You can’t spell “hate” without “T,” “E” and “A.”
This has been the media meme on the Tea Party movement from the beginning. Since the day of Rick Santelli’s cable-TV rant in support of capitalism, the default assumption of the left has been that Americans who show up to protest the Obama administration are all just one pillow case and pair of scissors away from joining the Klan.
If it were merely poor reporting, that would be bad enough. But the cry of racism is being used against these concerned citizens, not because it’s true, but because it’s an effective way to intimidate and marginalize President Barack Obama’s political opponents.
The more time Obamacare defenders spend shouting “bigot,” the less time they have to spend trying to explain the unworkable math of their new bureaucratic boondoggle.
Which is why the O-bots of MSNBC have made a cottage industry out of stereotyping protesters as, to quote one of the network’s frequent guests, Janeane Garofalo, “white supremacists” and “teabagging rednecks.” And the media’s current obsession with allegations - most uncorroborated - that an idiot or two shouted a racial slur during last weekend’s protests of the Obamacare vote is straight from their playbook.
Is it possible that among the tens of thousands of protesters, someone did something stupid and offensive? Of course. What does that prove about the 60 percent of all Americans who share the Tea Partiers’ opposition to Obamacare?
If every Obamacare opponent is going to be held responsible for the ignorant rantings of a single lunatic, does that mean Obama supporters are responsible for Keith Olbermann?
Liberal elites angered by the mere existence of the Tea Party movement...

Janeane Garofalo is a carpet munching commie. No slur is too big, no exaggeration too large to stop Janeane from mouthing it.

Isn’t that cute. Typical of childish Leftists. Whoever came up with this one undoubtedly plays with a rubber ducky in their bubblebath.
