Sunday afternoon I was surfing the car radio channels and came across something I would never in a million years have listened to: Bob Edwards' Weekend, on American University's public radio station. Edwards was interviewing the author of this book, a New York Times reporter named Kate Zernike. It was simply amazing. Edwards was unable to conceal his contempt for the Tea Party Movement. His comments and questions positively dripped with it. Zernike tried, but she, too, revealed her contempt. They both believe themselves to be vastly superior to the Tea Party peons and loons, who "don't know any better than to always vote against their own interests." It was simply an amazing conversation -- what Lefties say among themselves, when they don't think anyone else is listening, about how stupid they think everyone else is. At times I was cringing in embarrassment for Edwards, he is so overtly hateful. There is a podcast of their interview available, free, and I will post it below.

But the Tea Partiers' grievances are rooted in the present, a response to the election of the nation's first black president...

Nuff said.

These people will regret their life's choices and attitude when they find out they might actually have to work for a living when we devastate their political power come November 2nd.

The left has abandoned all pretense of logic and reason, and is left with nothing but its hate. They’ll never admit to Obama’s failure because they can’t see beyond his color. Their shallow, superficial perspective has been revealed, and THEY are angry.

Hopefully that “boiling” anger keeps up to Nov 2. The recent polling that shows a shift back to the dems is unsettling.

What a crock!!! If the country had elected Thomas Sowell or Walter Williams, the Tea Party would not exist.

These are the same sort of liberals who have assured us for 70 years that the Communist Party US is NOT a seditious group aligned with foreign tyrants.

Hard to square with today’s “polls” showing Dems surging into the lead in many campaigns.

Thanks for posting this. I myself heard this delightful “piece” and was astonished at how they STILL don’t get the Tea Party. In fact, it is rather humorous to see NPR attempt to understand the Tea Party any time they try.

I actually tried to poke around on the National Propaganda Radio website to find this piece, but I didn’t know the name of the show I was listening to, and I didn’t care THAT much. I’m glad others get to hear the same entertainment I did.

Zernike wrote article after article in 2004 trying to prop up John Kerry's absurd combat stories. She's a full-fledged DNC Media apparatchik.

Hah, a NYT reporter pretending to be knowledgeable about the Tea Party. “We see how young conservatives, who model their organization on the Grateful Dead...”, did a computer generating random combinations of words come up with that part of the article?

“Tomorrow, one of those kids from ‘Tiny Beauty Queens’ will explain the National Electric Code.”

a response to the election of the nation's first black MARXIST president

Any analysis of the tea party movement that assumes it has anything at all to do with race is missing the point. Race has nothing to do with it--never did; never will.

If Zernike thinks the Tea Party wave is due to punk libertarians, well all I can tell Zernike is that we need more punk libertarians.
