Most of us own lots of guns but we've never been shot at, but we drink
lots of Coors and pretend to be Rambo, Chuck Heston or John Wayne.
Your choice. Alex Jones would be our leader, but he's a moronic coward
who has challenges making a toilet tissue roll work.
Sharp Rise in Violent Hate Groups Since Obama Elected (Video)
Hate, anti-government and so-called “sovereign” and “patriot” groups
are popping up in record numbers since our first African-American
president was elected. Coincidence? Doubtful, but what we know for
sure is that the rate of growth for these groups has skyrocketed even
more since the Sandy Hook tragedy because their members are genuinely
afraid President Obama is going to take their guns–and they are getting
more dangerous and violent by the day.
Isn't it funny that tea party members are the most hated minority in
America! Even more hated than MUSLIMS!
Nobody didn't say that picking on the weak and the stupid wasn't the
American way!
Tea Party people less popular than many other hated minority groups
They may want "their country" back, but their country doesn't really
want them
By Alex Pareene
There is a shadowy group of malcontents in America today, plotting a
grand takeover of our political institutions in order to completely
remake the country according to their wishes. Despite the fact the
members of this group are a small minority of the population, and an
unpopular one at that, they seek to infiltrate the courts and the
government at every level, in order to replace our long-standing system
of law with their own extremist, undemocratic religious code. These
true believers are especially dangerous because they think they’re
doing God’s work, and you ignore them, or play down the threat they
pose to America, at your own risk. This tiny band of fanatics is
largely distrusted and despised by regular Americans, but a terrified
media coddles them and pretends they’re harmless. I am speaking, of
course, of the Tea Parties, a group now officially less popular among
Americans than Muslims.
Professors David E. Campbell and Robert D. Putnam have a column in
today’s New York Times explaining that the Tea Party movement is made
up largely of ultra-religious ultra-conservative Republican partisans
(shocker?), and now that America has caught on to this fact, the Tea
Party people are much less popular than other groups who largely seek
to mind their own business:
Polls show that disapproval of the Tea Party is climbing. In April
2010, a New York Times/CBS News survey found that 18 percent of
Americans had an unfavorable opinion of it, 21 percent had a favorable
opinion and 46 percent had not heard enough. Now, 14 months later, Tea
Party supporters have slipped to 20 percent, while their opponents have
more than doubled, to 40 percent.
Of course, politicians of all stripes are not faring well among the
public these days. But in data we have recently collected, the Tea
Party ranks lower than any of the 23 other groups we asked about —
lower than both Republicans and Democrats. It is even less popular than
much maligned groups like “atheists” and “Muslims.” Interestingly, one
group that approaches it in unpopularity is the Christian Right.
So it turns out that going around in funny hats screaming at people for
a few years is not a great way to endear yourself to the American
public, unless you’re Joe Pantoliano.
Better luck with next election cycle’s rebranding campaign that fools
everyone in the political press for a year or so, ultra-conservative
Republicans!
