Mention the nationwide Tea Party to progressives and the lame-stream media and it is like tossing a cat into a dog pound.
Mention Sarah Palin in the same breath and it is akin to dumping a whole box full of cats into a dog pound. The lame-stream media are so afraid of Palin and the Tea Party forces that they have stopped pretending to cover them in a fair and balanced manner. This is evident by watching the coverage of the Tea Party and Sarah Palin by commentators and supposedly hard news anchors of MSNBC, CNN, ABC, CBS and NBC.
The latest rash of vicious attacks from the left came after Governor Sarah Palin spoke at the Tea Party Convention a few days ago. As a Tea Party member and a conservative, I see the trashing of Governor Sarah Palin as a positive ... people attack things they fear, and they really fear Palin’s popularity and power; and the more they attack her, the more popular she becomes among the general public.
Even though the left has desperately tried to paint the Tea Party as an “angry white mob,” eyewitnesses, videos and photos show a much different picture. The party includes veterans, conservative Democrats, conservative Republicans, conservative independents, Reagan Democrats, some moderates, blacks, whites, Hispanics, native Americans, Asians, men, women and teenagers. This huge cross-section of Americans is what really scares the progressives and their allies in the media. I believe this force will grow and will continue to exert pressure on the nation’s political scene. This does not bode well for progressives, far-left liberals, socialists and RINOs.
I urge every patriotic American to join and support the national Tea Party forces; after all, it’s our country and I think it is worth fighting for.
The TP folks are for the most part not stupid, naive or unsophisticated. They know the lay of the land and understand fully why they are TP members and what Obama is attempting to do to radically “transform” America, and frankly these folks hold the Messiah in contempt and the grester majority live for the day that he is gone.
Sarah Palin simply reflects their passion, speaks to their decency and reflects their attitudes and beliefs. That is why she embraced and adored by the TP movement.
