Tea Party’s hot mess: Inside a noisy, disenchanted movement (buckle up for this)

This is how people who believe in the Constitution are characterized.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

McDaniel is only five thousand votes out, and I guarantee you there were that many fraudulent votes from the black districts.

If he fights this thing, he can win.

It's about time somebody stood up the the Trayvon vote fraud.

“Despite the fact that the two men were more or less indistinguishable on issue positions ...”

Liberals really don’t understand conservatism, and know almost nothing about it. Sometimes we might need to remember that. We are arguing with people who don’t have any idea what we are talking about. That should be a huge advantage.

This isn’t about a grab bag of “issue positions”, though positions on issues are certainly important. It’s about having some principles, and being willing to fight for them. This piece was written by an ignoramus, which is to be expected from Salon.

[Viennacon]

lol. We’re trying to preserve ‘privileges’! hahahaha. This is so ridiculous, looks like Rachel Madcow wrote it.

[nhwingut]

This guy is your typical academic marxist. Case closed. He is living in an alternate universe.

[Pietro]

The so-called expert compared the Tea Party to the Klan?

Really?

These lies are despicable.

[februus]

Salon - the most insane dreck ever displayed in pixels. Lifers in the swamps of madness.

[ConservingFreedom]

"People who tend to support the Tea Party, they tend to be sexist, they tend to be homophobic, they tend to be xenophobic"

The usual leftist horse manure.

[Sarah Barracuda]

Liberals hate the word FREEDOM..its like Krytonite to them..I want to see these same liberals live in North Korea or Venezuela where you have to wait hours to get hold of toilet paper, let’s see how fast they beg to come back to America

[mojito]

I wouldn't look to Salon for accurate reporting on anything. Salon is a proto-communist webzine for so-called hipsters - in other words, it's sad and pathetic and so biased and doctrinaire that it makes the NYSlimes seem fair and even-handed in comparison.

[chrisser]

Started reading the comments.

I don’t recommend it unless you like visiting DU, not that there’s anything wrong with that.

Thank God they think guns are icky. We’re going to need ‘em when this fast train to morontopia we’re on inevitably crashes and burns.

[TigerClaws]

Exactly. Leftists don’t understand conservatives at all.

Saw this story this morning and it was so removed from reality decided not to post it here. There’s a groupthink that goes on with these Marxists. Echo chamber.

[tumblindice]

I stopped reading Leonard Pitts because I know what he’s going to say on any given issue.
Apparently the same with this guy.
Every few months if I see an interesting topic, I’ll read a few lines of Leo. But nope, he remains a `yellow dog’ plantation democrat on any issue.
Other than keeping an open mind—which is more than he does—why waste your time with these walking dead Dumbocrats?

[familyop]

Tea party? What tea party? There’s no tea party here. A change of affiliation for a day for trials of assessment in primaries then back to no affiliation the next. No organization. Nonpolitical. Next term, we’ll put many righteous, technically inclined spook devilles in local offices.

[Linda Frances]

This is liberals helping rinos. That say everything we need to know about the rinos. Liberals and rinos do think alike. They know the rinos will accept change (lawlessness and changing the constitution to lower the standards of this country) and teapartiers stand against it. They do not want standards, boundaries, rules, but free to try anything and everything no matter how wrong. Imagine what the world will be like for our kids and grandkids if someone isn't pushing back on the evil the left is throwing at us. I read several articles today that said that Obama, Biden, and rice thinks the number one issue that needs to be worked on is helping the gays. Not that people can't find jobs or Chicago loses kids everyday to gang violence, or the world is exploding because of Isis, or how many kids have been dumbed down in government schools, or .......... No. Gay right is top priority to these people. Sick minds are running our country. God help us!

[blueunicorn6]

This is the best Summer I’ve had since I was a kid. The Democrats are stumbling around like a bunch of drunks trying to play hopscotch.

“The economy is up because it’s down!”

“We’re winning in Iraq because we’re losing!”

“More people on food stamps shows our success!”

[Biggirl]

The liberals are afraid of FREEDOM because it WORKS.

[Paladin2]

Pure projection by an academic leftist.

[Gene Eric]

The GOP-e turns to Democrats to steal a Republican primary by a marginal amount in the runoff nonetheless, and this idiot at Salon derides TEA.
