Rachel Maddow - Field Guide to Tea Partiers - Ezra Klein

[hulsey1976]

Amazing. The Left paints everyone associated with a Tea Party group with the same broad stereotyping brush, and then criticizes the Tea Party for being fragmented and not having a unified ideology to make them all the same. Only in the media can such paradoxes exist.

Yet no violence from the tea party and no racism shown goes uncontested. It is sad when the only claim they have to racism is how not racist they are. The only claim to violence they have is portrayed against them. sad state of affairs when you have to force feed accusations for years on end. Notice who are turning violent are the people dependent on government to pay for their lives. Against the people who make it possible.

Mmmm angry fat old white men never seemed more funny. Tea party should be sponsored by Denny's

She's more masculine than Keif Oldmann, right? "A queer by the name of Muldoon, Took a Lesbian up to his room. They argued all night, As to who had the right, To do What and with Which and to Whom."

Wow talk about cotton picking ..I mean cherry picking..

The only republican that I can stand is Ron Paul. I may not agree with some of his views, but at least he is civil about debate and I can truly see he stands by what he says.

I wonder if Maddow is as confused about the November 2nd 2010 mid-term election results as she seems to be in this goofy TV bit. I doubt that Maddow and many posters here made the the trip to the September 2009 Tax March on Washington. Too bad. At 1.5 million people and tens of millions more who couldn't make it, the D.C. Park Service said it was the biggest turnout in the history of the country.

That's not disorganized, Rachel... that's ORGANIZED... and the saga continues in 2012.

The US Constitution is sooooo old...

Cant take a lesbian seriously

[StartLoving3]

@AndrewFilmsInc, can't take a stupid bigot seriously. Bye.

This tea party thing is just a bit dumb. I went to a rally in raleigh a long time ago and found most of the people a bit uninformed and just a bit crazy. They don't like taxes, they don't like social programs and they don't seem to know why. I saw tons of people yelling about communism, nazism and the government takeover of just about everything. But, they could not explain why they thought these things were coming about or even how. These people are a mess.

I don't believe he's lost affiliation.

So good, Rachel. Thank you!

[billyshake]

@greggie83 She's the best politico out there, hands-down. Though I suppose in this sea of pundit idiots, it wasn't too hard for her to stand out. Outside of Rand Paul turning on her (for reasons of his own making), the vast majority of her right leaning guests have said she's -- dare I say it? -- fair and balanced. And she is. I just wish others would follow her lead.
