Left Initiates Campaign against Tea Party
A Semi-News/Semi-Satire from AzConservative ^ | 14 August 2010 | John Semmens

Posted on 08/15/2010 1:25:28 PM PDT by John Semmens

Left wing activist Erica Payne denounced the “Tea Party” for “bringing disrespect of our government and our president to new levels of depravity. They are against everything that is good in America.” Saying “the time for reasoned debate is over,” Payne urged “all right thinking people to put aside tolerance of different opinions and stick it to these Neanderthals.”

Payne said she finds the Tea Party’s anti-tax stand particularly “dangerous.” “Taxes are the key to taking resources from the hands of selfish individuals and placing them in the hands of government where they can do some good,” Payne contended. “The argument that people need this money to feed their families is bogus. Americans are way too fat. If higher taxes make them eat less we’ll all be better off.”

In contrast to what she characterized as “an over-fed, over-housed, over-clothed American population, the government is starved for the resources it needs to create a more wholesome lifestyle for future generations,” Payne argued. “If all these decisions could be centralized under one authority there would be a more efficient and equitable distribution of the Earth’s bounty. Superfluous expenditures aimed at catering to individual eccentricities would be curbed and a more cost-effective uniform pattern of consumption could be imposed.”

Payne is a former Democratic National Committee member. She previously founded other organizations like the “Democracy Alliance,” a well-heeled group of liberal donors whose have invested over $100 million in so-called “progressive organizations.”

Great, let the left spend every resource then got trying to go against the Tea Party.

Driving them broke isn’t a bad thing.

She keeps talking like that she is going to really help our cause. People that think like her are disgusting. I’ve never beaten a woman but this lady comes the closest to deserving it.

Yes, it is satire. But at first it sounded just like Janeane Garofalo.

I know this is supposed to be satire, the sad thing is I've actually heard people talk like this on the streets of Chicago no less, where I work.

Not just the streets, in the office, on the train, on the bus, you name it.

It's getting scary out here...
