Congressman Steve Cohen of Memphis teed off on the Tea Party movement in a Thursday night radio interview attracting national attention.

The two-term Democratic congressman said the Tea Party — "without hoods and robes" — has shown an angry, hardcore side of America that's against any type of diversity.

“We saw opposition to African-Americans, hostility toward gays, hostility to anybody who wasn’t just, you know, a clone of George Wallace’s fan club,” he said on The Young Turks, an Internet and satellite radio talk show.

We see flaming socialists/marxists who are trying to use Saul Alinsky tactics in order to deflect attention away from the unconstitutional,socialist health care agenda that is rapidly losing support by the day.

If the term "useful idiots" described anyone, it would be the Young Turks.

Is that guy related to Waxman? Or has he just had his nose pressed into that shape by being against Hussein’s backside so hard and so often?

You can count their listeners on one, maybe both hands.

The next rational thought that crosses Steve Cohen’s mind will be the first. This is the guy that fought for the most regressive tax there is (a lottery) to “fund higher education.”

Cohen must have received that memo to tell him what words he should use. Notice how most of the Dems are saying the same thing.

Where will he go when he loses his seat?

He's too stupid to be hired in business.

I know, a jobs program will snarf him up!

Another jerk who wouldn’t recognize a tea party. Must have been in a congressional black caucus meeting. Such ignorance from someone who should really know better. Nice to know what we are dealing with. Makes things just a little easier.
