To add an exclamation point to Jon’s post below:
an·ar·chist –noun
- a person who advocates or believes in anarchy or anarchism.
- a person who seeks to overturn by violence all constituted forms and institutions of society and government, with no purpose of establishing any other system of order in the place of that destroyed.
- a person who promotes disorder or excites revolt against any established rule, law, or custom.
Far be it for me to suggest that the teabaggers’ violent, anti-federalist rhetoric is in any way anarchistic, but it seems downright silly to attempt to lump anarchists in with us liberals and progressives who admittedly seek an expanded role for government in the economic sphere.
Anarchism is not an ism of the modern left. If anything, it is libertarianism taken to its logical extreme.
Edward Abbey sometimes advocated anarchism, but he drew a careful distinction between anarchy, the lack of rules, and anarchism, the lack of rulers.
Jon’s last post was probably his best ever.
Exactly.
The problem being that if the Tea Klux Klan were somehow to get their glibertarian way, we’d soon have a fascist dictator / thugs running things.
I’m not so sure about that definition of an anarchist. Anarchy as a philosophy is much more complex than writing an “A” on a wall or being knee-jerk against government.
Traditionally anarchists ( since 1860s) have been on the left side of the spectrum. Their main beef has been against corporations and for the collectivization of labor; they have been more radical than traditional organized labor though. They have never been “libertarian” in nature, at least not in economic matters.
In the US, they have their roots in the poor and immigrant communities during the terrible period of industrialization (think the Italian immigrants Sacco and Vanzentti).
During the Spanish Civil War, anarchists fought along side socialists and communists to preserve the Republican government; fighting against the monarchists, the Catholic Church and the Falangists of Franco. The leftists also fought each other (since they each had different visions for Spain), which led to their defeat by Franco. (It also led one Socialist soldier, a man by the name of George Orwell, to come to despise the totalitarian nature of the communists.)
One of the foremost Anarchist philosophers was Prince Peter Kropotkin of Russia. He’s a good resource for anyone interested in what Anarchism actually is.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Kropotkin
So those Anarchists From Eugene were teabaggers. Now you tell us.
And does this mean that my treasured collection of subversive transgressive lit is just more right-wing racist smut? What’s a mother to do?
Monkeywrench Michael: Am pretty sure Abbey, who did some of his best thinking while waiting for Glacier Park to burn, knew that anarchy is the point at which the wingfuck left and the wingfuck right rise and converge.
Attempts to correlate the situation in Imperial Russia, and the various revolutionary movements there (including anarchists), with politics in the U.S. (then or now) are inherently misleading. The environments were just too dissimilar to make a valid comparision, a fact which has caused many mistakes among western writers, journalists, and governments.
For example, Russian serfs traditionally looked to the Tsar not as a tyrant, but as their protector from the extremes of the local nobility. It was the Tsar who freed the serfs (before America’s Emancipation Proclamation), although that freedom was far from complete. A story is often told of a revolutionary peasant in the late 1800’s who led a local rebellion against the tyrnical policies of a local noble, and then sent off an appeal to the Tsar for protection. The revolutionaries were sadly dissapointed and dismayed when the Tsars troops arrived to put down the rebellion, not to arrest the local nobleman.
So in this context, note that some western politicians and many political theorists thought that the abdication of the Tsar was a necessary precursor to modernization of Russia’s political system. Instead, the removal of the Tsar only brought more confusion and concern among the peasants who made up the bulk of Russia’s population outside the cities – their protector was gone, they were alone against the abuses of local nobility and the rising power of the Kulak class. That left them open to the promises of the Bolshevicks who promised them protection under the “dictatorate of the Proletariat”, where the first would be last and the last would be first. Of course, it turned out that they had exchanged potential dictatorship by hundreds of local nobles into dictatorship and tyranny by hundreds of thousands of party functionaries as well as Stalin and others.
Anyway, be careful trying to apply Russian history in a western context. It usually is more misleading than inciteful.
@5 Glaciers? Abbey, wrote all his stuff in the south west.
The point is, there’s nothing liberal or progressive or big “D” Democratic about ski-masked self-proclaimed anarchists throwing rocks at police and smashing store windows, and there’s nothing in our ideology or rhetoric to give them succor.
Now if the Republican leadership wants to disown the teabaggers the way we condemn and disclaim the anarchists, perhaps the two sides would be on more of an even moral footing.
@8
Yup!
Inciteful. For sure.
There’s nothing in your ideology ….. Does Emma Goldstein, excuse me, Goldman … ring any liberty belles?
Didn’t GBS tell you? Didn’t you get the memo? We reactionaries wallow in the dead past.
One of my favorite hog wallows is the Goldman/Berkman period: Haymarket, Frick, the anarchist assassination of McKinley, bombs bursting in air at the LA Times and at the House of Morgan, the Red Ark … back when Red meant Reds. That radical anarchical syndicalism is your liberal heritage. Don’t try to hide it. Don’t run from it. Be out and loud and proud.
re 4:
30!!!!!!!!!!! WOW!!!!!!!!!!!! Must have taken an army to subdue them.
anarchy is…..gay.
re 10: By the way, ‘pms666’ is a really clever put-down. You couldn’t be a Republican. They don’t have a sense of humor or the mental means to express it if they did.
Orwell: Mugged by Red reality in Spain. While American leftists continued to push the fiction that Stalin was a liberal in a hurry and that Mao was a benevolent agrarian reformer, Orwell in Spain began to see and to speak the truth. At that point and for the rest of his short life he honestly and fearlessly fumigated the smelly orthodoxies of the Left.
We carried a lantern at high noon looking for an honest leftist. We found him. George Orwell. We need him again. Now more than ever. Especially here, especially at HA.
@ 8 And I was pointing out that that definition was incorrect
and that, yes, most anarchists have been on the left of the political spectrum. Also, most of those folks that throw bricks at protests probably don’t know a thing about Anarchism.
Edward Abbey: Did a tour of duty in a Glacier fire tower. But hey … everybody needs a hobby.
@15 Orwell was always a Socialist and despised Capitalism as well as Communism.
He is not your hero. If he were alive today he would push for Universal health care here and around the world. Get over it.
PS I doubt anyone here likes Stalin. You’re delusional.
Links to Abbey’s Montana connection.
@11
If radical anarchical syndicalism is a part of our liberal heritage, then fascism, racism and sexism is a part of your conservative heritage.
Do you hate Italians, Poles and Chinese people, as did the Capitalists at the turn of the last century?
PJ: Read it again: American leftists were leading cheers for Stalin (and bulking up the Lincoln Brigade) while Orwell was fighting in Spain.
Delusional? You’re illiterate and ignorant. Typical leftist.
The turn of the last century? Y2K? 1 January 2000 or 1 January 2001 (depending on your preference)?
What the fuck are you ‘talking’ about?
Geez … I mean, PassionFruitJus is such a ninny that I’m staring to miss Roger. At least the Rabbit knows how to fucking read and how to fucking fuck ….. which is what Rabbits are really good at …
@21
I know that well. Some of the more radical on the American left did applaud Stalin. [most of those people were far to the left of the Democratic and Republican Parties (which had a liberal New England wing back then)].
Once it became clear what a tyrant Stalin was, most of those people disavowed him. Only a few kooks in America still favored him and they were not in any way affiliated with the Democratic Party.
Orwell was always a socialist. I’ve read plenty of his writings and know that he admired the pure philosophy of the Anarchists and, at first admired the Communists, who did the majority of the fighting for the Republicans. He later became disillusioned with both communism and the Soviet Union.
So what’s your point? What does that have to do with anything today?
I can point out that Orwell remained an ardent socialist his entire life.
I can also point out that there were American conservative leaders who applauded fascism, Franco, Mussolini and even Hitler.
Are you trying to say that Democrats today support Stalin? Because then I can say that Republicans today support Hitler. Both are incredibly stupid statements.
@19
Thanks!
I always looked at the Eugene anarchist fucktards as just another college-induced phase of post-adolescent stupidity, kids having one last blast of rebellion before they joined the real world. They kinda go into the same dump as LUGs (Lesbians Until Graduation). That said, I’ve seen older people get swept up in it. I have a friend from my HS graduating class that’s getting his PhD at the University of British Columbia, who very nearly got deported after he got arrested protesting the Winter Olympics, ’cause that Man was keeping him down again. I laughed at them all.
Heartily.
I’ve always felt you small time Republicans were “fearful” and “reactionary” but that was just my opinion.
THEN, the RNC drops this bombshell from their own FINANCE LEADERSHIP and that is EXACTLY how they describe you.
Here’s a link to their slideshow presentation. Scroll down to frame 28/72 and see for yourself. http://www.politico.com/static.....rship.html
Republicans, particularly “small donors” (i.e. the “base”) are prone to fear mongering because they have knee-jerk reactions . These personality traits occur in people who lack intelligence, reasoning skills, and are prone to propaganda tactics.
That’s not my opinion that the belief of the Rulers of the RNC.
I always laugh at conservatives who want to throw anarchists into the “left’s” camp.
From an intellectual point of view how do you merge these two thoughts: “Liberals LOVE big government.” “Liberals are anarchists.”
You have to be a complete dumb ass, prone to fear mongering that leads to knee-jerk reactions, to believe those two statements simultaneously.
Well, Bush was never accused of having intellectual curiosity. Or Sarah Palin for that matter.
John “The Maverick” McLame also is feeding the base that he never claimed to be a Maverick. He’s either lying or too stooooooopid to remember the whole Mavericky stump speech him and Sarah “Winker Wanker” Palin said about a billion times.
Sheeeeez, how tarnished the party of the “Shinning city on the hill” have become. Remember when they claimed to love America. Now they just want to use al Qeada like tactics to win their way back into power. One thing Americans will not stand for is to be bullied into someone else’s way of thinking.
Pathetic.
Like, um, Henry Agard Wallace, New Deal Secretary of Ag, Vice President of the United States, Secretary of Commerce? (Of course you’ll reply that Wallace, once upon a time, was a progressive Republican, so we’ll have to get back in the gutter with Alger Hiss and Harry Dexter White and dozens of other New Deal/Fair Deal Stalinists.)
Then there was I.F. Stone, a Stalinist into at least the 1950s. But perhaps he was never a card-carrying Democrat. Only Tailgunner Joe knows for sure.
Simple. You’ve got the big tent.
Heard elsewhere that RNC disdains some of us What’s-the-matter-with-Kansas Republicans. Maybe that explains why I’ve never given to the RNC and why I tear up their faux-census gimme letters.
Have been wary of giving it up since my donation to African-American Rabbi Daniel Lapin. (Is it too late to get my $ back from Abramoff?)
About Kirby and David Brooks: Didn’t mean to imply that they are leading cheers for Obama. Did mean to state that they are starting to deal with the liklihood of impending Obama recovery.
Rush, you’ll recall, went on way too long about our crashing stock market being the direct result of Obama’s candidacy, of Obama’s nomination, of Obama’s election … all stuff that happened while the president was not Obama. Then, in March 2009 when the Dow did its amazing 180, Rush was left behind, looking like a big fat idiot. He’s still stuck in a 1994 timewarp. He’s still stuck on stupid. Sort of like you, most of the time.
(Speaking of pathetic winker wankers, how’s your hand holding up to the repetitive stress?)
Why is it I’m not surprised by the “simple” answer that contradicts itself.
Years of training in the dojo have enabled me to continuously beat the crap out of fearful Republicans without causing my hands any undo stress. TYVM.
How many times has your hand had to be surgically removed from your teeny penis due to your chronic masturbation habit? Have you worn out your VHS player from repeatedly rewinding the VP debate from 2008? Or did you simply just edit out all the intelligent remarks from the now Vice President Joe Biden and left in just the winking wanker whore shots?
I bet you can hardly see through all the dried cum stains running down your TV playing Spunk on the Winking Eye of Sarah Palin.
Intelligent Biden remarks.
Hey, winker wanker GBS! Admit it! Palin turns you onnnnnnnnn and onnnnnnnn and onnnnnnnn …
(Left a Habermas Christianist message for you a few clicks back. Check it.)
GBSBS @ 32:
You make a great point. In fact, it’s a BIG FUCKING DEAL. LOL.
Do you think Sarah Palin understood what Joe meant when he said “Past is Prologue?”
Well she probably did because she’s such a voracious reader. Remember this gem when she couldn’t name ONE fucking newspaper she reads? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xRkWebP2Q0Y
“I read ‘em all” Yeah, right.
You’re borrrrrringgggggg, GBS. Where’s Steve when we need him?

Question: Why are pimps so important?
Answer: Cause them bitches aint gonna slap themselves!
Just sayin’, dumb fuck, that a little of little you goes way more than a long way. A little of you goes too far and a little of you is way too much.
We can maybe handle one or two of your pointless pathetic posts. Then the gag reflex kicks in and we start to reach for proud leftist’s barf bucket. Then we remember that proud leftist is a barf bucket.
Then we start wishing Rabbit and Steve were around for comic relief.

Does Noam Chomsky count as modern left?
Just askin…
Anarchism is a big part of the history of the international left beginning with Bakunin, one of Marx’s rivals. The problem is, the “left” (even most self styled progressives in the Democratic Party) in the USA would be considered “right” just about anywhere else in the world.
And Goldy, you are wrong. Anarchists have little if anything in common with glibertarians. Glibertarians still have to have a state (monopoly on the use of force) to enforce their private property fetishism.
Most of us tend to confuse ‘anarchist’ with ‘nihilist’. There’s a big difference.
If you actually read some NW history, the IWW (‘wobblies-anarcho-syndicalists) played a major role in the labor movement here prior to WWI–Seattle general strike, Everett massacre, etc.
Don’t mourn, organize!
An injury to one is an injury to all!
One big union. One big strike!
pms: “Don’t try to hide it. Don’t run from it. Be out and loud and proud.”
I don’t.
I’m not.
I am.
Chomsky’s net worth is reported to be over $2 million.
I would love to give a big golf clap(tis the season) to all the suckers who bought into this guys line of bullshit in order to make him rich.
Not only does he command in excess of $15k per speech, he has put most of his wealth into trusts(which he used to rant against) in order to keep his money from the tax man.
and speaking of his speeches: He raised his speaking fee by over 30% after 911 when he was in demand…sounds like profiting off the deaths of others – or even war profiteering.
So here we have a guy ranting against capitalism, yet you have to pay him to listen to his speech or purchase one of his CD’s…hmm..sounds like a capitalist to me.
God the people on the left are gullible.
SUCKERSSSSSSS………

You, on the other hand, get Father Coughlin, Tailgunner Joe McCarthy, Prescott Bush, the anti-semitic ravings of Henry Ford, Timmy McVeigh, Scott Roeder, James Earl Ray, and Billy Buckley’s passionate defense of segregation. There are more, but the list is long.
Don’t try to hide it, don’t run from it, be out and loud and proud.
Suggested that GBS gets turned onnnn and onnn and onnn by Sarah Palin. That’s false and defamatory. GBS gets turned on by Michael Palin.
Another fantasy. You know, if you just got a job, moved out of your mommy’s basement, brushed your teeth, quit wetting the bed, and had enough courage to strike up a conversation with a living breathing woman, besides your mother or sister, you might actually get laid.
You’re the only guy on the blog whose “girl friend” is made by Rubber Maid.
How much did you pay for that Sarah Palin look-alike fuck doll?
Did you pop for the winking eye model? Yeaaaaaah, you did.
The Atheist Progressive desperation is hysterical. You continue down the same path that has caused Oba-Mao and Democrats to plunge in all polls…and expect a different result??
Allow me to repeat myself–
Anytime the Majority party name-calls, ridicules and mocks average folks trying to hold them accountable….they lose.
You KLOWNS had your chance at LEADERSHIP…instead continued the same tired old rhetoric that got an unqualified Marxist elected.
The covers have been pulled on Oba-Mao BY HIS ACTIONS!!
The Tea Partiers are relentless in their philosophy of Fiscal Responsibility, no deficit spending, smaller government and demanding leaders follow the Constitution.
And you mock that???
Stupak quit because of endless Tea Party rally’s in his District. He knew he was D-O-N-E..so he is quitting.
Pelosi is running around to another 8 Democrats who want to quit demanding “DON’T YOU DARE QUIT!”
They are being told by Pelosi and other Oba-Mao henchmen that if they quit, they will never get any government appointment or their phone calls returned.
Pelosi is an ugly human being.
But thankfully she is currently in charge…because between Oba-Mao/Reid & Pelosi…they will be flogged with accountability consistently until they are run out of office.

Why ‘Obamanomics’ is working
Ignore polls, watch the markets: Economy is perking up
Businessweek:
It’s never easy to separate politics from policy, and the past 18 months have only increased the degree of difficulty. The U.S. has been through a historic financial crisis followed by a historic election and a series of historic federal gambles — from bailing out AIG and GM to passing a $787 billion stimulus and a $940 billion health-care reform bill. All that risk has made policy more complicated and politics more fraught (“You lie,” “Baby killer”).
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/36.....essweekcom
Conservatives went “all in” with their political future betting that being the party of No and obstructionism would work.
7 months to go before the fall elections and the choices could NOT be more clear: Go with the Democrats who fixed the Republican fiscal nightmare or return to the days when Republicans couldn’t be trusted with the America’s checkbook and credit cards.
Since they’ve been out of power, their penchant for lavish spending and sex themed night clubs haven’t changed.
What makes them think when choosing between Obama’s policies that are working or going back to the failed policies of Reaganism the American people will choose to return to failure?
Dream on, suckers, dream on.
Remmeber when the mantra used to be “Fiscal Conservatism“.
Your nunanced position is BUSTED!
Glad to see the Teabaggers adopting the Clinton philosophy.

Harry is in deep trouble. The Tea Party has targeted him and will be relentless in Nevada.
Harry’s gotta go…and he will.
He probably won’t even run cuz he doesn’t want to face the voters.
Harry is on the wrong side of the Health Care issue by a mile.
If the people of NV want to be stupid and go from being represented by one of the most powerful people in the country to being represented by one of the least powerful people in the senate, I say more power to them.
Peeps in Nevada are upset over Harry Reid trading jobs in Nevada when he didn’t speak up when Odumba attacked companies for conventions in Las Vegas. Peeps haven’t forgotten that!
63. Michael spews:
Michael–
The issue is that Harry does NOT represent their views on Health Care, Deficit Spending and other key issues.
Just because a guy has seniority does not mean he adequately represents the majority.
Know what I mean.
Harry is toast.
I predict he will not run and face his constituents. Harry is a coward.
We’ll hear a real lame excuse like blaming the Tea Partiers or something stupid like that.
The Tea Party is firmly entrenched in Nevada.
Harry Reid is the #1 target to defeat in this election…just like Daschle got beat.
Remember??
Mitch McConnell is right on about the necessary points for any Nuke Treaty with Russia–
In a statement Friday, McConnell mentioned “three main criteria necessary for favorable consideration: America’s ability to verify compliance, its impact on our national defense against the threat of nuclear-armed missiles and the modernization and continued strength of our nuclear arsenal.”
Anything short of this is just another Oba-Mao bullshit publicity stunt that makes America look like weak-kneed fools…again under Oba-Mao.
“Allow me to repeat myself–”
heh- That actually one of the funniest things the KLOWN’s ever posted here!
Cyn, I hate to break your heart, but there aren’t a lot of Teepers in Nevada. It’s pretty much the same as it is everywhere else, maybe one in about 500 or so. And seeing that I lived there until just recently, I think I’d know this better than you. The last Teeper rally I personally saw in the Reno/Tahoe/Carson area was quite some time ago, in August. And there wasn’t a single Nevada resident among them. A group of Teepers/cartards picketed in front of Reno’s Federal Building every morning during Hot August Nights (I made them look really foolish several times by engaging them with simple logical arguments, they replied by threatening violence against me, not a smart thing to do with policemen standing right next to us – and the cops told them so). The protestors promptly disappeared when the carfest was over.
Mind you, I moved back to Washington shortly after the New Year, so I wouldn’t know about anything recent. But R/T/C is generally a more conservative area than where the bulk of Nevada’s voters are down in Vegas, but there really isn’t a serious Teeper presence in the area beyond a handful in Fallon and a few in Carson City. People showed up when the TPX buses showed up, but were generally turned off by the Teepers’ message being drowned out by their demands for money from the faithful.
@65
You forgot Tom Foley.
Yeah, and I pretty much agree with this. And if they throw Reid out a lot of the money and power that the state of Nevada counted on will go out the door with him. Which means there’s more for the senators from the great state of Washington to pick up.
The folks in the 5th CD had the speaker of the house representing them in congress and they tossed him out for a powerless, dim bulb. And then they turned around and whined about being over looked and powerless. Duh. A good chunk of the money and power that went out the door with Tom Foley went into the pockets of Norm Dick’s blue blazer. At the end of the day, politics is a zero sum game.
And then there’s the Teeper candidate who the Teepers say isn’t one of them, Scott Ashjian….
http://www.washingtontimes.com.....an-get-lo/
Not the sharpest knives in the drawer, if you ask me. I didn’t even think Harry Reid would get re-elected, but the longer the silliness continues, the more likely he’ll pull it out and win another term.
How do you know Broadway Joe is clueless…? He writes about it.
Golly BJ, ya needs to git from da kook-aid pardner. While CNN claimed “dozens attended”, here are some photos Butt don’t let some facts get in the way of being ignorant Broadway Joe…
You didn’t even bother to read my post, did you? May I remind you that I was talking about the Reno/Carson/Tahoe area, prior to my departure from Nevada shortly after the New Year. Just so you know, Searchlight, Nevada is a shade over 500 miles from Reno. I know this because I’ve actually been there once or twice, passing through on my way to gigs in Laughlin and New Mexico. And according to my friends in Nevada, the majority of vehicles there were from out-of-state.
FAIL!
So let’s just see your pathetic little ‘showdown’ for what it is – wingnuts flocking to Searchlight to enrich their masturbatory fantasies of Sister Sarah. And if you really want to find an ignoramus, try looking in the mirror, Pudz.
Oh BJ Puddy did read your post. First you opened with this ditty
Generalization! Then you went personal and local
So you walked around and personally asked each person are you from Nevada? Got proof?
All Puddy did was identify that you are ignorant of recent events. All Puddy did was identify that you don’t exhibit any intelligence outside your circle jerk of “friends”. All Puddy did was identify that you haven’t paid attention to news from the LA Times and other sources except the standard kook-aid locations. Even Media Morons estimates at least 8000 peeps showed up to visit Harry Reid’s hometown.
The only masturbation occurring is when you stick your pinky finger up your nose and you tickle that single brain cell in that neanderthal shaped cranial orifice.
Puddy–
Thanks for helping to educate Broadway Joe.
It is painful for the Atheist Progressives to watch their short-lived “power” go down the tubes because of their misguided anger at folks that want an end to Deficit Spending and Big Government.
And Michael–
Everything you say about power being with Seniority is true…but also a huge flaw in our system. Bringing home PORK by incumbents is merely running up the nations credit card to try & buy some votes with more debt.
The Tea Partiers recognize this. The Democrats are in power now and will deservedly get the wrath.
However, when the Republicans take control they will be held to the same standards. No more deficit spending. No mork Porkulous.
Just smaller, less intrusive Big Brother and more emphasis on State’s rights.
I know you find it hard to believe, but the Tea Party IS NOT just closet Republicans trying to pull a fast one. The majority are independents, many of whom have never been involved in politics before.
You may call them the Party of NO.
I call them the Party of HELL NO!!
“Anarchism is not an ism of the modern left. If anything, it is libertarianism taken to its logical extreme.”
Yep, the “modern left” is an advocate of total and absolute government control of all aspects of life, right down to what we eat and drink, what we read or view on TV, and what we think. The modern left is all about conformity to its world view.
Cynical,
Bookmark this link… It’s one of Puddy’s favorites for legislative pork…
When it comes to lies and anarchy, we all know it’s the libtardo progressives who believe in anarchy.
Exhibit 1
Pictures tell you all about libtardo progressive anarchists.
Exhibit 2
A new Gallup Poll out this morning of 1,033 finds nothing fringe about self-proclaimed Tea Party adherents; they are slightly more likely to be employed, male and definitely more conservative. But otherwise Gallup’s Lydia Saad writes, “their age, educational background, employment status, and race — Tea Partiers are quite representative of the public at large.”
While economic issues like stubbornly high unemployment rates and declining home values cause widespread worries, Winston found top issues among the self-identified Tea Party followers are jobs/the economy and the exploding federal deficit. A whopping 95% told pollsters that Washington “Democrats are taxing, spending and borrowing too much.”
Fully 87% told Gallup they oppose Obama’s healthcare legislation.
Exhibit 3:
But now comes hard facts from multiple sources that put the lie to the liberal stereotype about Tea Partiers. For one thing, the Tea Partiers are almost certainly more in tune with the views of the average American voter than is Obama. Pollster Scott Rasmussen found that 48 percent of his respondents say their views are closer to those of the Tea Party than to Obama. Not surprisingly, far more Republicans than Democrats said that to Rasmussen. Less predictable and more important, 50 percent of the independents identified with Tea Partiers over Obama, while only 38 percent of independents said the president’s views matched their own. It appears the independent center of American politics has shifted decisively to the right as the Tea Party has grown during the past year.
It turns out as well that Tea Partiers aren’t exclusively conservatives or Republicans. The Winston Group has done perhaps the most extensive polling among voters who identify themselves as Tea Partiers, and found that “57 percent of Tea Party members called themselves Republicans, another 28 percent said they were independents, and 13 percent were Democrats. Two-thirds of Tea Party members identify as conservatives but 26 percent say they are moderate and 8 percent described themselves as liberal.” As for those allegedly growing threats of violence by Tea Partiers, no less an authority than Internal Revenue Service Commissioner Douglas Shulman said this week that “no, the threat has not increased.” He added that much of what has been written in the media about such threats “actually is not accurate.” Since the IRS has a unit that tracks such tracks, if anybody would know about growing anti-government violence, surely it would be the head tax man.
Exhibit 4
Notice this libtardo progressive with his arm cocked and ready to destroy PA state property. Hmmm… No Bailout, No Capitalism… sounds like a local HA Progressive Libtardo Blog Chant…
When it comes to facts… explosions are heard as progressive libtardo heads see truth.
@28 Don’t forget that “Leftists” are also supposed to be BOTH dirty hippies and Volvo-driving, Starbucks-swilling, ballet-attending, out-of-touch elites. Oh, and that we drug-overdosing, free-love libertines are in cahoots with the Islamofascists to destroy our country.
I’ve given up on hoping the Right will ever notice how completely schizo their cartoonish portrayals of the Left are.
