So this guy is STILL blaming Palin for the Gabby Giffords shooting?!

If the TEA Party was truly "ruining" the Republican Party, do you really think David would be concerned?

What a dick this guy is. He is unconcerned about the FedGov squeezing the working class like a lemon. He doesn't care about Socialism and the destruction it always causes.

He attacks those who are being attacked. Quisling.

The trash I threw out yesterday stinks worse than this pathetically stupid, fact-free tripe. “Anti-intellectual”? Projection at its finest.

Funny how the opposite is even more true.

The assistant professor is still working on getting tenure. Using fake history to slam the Tea Party should do it.

So, to qualify his article he posits, out of context:
As early as August 2009, David Frum, a speechwriter for George W. Bush, warned that conservatives were playing with fire. “All this hysterical and provocative talk invites, incites, and prepares a prefabricated justification for violence,” he wrote during the angry summer recess. “It’s not enough for conservatives to repudiate violence, as some are belatedly beginning to do. We have to tone down the militant and accusatory rhetoric.”

Then goes straight for the jugular and citing Gabby Giffords being shot as some tangential tie, which it isn’t.

That lunatic, who shot Gabby and the many other acts of violence subsequently committed were done by craven lunatics, who were either politically agnostic or very much Democrat voting, as well pretty much in line with the left ideology.

The author fails to note one instance, because there aren’t any, of a so called right winger committing any heinous acts.

This article is pure Barbara Streisand....

“It was, in some sense, built into the movement. The logic of their argument—that conservatives were losing the country, that it had fatally departed from the Founders’ intentions, that the republican experiment required periodic revolutions to renew old values—suggested that extreme and uncompromising measures were necessary to restore the nation to the old ways”.

This is perhaps the only sane narrative in the entire article.

what does this make, the 8th million article saying the Tea Party is dead? And that the Tea Party must become socialist to survive?

Since when was the Gabrielle Giffords shooting a manifestation of Tea Party "rage"?

Just how was it that Palin had any responsibility?

Talk about readily dismissable premises...

When you start off with a honking big lie as your premise, everything that follows is crap.

If the “Tea Party” ran the GOP, then why is Boehner and McConnell in charge??

From article,

“...the Tea Party combined legitimate outrage over Democratic policies with more disreputable elements that tended toward extreme directions...”

Leftists (lunatics) always think “extreme” means
adherence to the law, e.i., the Constitution.
