This must be part of that new tone of discourse we were promised...

Liberal fascist and far left columnist Thomas Friedman says the tea party is the Hezbollah faction of the Republican Party ready to take the GOP on a suicide mission.

The New York Times reported, via AP:

Alas, that is the Tea Party. It is so lacking in any aspiration for American greatness, so dominated by the narrowest visions for our country and so ignorant of the fact that it was not tax cuts that made America great but our unique public-private partnerships across the generations.

If sane Republicans do not stand up to this Hezbollah faction in their midst, the Tea Party will take the G.O.P. on a suicide mission.

Mental illness is the opium of the democrat party, and they are all addicts.

If we were hezbollah, the WH would be negotiating with us

Very good!

[tennmountainman]

The Tea Party is not responsible for decades of out of control spending. It is the DC Hacks on both sides who have brought us this plague. The Tea Party is the group that is trying right the ship before it’s too late.

[listenhillary]

I think we should keep pressing their buttons. They are close to the edge.

I wonder if he’ll write about Obama and his Stalinist wing of the Democrat party...

And to unborn babies, it'd be known as the Khmer Rouge wing.

Even the emotionally distraught Friedman has trouble denying the economic reality of the need to bring America’s spending binge under control that is demanded by the TEA Party. I suspect he lives his private life as a fiscal conservative. It’s time he start preaching what he practices.

it was not tax cuts that made America great but our unique public-private partnerships across the generations...

In other words, re-distribution across the generations, and more recently, across the races and gender identities.

Nothing pleases me more than to see them call us names. Apparently the liberals see us as an existential threat, but don't believe they could win the argument with reason.

They're out of bullets.

[VanDeKoik]

Yeah.

I wasn’t aware that the left actually hated Hezbollah.

Friedman admires China so much I wish he would just move there. Of course he'll never leave his luxurious Bethesda estate.

This guy’s brain is Fried, man.

[Niteranger68]

This is about like OJ Simpson offering successful marriage advice.

[Principled]

Doesn’t this remind of the Tea Party demonization during 0bamacare?

[sauropod]

That’s certainly the emerging meme.

SeekandFind just posted an article from the latimes that accuses the Republicans of “engineering” another recession.

The Stupid Party really needs to get its’ messaging act together and start playing Smashmouth.

They can ask Allen West for lessons if necessary.

[baddog 219]

.The power of real Americans.

[ml/nj]

Any lawyers out there? Can we start a class action libel suit against the NYT for associating obviously nonviolent Tea Party folks with violent Hezbollah types? (I doubt the NYT was trying to imply that we are the Muslim arm of the GOP!)

"New Tone: NY Times Columnist Says Tea Party Is Hezbollah Faction of GOP"

Yeah, well the NYT is the Pravda of the Commiecrat Party.

[FreedomPoster]

Unfortunately, the Big Lie technique has been proven to work, and the Left knows this and uses it quite effectively.

Which is a long way of saying “me, too.”

[listenhillary]

It’s an opinion piece. They usually have a get out of jail free card printed in the paper.

Opinions published may not represent NYT blah blah blah

[Texas Eagle]

Just so I'm clear on this, Hezbollah is bad.

Right?
