Kathleen Parker: The Tea Fragger Party
The Washington Post ^ | July 29, 2011 | Kathleen Parker

Posted on 07/29/2011 8:31:46 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

Fragging: “To intentionally kill or wound (one’s superior officer, etc.), esp. with a hand grenade.”

Take names. Remember them. The behavior of certain Republicans who call themselves Tea Party conservatives makes them the most destructive posse of misguided “patriots” we’ve seen in recent memory.

If the nation defaults on its financial obligations, the blame belongs to the Tea Party Republicans who fragged their own leader, John Boehner. They had victory in their hands and couldn’t bring themselves to support his debt-ceiling plan, which, if not perfect, was more than anyone could have imagined just a few months ago. No new taxes, significant spending cuts, a temporary debt-ceiling solution with the possibility of more spending cuts down the line as well as action on their beloved balanced-budget amendment to the Constitution.

These people wouldn’t recognize a hot fudge sundae if the cherry started talking to them....

The left’s imagery has gotten so violent. Are they all on crack?

And they’re paranoid too.

WHERE WERE YOU DURING THE OBAMACARE BATTLE KATHLEEN???????????

I wish you idiot Ruling Class Republicans would go after the libs the way you go after Tea Partiers!

The only reason you RUN the House is because of the Tea Partiers you're embarrassed by.

Let's just remember who this genius is. She was the worst part of the Parker Spitzer show. Fired before him. Now that is an irrelevant loser.

(She is not anywhere near this attractive. There is about 3 handfuls of Vaseline on the camera lens to get her to look this good.)

This article makes no sense whatsoever. Is this like the how the Superbowl Champs T-Shirts are made up in advance for both teams so they are ready for the winning team at the end of the game? She had this all done up in case it was voted down and was released by mistake?

Someone needs to clue not so swift Kathy in that the Bill passed.

This is well-planned strategy to blame the Tea Party when Harry Reid and Obama allow default. Why don’t Republicans ever call Reid and the Democrats what they are, obstructionists and big spoiled brats.

Furthermore, do these imbeciles understand that Congress was meant disagree, meant to debate and hopefully get to a better solution in the end?

These people think everyone’s just supposed to get on-board no matter what the cost.

She should be thanking the Tea Party, which delivered a majority to the house. Fresh meat all 57 of them, in which more than half have already turned in only 8 months. Give Bonehead another 8 months and he will turn the rest with threats or bribes.

She made no investment, but DC got a hell of a return off the sweat, work and money of millions of us who elected them. What return did we get?

Call us misguided...I guess the patriots in the American revolution were misguided as well...I am more than honored to be put in the same group as the courageous fellows!
