Can science explain Tea Party rage? [another "study"]

Well, of course. That’s why it cyclically devolves into gunfire and mass State murder when they really, really, really want their whiny way.

Last week, Moyers & Company caught up with Mother Jones science writer Chris Mooney, host of the Inquiring Minds podcast and author of The Republican Brain: the Science of Why They Deny Science – and Reality, to talk about what this research may tell us about the attitudes of those involved in the tea party movement.

So we don't believe the left's made up "science" that has been exposed as fake through their own admissions.

[Fledermaus]

Bill Moyers never made a dime in the private sector. He’s a sexist, racist, homophobe.

History proves this.

I remember the 2012 Democratic Convention, someone referred to the government as “family.” If that isn’t a symptom of mental illness, I don’t know what is.

[The_Reader_David]

Yes, that is rather funny.

I think the left, typical Salon readers included, have all convinced themselves that the Tea Party is just the “Moral Majority” repackaged, and fancy that upholding traditional sexual morality (they think about sex too much of the time) is “authoritarian” — not the point of the Tea Party at all, though lots of Tea Party supporters also want to uphold traditional sexual morality — while regulating minutely all aspects of human behaviour other than sex is somehow “anti-authoritarian”.

“Joshua Holland: Chris, let’s talk about morality. I’m personally offended by the tea partiers’ resistance to giving uninsured people health care.”

I’m personally offended that you won’t give me the keys to your new car when I have none. And I’d use the car more often than people would go to see a doctor.

Give the grant then take away the money and watch liberal rage.

[Prospero]

I can guess what the bloated Moyers has to say without reading it. Lyndon Johnson's lackey and his fevered dream world stay the same through the ages.

All I might have to say the Bill, were I to cross his path, is "repent and believe the Gospel. Time is short."

[windsorknot]

Is it like the rage of a Bill Ayers?

[Teacher317]

I love how they assign "rage" to the Tea party for having occasional rallies... while the Leftist activists bomb, obstruct, sabotage logging and oil facilities, attack opposing speakers, etc etc etc... but the old farts holding up signs are the ones with "rage" issues.

Good old projection. A staple of the Left for a century.

The only good thing I can say about Obama is he appears to love his children.

And his dog. Don't forget that. However, if I recall correctly, even Hitler liked dogs.

[GeronL]

Obama likes dogs, with ketchup

“BillMoyers.com,” the point at which I quit reading.
