In keeping with the tradition of the holidays - the minds at MSNBC, the place for politics if you're of the lefty persuasion, decided rate the top 10 political stories of the decade.

And leading this gang of masters of political journalism universe was "Hardball" host Chris Matthews, who on the broadcast of his Dec. 24 program, announced that conservative activism, mainly the tea party movement was the eighth biggest story of the decade - but labeled "angry white voters" (emphasis added).

"Welcome back to 'Hardball' - our number eight political story of the decade, angry whites at town hall meetings across the country," Matthews said. "Lawmakers heard the wrath of angry voters."

Is it an honor or a dishonor for the tea parties to be a top 10 MSNBC political story of the decade?

Honor. Because the tea parties are making the PMSNBC leftards wet themselves.

A 'professional politician' is, almost by definition, a crook.

An 'amateur politician' is, almost by definition, not a crook.

If we’re angry white voters than that must make Obama an angry black President.

And of course they’ve succeeded in chasing the law abiding, hard working, merit driven, tax paying whites out of their party . . . so now they’re the party of “diversity” and I guess “cool, calm and collected”

Just one question for Chrissie and his cohorts . . . just how well did your politicians and constituents behave after the Rodney King verdict?

Oh I guess that was different. LOL

Angry White Voters

***

Goes to show that PMSNBC doesn’t know jack. These parties are not just for or attended by whites. People of various ethnic groups attend.

Doesn’t the “Angry White Voters” statement sound a bit racist?

The CLOWNS in the press and the government have no idea how mad we are.

The average American still doesn’t realize the magnitude of the lies they’ve been telling us, when they figure it out, then the pot really will boil over.

I wonder what will happen when we fire a number of the Congresspersons and Senators who voted or will vote for socialized medicine, TARP, Card Check, Cap&Tax and the like. What will PMS NBC say then? Methinks the silence will be deafening.

It sure does. Can you imagine the outcry if MSDNC referred to "angry black voters"?

Let’s just get this straight once and for all: “No matter what it is you don’t like...it is either the fault of whitey or capitalism”....

White overpaid liberals playing the race card... is there anything more pathetic! If I was black I'd get sick and tired of lily white liberals trying to make me jump and dance every time white libtards play the race card.

It is labeling so many thousands, millions in fact, as “failed politics” and other derogatory terms that will inflame and incite these real Patriots to more drastic actions. Only fools poor gasoline on an open flame.

As liberals, they have no mental maturity. So they would not be able to answer that question. Kind of like asking them, “Who is going to pay for health care?” You will get a blank look, and they will say, “Government and rich people!” Sometimes it seems that they are incorrigible.
