Sometimes statements are taken out of context, simply watch Ed Schultz on MSNBC. As for the statements below that is not the case as the people who made them were quite clear about their true feelings. There is no question that the world of politics is never short of disagreement, debate and even double talk. It comes with the territory and it’s understood. Quite frankly, I think most people are OK with this. That being said, what is not acceptable is blatant vitriol. And that is exactly what we have below from prominent Democrats.
- “The Tea Party is a new name on an old game… Dr. King fought a ‘tea party’ in Alabama.” – Rev. Jessie Jackson
- “If sane Republicans do not stand up to this Hezbollah faction in their midst, the Tea Party will take the G.O.P. on a suicide mission.” – Thomas Friedman of The New York Times
- “This small group of terrorists have made it impossible to spend any money,” – Rep. Mike Doyle (D-PA) *Sentiments apparently echoed by Vice President Biden, though his comments were not caught publicly, but rather behind closed doors.
- “Let us all remember who the real enemy is. The real enemy is the Tea Party,” – Rep. Frederica Wilson (D-FL).
- “And as far as I’m concerned, the tea party can go straight to hell.” – Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) *Most of the audio footage which made the rounds on television left out the part where Waters stated something to the effect of: and I’m going to help them get there.
Let me be clear, I am a Tea Party supporter. Yeah, that’s right; I said it (as the great one Mark Levin would say)! To some people, like Janeane Garofalo, that means I am a racist. To people like Thomas Friedman I am apart of the Hezbollah faction of the Republican Party. Forgive me, but hateful comments like these is the real problem my friends, not the Tea Party. To be honest I have seen zero evidence to support the claims made by Garofalo. If you have please email me any videos or sound bites as I would love to see it. It’s time that those on the far left realize their comments are causing real harm, more than anything else.
”We need to execute people like (John Walker Lindh) in order to physically intimidate liberals.”
—Ann Coulter
”My only regret with Timothy McVeigh is he did not go to the New York Times Building.”
—Ann Coulter
”Carbon dioxide is portrayed as harmful. But there isn’t even one study that can be produced that shows that carbon dioxide is a harmful gas.”
—Rep. Michelle Bachmann, April, 2009
First, let me explain why I only posted three of your quotes. I initially allowed all your spin, but changed my mind because I can do that, this is my website. My reasoning, though, is because you did not provide what I asked for. My question was to provide evidence substantiating Garofalo’s claim that the Tea Party is racist. You have provided no such evidence! As for your baby killer quote, well, that is what an abortion is. Being pro-choice places a woman’s right to choose over the life of a child with a legit heart beat, something detected 4 – 5 weeks into a pregnancy. But hey, who cares about a heart beat right? Lastly, most of your Rush hate is misplaced because much of what he says is taken out context by the left and you know it. Who are you kidding Alisun… you don’t even listen to his show. You merely regurgitate one liners ignoring context. The side you represent my friend, is the side that says things like “Rush should be executed for treason” (Radio Host Stephanie Miller on Larry King). Conservatives don’t say things like that. Satire is one thing, but serious comments w/ no humor attached like Maxine Waters’ is another. It’s funny, Jon Stewart’s satire is acceptable to you, but Coulter’s is not. Hmmm.
I am a PROUD supporter of the TEA Party. Of course Liberals will not like the idea of the Tea Party, it goes against everything they believe in, FREEDOM. The liberals believe in Socialism at its finest. But that too they will disagree with, they are not Socialists, is what they claim. But lets get real, OBAMACARE is a socialist idea, Welfare, socialist idea, etc…… Need i say more?
