WaPo's Kathleen Parker on CBS: Tea Parties 'Dangerous;' Internet Journalism 'Like Terrorism'
Newsbusters ^ | 4/19/10 | Kyle Drennan

Posted on 04/19/2010 6:10:28 PM PDT by pissant

On Sunday's Face the Nation on CBS, host Bob Schieffer asked columnist Kathleen Parker about her views on the tea party: "the rhetoric that's coming out from the right side, especially from the tea party....you think it may be dangerous." Parker replied: "this heated rhetoric and some of these words...that are pretty loaded, 'reload,' 'targeting'...there's a danger there."

Parker, syndicated with the Washington Post Writers Group, claimed she was not casting negative aspersions on the whole political movement: "I'm not saying the tea party people are violent or racist or any of that....I'm not saying that the tea partiers are bad people or dangerous," but warned: "I just think we have to be very vigilant....and be extremely careful, because I do think there is a lot of anger and it could become something else."

I think Ms. Parker has been into the hard cider again.

"I'm not saying the tea party people are violent or racist or any of that....I'm not saying that the tea partiers are bad people or dangerous,"

I'm not saying Kathleen Parker is a pedophile...

If she wasn’t a so-called “lady” I would have been harsh on her. LOL

Schieffer’s credibility is not so great. He has been a progressive/socialist his entire career and it shows in his flagrant left leaning bias.

"moments after warning of tea party extremism, Parker made this comparison:

"It's, sort of, like terrorism. You know, we don't know where to aim our bombs, so we can't go after a country because there are – you know, there's no one place to focus on it. And it's the same thing with – with the Internet. You can't really – you don't know who to go after."

THAT sounds intelligent, doesn't it" You know, you know......! Shades of Hillary and Caroline, etc.

What a surprise—a leftist who wants to criminalize anyone who disagrees.

Just another WH mouthpiece who got the memo on this month's talking points from Rahm. Unless you think it conincidence they all get the same idea about what to report on and talk about at once.

Kathleen Parker won an award for journalistic excellence.

That makes more sense once one understands that "journalism" has become "propaganda".

I’m astounded, OK really I’m not...

How much longer is it going to take until the MSM-Lame streamers collapse on themselves under the weight of the bias and lies?

Is it really possible that the leftist socialist media believes that THEY can spew hatred and it’s OK, but ignore and forget the unending crapola that was thrown out by them and their ILK at “W”?

The KOS Kiddies and DemonUnderGround slung so much vitriol and death threats, death wishes and all other filth, yet there were no great cautions about THEM...

I wish there was a “That Was Easy” button that would just vaporize them all...we win.

There WILL be a fight one way or another.

WE THE PEOPLE are coming for you FILTHY SOCIALISTS!

Hey Kathleen, guess what, we have reloaded and are targeting the MSM. It is our daily job to expose the lies, propaganda, far left media bias and blatant use of Alinksy tactics to "report the news". Little do you know that you and many like you will disappear when the communists have full control of the country and declare martial law. Is that what the MSM has been working so hard for all these years? Yes, we are in a Cold War with Obama and will not rest until he and his communist cadre are gone and America is restored.

Kathleen wants to think that the Tea Party folks are the problem and not the solution? ROFLMAO!

We moved to ‘The People’s Republik of Madistan’ when I was just shy of 10 years old. We had escaped that hell hole of Socialism called ‘Milwaukeestan’ because Dad had finally landed his First Good Job and we were movin’ on up.

Sterling Hall was bombed on August 24, 1970. My Dad took Sis and I to see the carnage and to show us up close and personal that A MAN HAD DIED because of the stupid hippies protesting the war.

Karlton Armstrong eventually returned, VICTORIOUS to ‘The People’s Republik of Madistan’ after his prison term and was allowed to open a business here!!

I hate this town. I can’t WAIT for the old dogs and the parents to pass on so I can get the hell OUT!

http://www.madison.com/library/LEE/sterlinghall.html

“On Aug. 24, 1970, at 3:42 a.m., the bomb, consisting of more than a ton of ammonium nitrate fertilizer soaked in fuel oil and packed in a Ford van, exploded outside Sterling Hall, killing a physics researcher and damaging 26 buildings.”

(Tim McVeigh before he was even BORN. Trust me; he studied the Sterling Hall bombing as a primer on how to destroy Oklahoma City.)

So, BITE ME, Kathleen. You and YOUR ilk ARE the enemy! Beotch.

She’s a four letter word that starts with the third letter in the alphabet. I saw the pathetic interview.

On the Tax Day Tea Party Rally in Grand Prairie Texas, I took video camera in hand and interviewed attendees. I did this knowing it would counter the media misrepresentaion of the Tea Partiers.

PLEASE FORWARD these links to anyone who has been lied to by the media and politicians about the Tea Party Movement, which of course is everybody.

Gee, I wonder how this fits with the New Orleans violence against those attending a Republican fund raiser last week? A couple viciously attacked by protesters gave the male a broken jaw, nose and concussion and the lady suffered a leg broken in four places when she was stomped after being pushed to the ground. Another couple barely made it to the safety of a cab. Not Blacks, not muggers but a mob of anti-Republican party, pro-Marxist anarchists. The MSM (except for Fox and local coverage) has ignored it -- guess it doesn't fit with their "only Tea-Party attendees are violent" scenarios.
