Joe Nocera rants: You know what they say: Never negotiate with terrorists. It only encourages them. These last few months, much of the country has watched in horror as the Tea Party Republicans have waged jihad on the American people. . . . Their goal, they believed, was worth blowing up the country for, if that's what it took. . . . For now, the Tea Party Republicans can put aside their suicide vests. But rest assured: They'll have them on again soon enough.
Last Wednesday Thomas Friedman described the Tea Party as the GOP's "Hezbollah faction." The same day Maureen Dowd approvingly quoted "some Democrats" as describing the Tea Party as "the Republican 'Taliban wing.' " (In fairness we should note that the Times's Roger Cohen registered a partial dissent: "Hatred of Muslims . . . is a growing political industry. It's odious, dangerous and racist.")

I think we can kiss that civility schtick good-bye--Democrats have gone over a cliff
James Taranto counts the ways the Democrats have gone bonkers on the wild, violent language to describe the Tea Party. And so soon after Obama launched his 2012 campaign at a funeral where people were shot by a crazy man who was inflamed by Palin's use of the word "cross-hairs."

I heard a staunch republican echo the same thoughts last week, he said he thinks the tea party is trying to destroy this country. On this point I agree with him.
I think you should listen to the HORRIBLE STUFF spoken by tea partiers and the right in general. They are much more vitriolic than anything said by any mainstream democrats. All that lksd sand has clogged your ear canals.
Many Republicans have been aghast by the Tea Party standing for something. Their spines have been spaghetti (cooked) for so long, they don't know what do think. At least Democrats stand for something, even if they are wrong.
Murray sez:
Some people don't like to hear what the Tea Party movement reports. It scares them into reality. So they suck their thumb and go hug a Progressive/Liberal while saying "save us".
