, debt, leverage, naked shorting, discourage saving, borrow and spend at the mall, deregulate.

Remember this? "Deficits don't matter, RR proved it." (Dirty Dick)
And " I've hit the trifecta!" (Incurious George)

And history rendered a verdict on Reaganomics in the 2008 economic disaster. You Baggers are just too stupid to read the message.

Hidy Howdy!
The Tea Party is a real movement. A huge huge movement! How can anyone say the Tea Party is not a movement!

And lets not forget, as long as you are going back in history to blame the Democrats for everything, it was RR that armed ObL. It was RR that 'cut 'n run' from Beruit after 241 US Marines were sacrificed. And don't forget the USS Stark. Saddam rocketed it, killed a lot of US sailors, and RR did nothing about it. (Oh I forgot. Saddam was our ally then.)
