It does not require a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority keen to set brush fires in people's minds.
...got a match? :-)
And this is another good story.
Why do they care so much? Is there nothing better for them to write about? This is getting a little weird, their obsession with the TEA party movement.
Jourbalist BS is right.
This is just the chatterclatura using the LA Times for a blog. They’re talking to each other.
“...and significantly more affluent and better educated than the majority of Americans.”
Wait! I thought the media said tea partiers were uneducated morons. Now they are highly educated and affluent. So which is it? The media needs to get their stories straight. Or is this a new strategy?
The more lies I read and see, the more pissed off I get. The more they brutalize Salin Palin and her children, the more I get involved and the more checks I write.
Their propaganda is counter productive. Its akin to shooting POWs in a time of war.
The usual attempt to marginalize 'Tea Party' members/supporters as mostly upper-middle class, well-educated, middle aged white men who are 'angry' is rubbish - and the L.A. Times hack that authored this article, knows it.
Part of the rationale for this kind of pap is to persuade those who may be sympathetic to the goals of the Tea Party activists that this a 'fringe' group and you don't belong there. The rest is an attempt to convince themselves that the Tea Party is irrelevant and nothing for the oh-so brilliant leftists to fear.
They need to do this because the political left and the media hacks that publish their propaganda (like this L.A. Times piece) know full well that they're supporting a president and congress that is pushing the country toward European socialism as fast as they can while dropping our defenses and torpedoing the U.S. economy with insane spending policies.
This used to be called 'whistling past the graveyard'. Now, it's just standard leftist propaganda. Lies and smears intended to convince people that the Tea Party is nothing to worry about. They wish. November 2nd can't come soon enough.
It is AMAZING how much energy the “journalists” are using to spin the TEA Party Movement.
How about “observe and REPORT observations”? it almost sounds “scientific”...

A Harley biker is riding by the zoo in Washington , DC when he sees a little girl leaning into the lion's cage.
Suddenly, the lion grabs her by the cuff of her jacket and tries to pull her inside to slaughter her, under the eyes of her screaming parents.
The biker jumps off his Harley, runs to the cage and hits the lion square on the nose with a powerful punch.
Whimpering from the pain the lion jumps back letting go of the girl, and the biker brings her to her terrified parents, who thank him endlessly. A reporter has watched the whole event.
The reporter addressing the Harley rider says, 'Sir, this was the most gallant and brave thing I've seen a man do in my whole life.'
The Harley rider replies, 'Why, it was nothing, really, the lion was behind bars. I just saw this little kid in danger and acted as I felt right.'
The reporter says, 'Well, I'll make sure this won't go unnoticed. I'm a journalist, you know, and tomorrow's paper will have this story on the front page... So, what do you do for a living and what political affiliation do you have?'
The biker replies, 'I'm a U.S. Marine and a Republican.' The journalist leaves.
The following morning the biker buys the paper to see if it indeed brings news of his actions, and reads, on the front page:
U.S. MARINE ASSAULTS AFRICAN IMMIGRANT AND STEALS HIS LUNCH
That pretty much sums up the media's approach to the news these days.
Anyone who gets his “information” from the LA Times is in danger of being an ignoramus.
Guess CBS Moues is going to have to get rid of Bob Schieffer, who seemed to think 18% of the electorate (and growing) was a pretty big deal instead. Bob, call your office -- Stiletto-Heels Katie says you're fired.
The MSM ignorance is going to bite itself. Let them look like idiots...I have no problem with it.
A claim that is in direct contradiction with the poll that showed 24% of Americans identified themselves a Tea Partiers...which is much higher than 20% supporting in any respect...but again, facts are nasty little things that just get in the way of a good lie.
