“To the Honorable William D. Snyder; You better just stop that ridiculous law if you value you rand your familie’s lives ashole.”
The “political activist”, Manuel Pintado, attends the University of Massachusetts. The University has been silent on his spelling and grammar mistakes.
Good to see the left is maintaining a civil discussion of the issues and not falling into a rhetoric of hate…or not…
I. PALIN HATE II. BUSH HATE III. MISC. TEA PARTY/GOP/ANTI-TRADITIONAL MARRIAGE HATE IV. ANTI-CONSERVATIVE FEMALE HATE V. LEFT-WING MOB HATE — campus, anti-war radicals, ACORN, eco-extremists, & unions VI. OPEN-BORDERS HATE VII. ANTI-MILITARY HATE VIII. HATE: CRIMES — the ever-growing Unhinged Mugshot Collection
It’s an excellent resource to counter the non-factual talking point leftists spout about “most of the hate coming from the right.”
Time for another exciting chapter of “When democrats Attack!”
Let us start with a bit of “blue on blue” action.
Rep. Carnahan, democrat from Missouri, had his office firebombed. Of course, the open minded and tolerant liberals blamed someone from the “Tea Party,” despite there being absolutely no history of violence from that group.
He obviously has a low view of serfs daring to ask him questions. He forgets that here in America, the “serfs” are free citizens, and he bloody well is answerable to them. Hopefully, November will bring some change to North Carolina and this clown will be looking for a new job.
If you listen to CNN/MSNBC/etc, you would think the people who attend Tea Party protests are a bunch of racist, violent militia members. The MSM is desperately trying to portray them as an “out of touch” fringe element.
Well, the actual truth is quite a bit different. According to this recent poll, Tea Party members are a pretty fair representation of America.
The national breakdown of the Tea Party composition is 57 percent Republican, 28 percent Independent and 13 percent Democratic, according to three national polls by the Winston Group, a Republican-leaning firm that conducted the surveys on behalf of an education advocacy group. Two-thirds of the group call themselves conservative, 26 are moderate and 8 percent say they are liberal.
…
The group is united around two issues – the economy/jobs and reducing the deficit. They believe that cutting spending is the key to job creation and favor tax cuts as the best way to stimulate the economy. That said 61 percent of Tea Party members believe infrastructure spending creates jobs. Moreover, given the choice Tea Party members favor 63-32 reducing unemployment to 5 percent over balancing the budget.
Tea Party supporters skew right politically; but demographically, they are generally representative of the public at large. That’s the finding of a USA Today/Gallup poll conducted March 26-28, in which 28% of U.S. adults call themselves supporters of the Tea Party movement.
Tea Party supporters are decidedly Republican and conservative in their leanings. Also, compared with average Americans, supporters are slightly more likely to be male and less likely to be lower-income.
In several other respects, however — their age, educational background, employment status, and race — Tea Partiers are quite representative of the public at large.
Ed Morrissey of Hot Air points out “The educational background of Tea Party followers almost exactly matches that of the general population. Among age demos, the differences between the two are no more than two points for any of the four categories used by Gallup. The same is true of employment profiles, although ironically Tea Party followers tend slightly more to be employed full-time than not.” He continues on to note that Fox News is gaining viewers, while the left leaning MSNBC & CNN, who have been bashing the Tea party members non-stop, are loosing views at an accelerated rate. Could this trend have something to do with those left leaning “news” organizations demonizing the people who watch them?
On major issues, 48% of voters say that the average Tea Party member is closer to their views than President Barack Obama. The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey found that 44% hold the opposite view and believe the president’s views are closer to their own.
Not surprisingly, Republicans overwhelmingly feel closer to the Tea Party and most Democrats say that their views are more like Obama’s. Among voters not affiliated with either major political party, 50% say they’re closer to the Tea Party while 38% side with the President.
That’s right, more people agree with the Tea Party movement than our Dear Leader. There is literally enough on the liberal media bias on this subject to fill a book. Even given all these facts, I don’t expect MSNBC, CNN, ABC News or CBS News to discontinue their efforts to dehumanize members of the Tea Party movement. Their goals, and the goals of most of America, just don’t match up anymore.
Update: Compare and contrast: Tea Party protest and leftist protest. At the Tea Party, you have a peaceful demonstration with a multi-racial crowd calling for a return to the principles of the Founding Fathers. At the leftist demonstration, you have racists calling for violence against minorities, people holding up signs supporting murdering communist thugs and 9/11 Troofers. Which one do you thing better represents most Americans?
Ask most people on the right on why they don’t like our Dear Leader and most will be able to articulate specific policy issues they disagree with. OK, often they sum it up with “He’s a Socialist,” but when pressed, they can cite actual policies and give details.
Ask a typical hater of Gov. Sarah Palin why they don’t like her, and most can, at best, deliver quotes made by Tina Fey, and try to attribute them to Gov. Palin. If you press them for details, they tend to get angry and often blame you for attempting to insert reality into their irrational hatred that makes them feel all warm and fuzzy.
