As long as the left continues to characterize the Tea Party in this fashion, they will continue to remain on the defensive and will also remain highly vulnerable.

I hate it when these liberal elitists talk down to us like this as though we are a bunch of children throwing a tantrum. KMA Mikey! You can bend over and drop you drawers for your massas in Washington. I’m not going to.

We Bible thumping, Constitution loving, gun clinging peasants are too stoopid to know what’s good for us. Much better to leave those tough decisions such as; what to do with OUR money, how to raise OUR children, how to live OUR lives, to those RULING CLASS elites that are so much smarter than us.

Both parties have hijacked America to “THEIR” beliefs that have nothing to do with America but with only politics in Washington.We need to rid ourselves of both of these arrogant parties before they destroy the country.

Michael Gerson, another amnesty supporter who worked with Rove.

...”checkered financial past, her history of litigiousness and paranoia, her misleading statements about her educational background”....

None of this is true?

A former senior Bush aide, chief speechwriter Michael Gerson, told POLITICO that he supports Obama’s decision.

“An enormously complex and emotional issue — but ultimately the right thing to do,” Gerson said. “A president is president for every citizen, including every Muslim citizen. Obama is correct that the way to marginalize radicalism is to respect the best traditions of Islam and protect the religious liberty of Muslim Americans. It is radicals who imagine an American war on Islam. But our conflict is with the radicals alone.”

Clueless...

Gerson, a onetime Jimmy Carter supporter (he left the Democratic Party largely over abortion), was immediately attracted to Bush’s supposed “compassionate conservatism.”

Gerson angered libertarian conservatives with Heroic Conservatism, his October 2007 book, in which he argues that “America needs a conservatism that is heroic in its aspirations—this includes ‘compassionate conservative’ social strategies such as continued international AIDS funding, anti-poverty initiatives, and a government leadership rooted in moral values” (Blurb on “Heroic Conservatism,” Council on Foreign Relations). These views represent a formidable break with the libertarian portion of the Republican Party. According to Gerson, the moral urgency of poverty and health, both in this country and abroad, makes libertarianism appear out of touch with American values. In December 2006, Gerson advised Republican candidates for the 2008 presidential election: “Campaigning on the size of government in 2008, while opponents talk about health care, education, and poverty, will seem, and be, procedural, small-minded, cold, and uninspired. The moral stakes are even higher. What does anti-government conservatism offer to inner-city neighborhoods where violence is common and families are rare? Nothing. What achievement would it contribute to racial healing and the unity of our country? No achievement at all. Anti-government conservatism turns out to be a strange kind of idealism—an idealism that strangles mercy” (Newsweek, December 25, 2006).

Dumbass. His sole claim to fame is he wrote speeches for somebody else? Obviously he's clueless to the fact that Liberalism and the associated Democrat War on Poverty pretty much destroyed the inner-cities and Black families with it.

So go ahead Gerson, you open-border putz, and peddle your Jimmy Carter conservatism snake oil elsewhere. Pravda would be a good place to go hang out. Never mind. I see you're on HuffPo. Same thing.

A couple interesting tidbits from Gerson’s wikipedia page:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Gerson

“In early 1999, Karl Rove recruited Gerson for the Bush campaign.[5]”

And this gem:

“One of Gerson’s first columns was entitled “Letting Fear Rule”, in which he compared skeptics of President Bush’s immigration reform bill to nativist bigots of the 1880s [12]”

"His critique of O'Donnell was granular and well-informed."

The criticism of Rove wasn't about the substance of his critique of O'Donnell, it was why target O'Donnell? Where was this granular and well-informed critique of Obama, Democrats, Porkulus, ObamaCare, etc., etc., etc. Where has Rove's criticism of other Republicans been? Rove backed Bush's expansion of the Welfare State with 'No Child Left Behind', expanding Prescription Drug benefits, supporting Amnesty.

Has O'Donnell raised anyone's taxes? Has she open the borders wide for an invasion of illegals? Does she support spending the country into bankruptcy? Does she want to disarm the American People?

Why the passion and vitriol against O'Donnell? Now, she's single-handedly responsible for costing the GOP the US Senate. Ah, that's why I thought we had elections, to decide this stuff. Why the vitriol against O'Donnell?

That's what people are questioning about Rove. Gerson is clueless, sadly, not for the first time.

Laura Ingraham yesterday noticed, “The new, improved Karl Rove.” He has announced that he now supports O’Donnell for the Senate and has sent her a contribution. He had apparently received a lot of e-mails from “irritated” correspondents.

I had almost forgotten that Rove was the “architect” of comprehensive amnesty, but it all comes back to me now.

There is an old saying, “When the treason is over, the traitor is no longer needed - by either side.”
