MSNBC Derides Tea Party Activism in 'Angry White Voters' Segment as Failed 'Amateur Politics'
Newsbusters ^ | December 24, 2009 | Jeff Poor

In keeping with the tradition of the holidays - the minds at MSNBC, the place for politics if you're of the lefty persuasion, decided rate the top 10 political stories of the decade.

And leading this gang of masters of political journalism universe was "Hardball" host Chris Matthews, who on the broadcast of his Dec. 24 program, announced that conservative activism, mainly the tea party movement was the eighth biggest story of the decade - but labeled "angry white voters" (emphasis added).

"Welcome back to 'Hardball' - our number eight political story of the decade, angry whites at town hall meetings across the country," Matthews said. "Lawmakers heard the wrath of angry voters."

Tea party folks are very scary to the left. They continue to refer to us a tea baggers (look it up, not pretty) and we refuse to take the bait.

We are the folks who are hoping for the best and preparing for the worst. ManChild boy who is residing at the WH would have no idea what to do if we decided that we were tired of hoping for the best and took things to the next level.

Enough of that for now. Please see my tagline. A very Merry Christmas to everyone on FR. May God bless you all.

I’m shaking my head at liberals and their reverse racism. They love to spread racial discord to divide and conquer.

As far as the tea parties being one of the top political stories of the decade, I think that’s an honor. Even the lefities recognize the significance of them despite the fact they are mocking them.

I understand that a nonwhite guy like Chris Mathews would throw the race card at anyone that dared to comment upon any detrimental aspect of a member of his own race.

Let me attempt to intervene: Yo Chris! It’s cool man. We are wit ya bro!

There are two kinds of liberals; the smart ones who know exactly what they are doing, and the stupid drones who haven't a clue.

Both types will repeat the same lies/talking points...the "veneer" of their real agenda.

Racist is becoming a joke to where any mention of any term with the color black is called racist.

My bet: Marching orders have come down to the presses to step up the insulting and prodding of patriots.

Actually, you don’t have to say “black” or “African American.” All you have to do is disagree with Obama and/or his socialist policies; you are immediately labeled racist.

The jerks at MSNBC have no idea what’s coming in the spring, summer and fall!!

As the campaign ramps up and we get within 6 months of the election, the left will become demoralized and the patriots will become more inspired!!

I myself think that "a talking, two legged zit" was always a pretty charitable description of him too.

MSNBC zombies are so full of hate, they’ve become unhinged. See you Tea Party Patriots on 15 April 2010 in Washington DC!!!!

My favorite sign from the tea parties said; “we’ve come unarmed- THIS TIME”. The founders rebelled against king george over much less than we are being subjected to.

What is MSNBC, exactly? Am I supposed to have heard of it?

Microsoft Network Biscuit Cutters?

Midgets Spewing Non-Believable Crap?

Not sure, exactly.

So are they suggesting that we are in for a race war? Not exactly the post-racial President we thought, huh?

No, no, that doesn’t sound familiar.

Seems like a good place to show off some pics of the local tea party back in september. (Plus one great photo of our fearless leader Jim Robinson)

I would like to see the “Tea Party” evolve into the “Antifederalist Party” (though never actually form a real, live split-the-vote party).
