Dean: What is tea party smoking?
Former Democratic National Chairman Howard Dean says the tea party was "totally unreasonable" in the deficit-reduction debate and warns that Republicans are being held hostage.
"This is a tea party problem," Dean said Sunday on CBS's "Face the Nation." "They are totally unreasonable and doctrinaire and not founded in reality. I think they've been smoking some of that tea, not just drinking it."
"This is ridiculous what's going on here," he said.
The firebrand Democrat and former Vermont governor said the Standard & Poor's downgrade of the nation's credit is "a good thing" because it underscores the need to raise revenue to address the nation's fiscal crisis.
But he said certain elements of the Republican Party make it impossible for reasonable people to do what Dean said is right -- raising taxes on the wealthy.

do what Dean said is right — raising taxes on the wealthy.
Dean is far left so I would think he’d respect some advice from the Chinese commie government. “The United States should live within it’s means.” They say nothing about raising taxes or that we have a revenue issue. They go on to say that the days are over where the U.S. can borrow continuously to mask their irresponsible spending behavior.
Obama and company are trying to make this a class battle and they’re winning right now with their entire army out there voicing their talking points. The GOP needs a more effective battle plan. Attack and take no prisoners.
It is pretty obvious that Dean thinks we can go on borrowing money or printing it with nothing to back it up for the next 100 years.
This idiot saying the Tea Party is smoking dope. What is he smoking?
YEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Let's not derail the discussion.
There have always been porcine teats; there always will be; it's common knowledge. No human breasts are involved.
The Teat Party is the perfect metaphor for what the TEA party philosophy and working Americans have to deal with.
Let's get on with making these subhumans disappear.
Are you the best that DU has to offer as a Free Republic Troll?
Paging the Viking Kitties...
For a POS who kills unborn children he’s got a lot guff!
They are well aware that the Tea Party is going to vote out as many of the elitists we can and I wouldn’t be a bit surprised to see many left leaning Republicans joining in on the attack bandwagon. Big government socialists in both parties are justifiably concerned.
Liberal Progressive and Communist Talking Points to re-elect obummer.
1) Keep attacking the Tea Party as racists, terrorists and fairness haters.
2) Blame George Bush for the present economic crisis
3) Change topics on any Website that is pointing out unemployment in America.
4) Point out the bad that Unions do for American Workers.
5) Demonize and Marginalize as many Republicans as possible.
6) Isolate, target and vilify leaders and potential leaders of the Republicans.
7) Try and cause as much division as possible within the Republicans.
8) Divide Republicans into groups and incite ‘Group Warfare’ by pitting groups against each other.
9) Attack Republicans and demand a third party to splinter the Republican vote.
Looks like the JuronoList is alive and well somewhere broadcasting the daily DNC talking points.
You still here?
Try to find a smart DUer and at least learn the difference between "principle" and "principal."
Troll Alert!
Exactly just read the comments on most of these stories it is getting to be 1 liberal for every 15 posts by those who are asking about the propaganda and who they think they are fooling.
I wish people would stop playing into the TEAT Party hands...
There is no "initially" about it. It is still a loose association of working citizens of all parties promoting and supporting an idea.
The instant that it becomes a clone of the Dims or the RINOs, the Alinskis and "progressives," the Obamas and the SOROS machine have won.
The value of the TEA party philosophy, and its strength, is that there is no "leadership," or "spokesmen" that speaks for us.
The philosophy is an idea, and so long as it remains an idea, it is invulnerable.
TEA and conservativism are first cousins and it is driving the TEAT Party further into insanity.
Let's keep it that way.
“totally unreasonable” = Did’t take the bait
Hey Howie! The Tea Party isn’t “smoking” anything. It’s usually you old hippies who are “smoking” things. FU my little commie buddy! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!
All the AAA rated countries have universal healthcare.
Thanks. There is nothing quite like a liberal/communist fool when they try to demean and destroy anyone who spouts the truth, even if it is just a “little” bit of truth. They recoil at the truth, just as cockroaches revile the light.
It has become so obvious and predictable—and more and more people are becoming aware of the matrix of lies they weave in our legal system, schools, and media—to create a dependent, ignorant, sexualized, impotent herd of obamabots consumers. (Sex Ed in Kindergarten to condition children into accepting despicable, disgusting things perverts do with their bodies are “good”).
The “utopia” that they conceive is ugly, dysfunctional and full of diaper-wearing adults—and they, in their mental sickness, get giddy to play with the contents of the diapers.....it is their homosexual fixation of the ultimate abnormality and defilement of truth and God and Natural Law—the act that totally turns reason, logic and the Bible upside down.
Homosexual promotion is the ultimate lie to distort the worldview of children, so they will accept all the Big Lies easily with no knowledge of good and evil, of logic and reason—so they will be useful idiots. The ideas in all the great Classical literature—that of Honor, Truth, Virtue, Wisdom—is being obliterated from the minds of our children...intentionally....it is why the Communists in the 60’s sang—hey ho, Western Civ has got to go.......they wanted those GREAT IDEAS that created the most geniuses in the history of the world...destroyed.....People who are wise and honorable and do their Duty to God....can not be led to do evil. They are the Bonhoeffer’s and Solzhenitsyn’s of the world...they get in the way of the big lies.
Regarding quality smokes, how about listening to advice from a national politition who, at his peak, barely rated an asterisk in his own party?
However I really think he should have stopped shooting up his Morphine at 50mg's every 4 hours. The 100mg's he's apparently shooting up now every three hours is making him hallucinate.
This would be hilarious if it wasn't so pitiful.
Someone posts something that's over your head, you label him a "troll."
I pity your little dog, which I'm sure you kick. I'm picturing someone very obese, probably can't leave the house.
I can't go on, it's too sad.
oh, no, not the viking kitties.
what kind of gay, sophomoric remark is this.
yeah, let's not derail the conversation you blathering moron.
