Kathleen Parker: The Tea Fragger Party
The Washington Post ^ | July 29, 2011 | Kathleen Parker

Fragging: “To intentionally kill or wound (one’s superior officer, etc.), esp. with a hand grenade.”

Take names. Remember them. The behavior of certain Republicans who call themselves Tea Party conservatives makes them the most destructive posse of misguided “patriots” we’ve seen in recent memory.

If the nation defaults on its financial obligations, the blame belongs to the Tea Party Republicans who fragged their own leader, John Boehner. They had victory in their hands and couldn’t bring themselves to support his debt-ceiling plan, which, if not perfect, was more than anyone could have imagined just a few months ago. No new taxes, significant spending cuts, a temporary debt-ceiling solution with the possibility of more spending cuts down the line as well as action on their beloved balanced-budget amendment to the Constitution.

These people wouldn’t recognize a hot fudge sundae if the cherry started talking to them....

(She is not anywhere near this attractive. There is about 3 handfuls of Vaseline on the camera lens to get her to look this good.)

I don't know....Spitz looks like he has a boner...oh, wait, never mind.

This foul turd Parker is still around? I thought she disappeared after Spitzer gave her a spanking and told her she was old and fat.

Arianna Parker is a lousy writer whose IQ is slightly higher than that of a groundhog. An inbred groundhog.

“yes, not all Democrats are evil”

Wrong, Any group that not only supports, but champions the whole sale slaughter of unborn children, the destruction of our sovereignty through massive illegal immigration, the bankrupting of our great republic through the massive spending of other peoples money are by definition EVIL or willfully ignorant. I tell them outright, I do not appreciate what your Pro-slavery, Pro-abortion,Pro-illegal Alien, Insane party has done to my country.

I do not associate with them, I do not interact with them unless forced.

They are Evil and until we star

No one can look at the past two days and not realize Boehner cannot control his own caucus. The inmates are running the asylum in the House. Assuming this is settled by midnight Aug 2, this absolutely will harm legislative efforts over the next 18 months.

Boehner believed, and said so publicly more than once, the nearer this was brought to the Aug 2 deadline the LESS leverage the GOP would have. And, as we'll see in the next couple of days, he was absolutely correct and we'll get the worst plan imaginable.

Establishment Republicans are starting to realize that the TEA Party activists aren’t kidding when they say they put country ahead of Party. The stupid, old countryclubbers thought that they could dupe the hicks in fly-over country; that they could vote with their DNC pals and still get the yokels to reelect them. Now they’re getting pissy because the rank-and-file actually expect them to act like conservatives.

OMG. Hey Kathleen...the bill passed the House...you know..where the TEA party representatives, elected by the people, reside?

So far today alone I’ve seen nasty attacks on Laura Ingraham, Ambrose Evans-Pritchard, and Col Allen West because they won’t march in lockstep on this issue.

Parker is making a fair point.

"Parker is making a fair point."

Making a rhyme to "TEA bagger" is a fair point? HMMM Kay./s

The Bill did pass the House with TEA party support. This looks like a really slimey, uniformed and or disingenuous slam/smear to me.

Typical idiot girl.

Don’t blame the cheating boyfriend. Take it out on the one who exposes him.

I had to google to find that poll. It’s enlightening to read the other questions to see how left tilted CNN poll takers are, and STILL 3/4 of them want a balanced budget amendment.

We’ve verified what we’ve all known all along, the mythical “debt ceiling” is the holy grail of statist politics. To attack it is heresy.

March in lock step?

What part of “play to win” don’t you get?

This whole Tea Party smear is nothing but cowards excusing cowards for being cowards.

Would to God our side had HALF the testicular fortitude of the Democrats!

Kathleen Parker: Pick up the red phone in the lobby. Your brains have been fragged. I repeat, your brains have been fragged.

Yeah, well, we can recognize a steaming pile of dog crap when it starts writing for The Washington Post.
