[E. Pluribus Unum]

I notice she didn't point out any examples of "Tea Party rage."

Probably because the only "examples" she could come up with are such obvious false-flag operations that she knows she won't get away with using them, so she simply smears the Tea Party and moves on.

Rush Goes On the Record with Fox News Channel's Greta Van Susteren (Dec 2011)

They (the GOP) believe what the inside-the-Beltway philosophy is about conservatives. They're racist, sexist, bigot, homophobe, Southern hayseed hicks. They're pro-lifers. They're embarrassing to have to go to the convention with them. And they're just embarrassed to have those kind of people in the party. They're dumb. They're not erudite. They're not educated in Ivy League schools. We'll take their votes on election day, but we really don't want to hang around with them. We don't want anybody in Washington thinking that we're really that close to them and aligned with them. So in the process -- you know, it's a very sophisticated electorate. The Republican primary voter can sense that the Republican Party really doesn't like them, really doesn't want them, thinks that they are the route to defeat. That's the problem in a nutshell. The Republican establishment thinks that a conservative nominee is the route to defeat because they think Goldwater landslides are going to happen because they believe what the popular misconception the left has created of conservatives -- they think everybody thinks that.

The crazy thing is that they're going after us the same way George Romney attacked Barry Goldwater. They might want to take a look at history and see how it turned out. They may have stopped Goldwater from becoming president, but George Romney threw his future of a cliff in the process.
