Why They Hate
The American Spectator ^ | April 30, 2010 | Matt Purple

Posted on 04/30/2010 4:04:15 AM PDT by Scanian

Former ACORN president Bertha Lewis must have been in a foul mood last month. Once the queen bee of the community organizing left, Lewis had watched ACORN come crashing down around her, destroyed by two young college students with a video camera. Her eyes smoldering, Lewis took to the podium at a Democratic Socialists of America gathering and lit into the Tea Parties of late.

"This is not rhetoric or hyperbole -- this is real," she thundered. "This rise of this Tea Party so-called movement -- bowel movement in my estimation -- and this blatant uncovering and ripping off the mask of racism."

What is it about the Tea Parties that sends the left into paroxysms of rage? Lewis

Go Bertha! A thousand people in the street...power to the people!

But to Bertha these are the wrong people! She hates them because of their race perhaps?

The left considers that the “streets” belong to them. They have demonstrated and marched in the streets, many times, violently, from the 1960s to today and are very intolerant of Grandma's and Grandpa's carrying homemade signs to those same streets to protest the shredding of our Constitution and the attempts to turn our nation in a Marxist state. The tea party marches are peaceful and effective. The vicious left cannot stand that. Also, the left is not about a rational “cause” for their beliefs. They are about money and power, stealing it, if necessary and they want to enslave the population to be used for their ends. The end justifies the means..Did you see the swat team sent out against those peaceful old folk’s who were demonstrating the other day at an Obama townhall meeting? Any American who saw that must have had their hair stand on end. WHAT IS GOING ON IN WASHINGTON D.C.?????

No chicken within 100 miles is safe when Big Bertha rides into town looking for a meal.

The entire left, from the scribes at the New Republic to the talking heads on MSNBC, have been driven mad by a handful of relatively peaceful demonstrators.

Handful? The largest uprisings of "We the People" in the history of our country and they are a handful?
Relatively peaceful? 1.5 million ++ marching in DC on 9-12 without one incident is "relatively" peaceful?

In fairness, there's been plenty of derision from conservatives directed at, say, anti-war demonstrators during the Bush years.

Hmmmmm, when have one of the commies from the enemedia ever made a statement "in fairness" in one of their diatribes? There are reasons we continue to lose the PR battle.

"This rise of this Tea Party so-called movement -- bowel movement in my estimation -- and this blatant uncovering and ripping off the mask of racism."

This disgusting line, and the one who let it spew from her pie hole, should be the subject of many screeds from the so-called new media, without the "in fairness" caveat.

Did you see the swat team sent out against those peaceful old folk’s who were demonstrating the other day ...

Yes, I did. What I did not see was any logical reason for SWAT to ushered out as a show of force. The last time I saw the SWAT team was in March 2008 at a recruiting station on 13th street -- 6 blocks from the WH. There were approximately 200 far left-wing, anti-war maniacal nut jobs marching in the street and throwing red paint bombs at the recruiting station, also hitting the police force and the FReepers standing behind them.

THIS is what happens when the commies "demonstrate"

anti-war BS

ACORN members and others like them hate America because they've been indoctrinated to do so.

Instead of knowing that families/individuals make it here incrementally, they want instant gratification for free.

Note to them --> No one makes it up the ladder without paying the price for success.

e.g. my LEGAL immigrant parents had 7 children... we all worked hard to get scholarships and completed college.

my parents have 12 grandchildren ... 10 of them have completed college... 2 are presently in college

every family member helped/helps with education costs

and all of those who graduated have jobs

now... there are 6 great grandchildren to educate

only 2 are in private elementary school... we all chip in to help their parents pay for the cost

trolls who visit this forum ... that's how success happens in this country... unless your Bill Gates or Oprah who in addition to their brains and talent had alot of sh*t house luck

and don't be jealous of them because they most likely paid a high price for their absolute success...

It drives the Left crazy that the Tea Party protesters don’t have a leader. No one is telling us what to do. We are all coming to the same conclusions BY OURSELVES!

Free thinking people - Oh the horror.

bowel movement in my estimation

I have lately observed a marked increase in something that socialist, liberals, progressives, and a great number of Democrats do routinely.

They spend more time trying to be clever with words than they spend facing reality. They believe that clever words provide permission to ignore the reality of the facts.

Libs took the election of Obama on false premises. They thought the election of The Great Spreader finally dealt a death blow to conservatism. “We’re all socialists now” as Newspeak crowed, so on and so forth. But now there are loud voices from the hinterland firmly disagreeing with that scenario, and the sundry east and west coast libs are beside themselves in anger and astonishment at this enfrontery. “What is wrong with you flyover people, don’t you know Obama is doing this (socializing America) for your own good?” they squawk. Their socialist dreams being dashed, the only thing left for the left to do is lash out. As usual.
