Rob Reiner: Tea Party Should Be 'Eliminated' Like Hamas

Michael Chapman at our sister site CNSNews.com reported that Hollywood director Rob Reiner unleashed another anti-Tea Party rant in an interview with Larry King. He compared the Tea Party to the terrorist group Hamas, because apparently both groups are extreme and cannot be negotiated with, and the only solution is to make them go away or “eliminate” them.

In Israel, “[Y]ou can’t negotiate with that, you have to say either Hamas goes away and the Palestinian authority takes over all that region and deal with some kind of honest broker here, and create the two-state solution,” said Reiner.

The Palestinians turned down the ability to have their own state in 1948 when Israel was formed, so clearly, Hamas, and again, the virulent faction of a, really, uh, group can control everything,” said the Academy Award nominee.

Reiner continued, “You look at the Congress right now in the United States, you’ve got a strong Tea Party group controlling the whole country, because they have a gridlock, they have a gridlock, stranglehold on Boehner. Boehner can’t make a move, and so for that reason, nothing gets brought up in the Congress.”

“So anytime you’re dealing with an extreme group, you cannot negotiate with them, and they way to do it is to eliminate it,” said Reiner. “With the Tea Party, you have to go through a political thing, you have to wait till 2020 to redistrict, but, uh, that is really tough stuff.”

A few days before the 2010 midterm elections, Reiner compared the Tea Party to Hitler on Bill Maher’s HBO show: "My fear is that the Tea Party gets a charismatic leader, because all they're selling is fear and anger and that's all Hitler sold. 'I’m angry and I’m frightened and you should hate that guy over there.'”

Archie Bunker was right ... he is a meathead

Roger that. That was the first thing that came to my mind too.

[marron]

Which for me begs the question. Does he really want Hamas eliminated?

[Billthedrill]

you’ve got a strong Tea Party group controlling the whole country...

We do? News to me. When do we start shutting the government down?

I do believe Mr. Reiner has crossed a line there, and there's no turning back. It's inevitable now, but only one side is prepared. Not his.

If the TEA Party was like Hamas, rockets would slam into commie Reiner’s house and what’s left of his fat has-been body would be hundreds of charred pieces. That’s the modus operandi of a true terrorist group like Hamas.

The TEA Party....adherence to the Constitution, small, limited accountable government.....yeah, Reiner, that sounds like an extremist position, Reiner, you clueless Hollyweird moonbat.

all they're selling is fear and anger and that's all Hitler sold.

Well, he also sold cars:

Heydrich was far more handsome than Meathead

LOL, with the schnozzola he had?

You ever get the feeling that sometimes you can just look at a person and see that they like sex with little boys?

[Pox]

Asshats like Reiner don't understand that their rhetoric continues to feed the division between Americans.

If the next civil war happens in this country, Reiner and his brethren will be targets that will not survive the conflict, IMO.

Larry King?”

Larry? Larry who?

[freebilly]

Fredo, you’re nothing to me now. You’re not a brother, you’re not a friend. I don’t want to know you or what you do. I don’t want to see you at the hotels, I don’t want you near my house. When you see our mother, I want to know a day in advance, so I won’t be there. You understand?

[Graewoulf]

Rob Reiner needs to Join FOX as a commentator, as Alan Coombs, Juan Williams, and Bob Beckel are running out of left wing rants.

[Mears]

“Fredo, you’re nothing to me now.”

Another leftist shows the true murderous colors of totalitarian leftist fascism.

And what pray tell set Rob off this time?  The Tea Party hasn't had a big movement on recently.  Is the guy suffering from flashbacks?

“Butter! BUTTER!”
“W...wait, what did he say?”

“So anytime you’re dealing with an extreme group, you cannot negotiate with them, and they way to do it is to eliminate it,”

Behold the very definition of a bigot. Someone so self righteous, the is willing to kill people with a different opinion.
