New Tone: NY Times Columnist Says Tea Party Is Hezbollah Faction of GOP
GatewayPundit ^ | July 26, 2011 | Jim Hoft

Posted on 07/27/2011 6:31:30 AM PDT by SanFranDan

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.

On the positive side, I believe Friedman respects and admires Hezbollah.

I can see the similarities. Tea party wants to cut off the federal budget and Hezbollah wants to cut hands and heads off....

This columnist......

Has anyone lately reminded everyone that the writer’s guild is loaded with Communists?

Read Witness by Whittaker Chambers.

The manic, constant demonization of clearly peaceful people reminds me of something from the 20th century...can’t quite put my finger on it...was it Germany?

public-private partnerships

The perfect description of fascist economics. Who gets picked for those "partnerships" and how? Crony capitalism is the fascist dogma.

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

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

No, you aren't understanding. Thomas Friedman hates Israel and LOVES Hezbollah, so he's really being laudatory to the Tea Party.

Really? It’s the DumocRAT administration that is selling guns to terrorist drug cartels.

So the TP is more dangerous than Drug Cartels? HUMMMMMMM /s

There was a time years ago, when Thomas Friedman had some intelligent things to say (liberal, but intelligent).

He’s since progressively slid down the same rabbit hole into stupidity and insanity as Chris Matthews.

Their tighty whities must be in more of a bunch than usual. Is the TEA party contributing to this dilemma?

The Left is hyperbolic, passionate, crazed, insulting, repetitious and LOUD.

Plenty of folks would observe that the mind-numbed masses are swayed by zealots who yell in their ear and warn of fearsome dangers around the corner. This is a strategy that has worked in the past.

Conservatives, on the other hand, are polite, measured, rational, quiet, and respectful.

We hope that our communication strategy triumphs over their communication strategy, but this remains to be seen. Personally, I have my doubts.
