Well most of the Tea Party members that I know are women... but men make up 40% around here... and we are PISSED OFF... not FREAKED OUT. BIG DIFFERENCE!

Sigh. Haven’t we had enough of injecting color into every damn issue all of the time?

She must be a follower of Jim Jones, it is obvious she has already sampled the Kool-aid.

“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 they’re scared to death,”

Wait, I thought the Tea Party was rich guys who wanted to screw the unemployed. I'm so confused...

It isn’t the TEA (Taxed Enough Already) Party... that was a slogan at a rally that stuck. It’s the Tea Party, founded on the same principles which inspired our Revolution to put government back in its place as the servant of the people.

... too many are trying to limit its focus to taxes alone.

Freaked out white men? Compared to what I see said and written about Palin, I don’t think she knows what “freaked out” means.

The Media is in full force.

No one without an agenda would intentionally put a moronic windbag like this on TV.

Most revolutions in American/European history have been started by “freaked out white men”.

Actually most of the Tea Party people I know are pissed off women worried about their children’s future.

The only freaked out white men I see are the Democrat Senators—they are staring into the abyss.

Of course, let’s not forget freaked out white women—like Nancy Pelosi. She’s freaked inside and out.

Our group is about 55% women, 45% men. A number of widows and single professional women.

So socialists are primarily doled up minorities? Hmmm.

This woman is powerfully ignorant. Many of our leaders and most gifted speakers are women. I’ve seen women everywhere at the rallies. Though I did not count them my perception was that woman were as heavily represented at each of the 5 or 6 rallies I attended as they are anywhere.

There were perhaps a few unemployed in attendance. I can’t remember but I might have been between contracts at one of them. However, most were taking time off from their jobs or businesses. And many present were employers, some of them very large employers.

Yea, who needs that Constitution or a government that lives within it's means.

Meredith Whitney is an idiot.
