She’s wrong about the demographic, but she’s right about the unemployment benefits.

Some of the most effective TEA party members are women. Why? They care about their children. I’m not saying men don’t care, but the people I see fired up the most are women.

Doesn’t fringe imply a very limited number of individuals? How can the Tea Party be “fringe” yet dangerous to the Dem’s re-election prospects? Doesn’t that suggest the Tea Party is actually a large movement with many supporters?
They can’t have their cake and eat it too. Talk about being afraid of the bogeyman.

“Freaked out white men”?
Is she saying she thinks the guys who run Standard and Poors are Tea Party members?

Racism against whites is perfectly acceptable, and encouraged, in the US.
To: kbobdelux
Tea Party: "Taxes are too high."
Left: "You're a racist!"
Tea Party: "Government spends too much."
Left: "You're a racist!"
Tea party: "I like the Constitution."
Left: "Why are you filled with so much hate? You must be a racist!"

If one needs an example (oops, make that many examples) of folks who live 6 sigmas to the left on the IQ bell curve, just tune to CNBC.

The TEA Party members are the PRODUCERS of the society.
We can’t really help that the PRODUCERS of the society are primarily of one demographic.

That was an awesome response. It was also amusing and informative to see who had real fear, and who did not.

Ms. Whitney clearly does not understand the TEA Party - the liberals’ only salvation is that most of us ARE employed and often run our own businesses which reduces our time for “activism” and decreases our turnout at the polls.

Call it Tea Party, whatever you will, the fringe element is I characterize (as) freaked-out white men who are unemployed and have been unemployed for three years and theyre scared to death, she said. Three to four million of them are about to roll off unemployment benefits in the next three to four months. This is only going to get worse.Um, Meredith BankingAnalystGirl, the Tea Party is called "T.E.A.--Taxed Enough Already" because people in it pay taxes; ergo, they have jobs and are productive.

In our local Tea Party events the women outnumber the men AND 2 women are the organizers of events.
Besides, most of the men are at work with schedules that aren't flexible enough to get to weekday events.

Good for Santelli!
Looks like Whitney has exposed herself as a political drone.
To: kbobdelux
Man she couldn’t be more wrong. Stick to your area of expertise, Meredith.

Meredith needs to get out more. She must live in her own bubble like many seen on television.
She is usually pretty good on the issues.
