They’ve got to be kidding. Wasn’t he one of those making fun of the tea party folks?

No way! BOR is just trying to jump on the bandwagon after finding out that the movement is more substantial than he first thought.

CAUTION: RINO pushing 3rd party (who will always help ‘rats to win) to minimize Conservatives.

Yep ...

The tea party is a resurrection of the original Abe Lincoln 'freedom and liberty' republican party. If the current Republicans want to join us, they can.

A Tea PARTY is exactly what the Marxist, including B.O.,
would love to see. Split the conservative vote down the middle and assure victory for the Commies.

I don’t know the reporter, but it seems like a very naive article, more worried about whether BOR’s guests are Irish-American or not.

Did he think last September that the Tea Party group was just a bit of disgruntled extremists? Nice to see him get on board even if it is late.

Maybe he got his orders at the WH holiday (not Christmas) bash: try to infiltratre the tea partiers and calm down Glenn Beck.

The Irish Central is a liberal paper. Think of this article as the media equivalent of push-polling. Tea Party supporters are mostly conservative. If it comes into being, we will have 2/3 Democratic majorities in both legislative chambers, and a Democratic lock on the White House. We won’t have to worry about illegal immigration after a Tea Party slate of candidates materializes - Democrats will just hand out green cards to anyone who shows up in America.

Yeah, and I seriously doubt that I'd get real excited about any party that runs Hannity and/or any of his very good friends for any office.

Defeat & purge the RINOs in the primaries. Rubio vs crist is a classic example.

BOR will use the Tea Party just as he is using Glenn Beck to maintain his ratings. I am convinced that he does little homework and has his information spoonfed by his producers. He talks in generalities, and when questioned by people more informed than he is, generally changes the subject — and quickly.

The bombastic buffoon is trying to piggyback onto Glenn Beck's success.

O'Reilly is all over the place in his opinions, and often agrees with, or gives an undeserved PASS to the left.

Thus, he is decidedly NOT leadership material for the Conservative cause.

He said the 9/12 march consisted of 50k, instead of the more realistic 1 million. His comment on this was parroted by the MSM as their confirmation of a low turnout.

I'll welcome his support, I won't be a cannibal and eat one of our own (he sort of is), but I would hope he wouldn't want to try and lead.

Yeah, I think someone tapped him on the shoulder & took him in a back room at that party.
