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?

[MeshugeMikey]

well...I smell FEAR!

these dopes FEAR the Tea Party.

they have nothing else to offer but their REACTIONS

the Tea Party is the New VRWC!!

[Dr. Thorne]

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.

2010, 2014 elections sink the narative.

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

>>“Party of white people”: How Tea Party took over the GOP, armed w/all the wrong lessons from history

Funny how the opposite is even more true.

“Party of rich white people”: How Progressive movement took over the Democrat party, armed w/all the wrong lessons from history

[<1/1,000,000th%]

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

[Vendome]

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....

[rockrr]

It’s amazing that someone can talk so much....and say so little.

[DaxtonBrown]

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

[okie01]

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...

[GeronL]

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.

[vetvetdoug]

I guess the Democrats are the party of arrogant rich white people and the race of stupid professional victims.

[nathanbedford]

This author insists that The Tea Party is destructive and self-destructive because… well, because someone who had nothing to do with The Tea Party shot representative Giffords and Thomas Jefferson was somehow unsatisfactory to the author as president. If that is not clear enough Jefferson's "intentions" (NB not his principles as a founding father) have obsessed The Tea Party. For good measure Ronald Reagan's name is invoked to seal the verdict.

It is pointless to wade through example after example of misconstrued history and inverted political science to criticize this author. The article is a distortion of reality and it is pointless to analyze the absurd.

The Tea Party remains one of the last pillars of hope for the survival of the Republic. Barack Obama and his henchmen in the Democrat party have usurped the liberties of Americans, wrenched our governance away from the Constitution, and divided the nation on the basis of race, class, and faction. He has committed the very sins which the headline of this piece slanders The Tea Party with.

The Tea Party seeks to restore fiscal prudence to the American balance sheet out of fear that the policies of Barack Obama are, wittingly or unwittingly, driving the finest economy in the world to destruction. That is not paranoia but prudential husbandry.

The left is trying to rule not "or ruin" but rule and ruin to open the way for the ultimate transformation of America. The Tea Party stands stubbornly in the path.

A professor huh?

More of a moonbat rant of lies to unwittingly keep the idiots down.

[tennmountainman]

It’s impossible to take over the GOP, when the GOP works with RATS
to pass unpopular bills.

Impossible.
