Senator Demands Media Take Harsher Stance toward Tea Party
A Semi-News/Semi-Satire from AzConservative ^ | 5 August 2011 | John Semmens

Posted on 08/06/2011 12:22:06 PM PDT by John Semmens

Arguing that Tea Party conservatives are “an impediment to the proper governance of this country,” Senator John Kerry (D-Mass) demanded the media stop “propping these nuts up.”

“It’s one thing for Democrats and Republicans to have respectful disagreements over how much spending or taxes should be increased,” Kerry said. “It’s another thing entirely when outsiders who have no idea how Washington works to interfere with the governing process by trying to impose their twisted vision of an America where government is denied the powers it needs to meet the people’s needs.”

Kerry criticized the media for “failing to point out that the Tea Party’s opposition to higher deficits, spending and taxes is ignorant and demented. I mean, treating the remarks of someone like Senator Paul as if they are serious contributions to the debate over our country’s future is irresponsible. If they aren’t going to get behind those of us who are taking a responsible position on the issues we may need to look at implementing a greater degree of regulatory oversight on what they broadcast.”

In related news, the Obama Administration announced a new initiative against online extremism. “As events of the last week have shown, anti-government extremists were nearly successful in their bid to prevent an increase in the debt ceiling,” observed Press Secretary Jay Carney. “This type of terrorism is exacerbated by virtually costless communication over the Internet and Twitter. The President’s approval of a stepped up surveillance of traffic in these media will enable a more timely and forceful intervention to suppress this threat in the future.”

Yup! Following the lead of the founders for limited government is now a threat, terrorism, extremist, yada, yada, yada.

At one time such suggestions would rank right up there with the N word or K word for Jews but now, it is just Progressives, doing what Progressives do and that is a systematic dismantling of our Constitutionally protected right to free speech.

Kerry seems to be concerned that the 2 party good ole boy network might get exposed by people who care a hell of a lot more for this country than for their party.

The prez wants more surveillance of traffic so as to intervene and suppress. My how nice! Big Brother on the march and thanks to Progressives they will be successful in line by line eliminating every protection guaranteed by the US Constitution until it looks like the old Soviet Union Constitution in which everything was forbidden except that which was allowed by the state. Nice what they have done to the once proud USA.

Anyone who votes for either of these two Marxists are traitors to the country, the constitution, the founders and the rest of us.

Kerry should remember that treason has no statute of limitations. He could still be tried, convicted, and hanged, even if it’s from his death bed.

It’s scary that even the most extreme satire about libtards can sound true.

You got me there for a second.
I was about ready to make up a dozen TEA Party postcards for John Effin Kerry.

Well done! Totally could have been true!

Yeah, too bad about that freedom of speech thing in the Constitution, huh John.

Bet Genghis Khan didn't have to deal with such inconvenient BS like that.

Sucks to be you. Those darn ol' tea partiers are just messing everything up.

According to Senator Kerry it's nuts and extremism to have a budget and stick to it. Welcome to the Tea Party and meet the real world President Obama and Senator Kerry, Not the imaginations you were taught in college.
