As FReeper randita insightfully posted: To be sure, Democrats were terrified of the Tea Party. Many of them, even those in safe D districts went into hiding because they were confronted with their votes on porkulus, bank bailouts, and Obamacare at any and all public events.

Those that didn’t do a disappearing act revved up SEIU goons to intimidate Tea Party folks. That didn’t work because a good many Tea Partiers were crusty veterans who had faced off against much more fearful enemies than goons in purple shirts. And people started bringing cameras and capturing the fisticuffs (initiated by the SEIU goons).

Many of the cowardly pols went into hiding---resorting to telephone town hall meetings.

2010 Republic election victories was a disaster for Democrats. They couldn’t take the chance that the Tea Party momentum would continue into 2012. The IRS was seeing huge numbers of Tea Party and conservative issue advocacy groups applying for 501(c) status. They had to be stopped at the gate before the ticket was purchased.

Ridiculing and demeaning the Tea Party was not enough. Stronger measures had to be taken to snuff out active participation leading to 2012.......(thus the demonic Obamatons set the IRS targeting in motion).

“Democrats were terrified of the Tea Party”

They were right to be because in local elections liberals got their butts kicked. I guess local libs didn’t have access to the IRS auditors like Obama did.

Our liberal 'elites' think they're living in a banana republic - they're wrong. What jerks.
