Tea Party Persecution...Why?

[Lumpy 1]

You would think that a group that believe the government should follow the Constitution, reduce the national debt, lower taxes, reduce government waste and corruption and have fiscally responsible government..would be popular, instead their persecuted by the left and the left want-to-Be's....

 

[Mad_Cabbie]

Because they have no compunction whatsoever about telling us "commies" that they are the only true Americans and they are entirley clueless as to how completely self absorbered their hateful rhetoric comes accross to the rest of the country.

That's why.

 

[R.C. Christian]

They try to warp into a racial hated based thing and a d terrorist thing.

It's not just the left...it's anyone who fears the status quo being attacked.

 

[Mad_Cabbie]

Plus, it's the whole "were going to force the Republicans to take a step backwards" thing.
Just calling it like I see it - maybe I'm wrong?

 

[Sunni Man]

It's because the Tea Party isn't under the Democrat's umbrella and so they must be vilified and attacked by the liberals without mercy. ..

Well, if I were an incumbant republican and I lost my seat all because some completely unqualified yaho got the backing of the Koch brothers, I would not hardly be blaming the dems now, would I?

Sincerity test:

If you think yourself to be a liberal or a progressive have you turned off PBS and forbidden your issue to watch it?

Remember, much of the programming is sponsored by The Koch Brothers.

If you haven't why not?

So it follows that both Democrats and establishment Republicans like their free stuff, corruption, waste and going down the road to socialism even if it dooms the future of the country, the younger generations and obliterates the middle-class.

It's because they deserve it.

 

[R.C. Christian]

It's because they deserve it.

Ah, so certain Americans should be persecuted for their beliefs. Can you make a list for us?

They're all drunk on power and actually believe that they can continue to control the runaway train.

Persecuted isn't the correct word. Ridiculed, yes.

Liberals?

They seem to get a **** load of grief.

 

[R.C. Christian]

If I'm going to be persecuted and have my windows broken I had better at least get some snazzy flair.

You are confusing ridicule with persecution. You call me a commie and I call you a fascist. That is ridicule. Trying to stop people from voting is persecution. The Tea Party can't tell the difference.

 

[R.C. Christian]

And the same could be said for the democratic party. Both try ways to dissuade voting by intimidation or other tactics.

 

[Vandalshandle]

The Tea Party is so clueless and ignorant that it makes me think of the Moral Majority as representing the "good old days".

Right, like claiming 'voter fraud" and passing voter ID laws and other helpful stuf.

 

[aaronleland]

In some cases the Tea Party deserves the ridicule they receive. I would have respect for them if they stuck to a message of fiscal conservatism and small government. Instead you have the loudest people in the group bitching about things like birth certificates and vacations.
