The left is content to graft their grab bag of sins such as racism and the usual anti-conservative tropes on the protestors, and defend the status quo. Most likely this will continue until the inevitable drubbing in November.
So, basically, you're saying that they resemble the fans at a Utah Jazz home game?

Are you seriously so re ed as to think that liberal voters don't exist in red states. And vica-versa. I know racial, social and political geneity is pretty much the unstated but primary goal of tea baggers and/or morons such as yourself, but let it go. Diversity exists. The sooner your ass re ed brain gets a handle on that, the better off we'll all be.
Diversity exists, except where it doesn't, because it would destroy my meme. Yawn.
Voters aren't stupid. They didn't buy the idea that Scott Brown was a tea-bagger and they won't buy the idea that X or Y are tea-baggers. If the Dems want to attack candidates for teapartiism, they better limit themselves to those who are actually tea-baggers. What I'm seeing reading democrat operatives, writers and blogs is that every Goper is now a tea-bagger. Bad, bad move.
True.
But please, continue to tell the people that if they are fed up with the bailouts, the spending increases, and the deficits that they are a bunch of old white racists.
Now who's "re ed," again?
i agree with CG but i also think that this has been as much about spinning an image for the voters about the new conservative voice. it has been effective in that regard as it has given palin a platform to work with.
nevermind that most of the people who buy the BS will not even consider that most of the politicians involved in the movement are essentially the same as that which they are protesting against.
Fed up with what they themselves created. GMAFB with that tired bull . Each and every tea bagger is a ing hypocrite, fed up with and unwilling to accept blame or the consequences of their own ty governance during the 2000's.
they aren't motivated by bailouts, etc. They're motivated by hatred for the side that won the right to hold the mop handle.
Democrats want to minimize the impact of the movement. The more they peg it to a diversity of people, the bigger the arsenal where they can talk about it. I do think they're NOT going for a complete kill. The best that could happen to the Dems is that the Republican party fractures in two factions.
What I think the Dems are trying to avoid is the two factions aligning under one umbrella by election time.
Keep telling yourself that. I didn't realize there were so many racist rednecks in MA and NJ. The angst is real and currently a majority of independents have it. You don't win elections insulting the other side, especially with the same old tired and decades old caricatures.
yeah, there are a bunch of racists up there. philly is awful as well (grew up there). boston is really bad and jersey wops are full of hate.
I'm not trying to win. I'd rather have Obama than Palin, by a long shot, but I'm ing crazy, radically left, hoping for a violent anarchist state in which I can get away with the worst offenses. I want to be what the teabaggers irrationally fear most.
My goal isn't to win elections for Democrats. It's to cleanse earth of it's worst inhabitants, i.e. teabaggers. At the present, that's an impossibility I know, but just FYI, I'm not viewing this movement through the lens of 2010 or 2012.
And yeah, you didn't know Boston is generally thought of as one of the more racist parts of the country?
So you hate white people and hope for the breakdown of civil society so you can kill them. Grand.
No surprise they're democrat strongholds.
What two factions? Tea-baggers had no problem giving their support for a NE republican like Brown. Palin is endorsing establishment republicans. The kind of big issue that divides parties, like the civil rights laws, simply doesn't exist.
yes because there sure are no GOP strongholds that are equally as racist.
and what is the point of this one sided post anyway? you think it would have been surprising that there are racist democrats?
who the didn't know this already?

Wow. So you're saying that racist rednecks only exist in the predefined cliche areas like the deep south?
That's a pretty racist statement to make yourself, skippy.
Yawn.
The 'official' Republican party candidate vs the 'independent' teabagger candidate. Don't forget that the party didn't endorse or fund Brown's campaign at least until Dede Scozzafava stepped down from the race.
Maybe the same people who didn't know that there were racists in Boston? I wasn't the one bringing up the issue - and I doubt that people would be mentioning that there are racists in Boston if a democrat candidate like Kennedy, Kerrry, Coakley or Patrick had won the seat.
You are right, and I have been wondering how long it will be before the far-right social conservatives in the Republican base turn on him.
I don't understand the connection with Scozzafava. I think the NRSCC didn't spend money on Brown's campaign. Other than that he had the support of the party establishment since early in the primary.
The tea party candidates in Illinois got behind a liberal, almost leftist, republican like Mark Kirk very quickly. Most Medina voters, if not all, in Texas will gladly vote for Perry or Kay. That kind of stuff simply won't happen. NY.23 was an exception due to Scozzafava's exceptional peculiarities.
The Republican party funded and supported Scozzafava up until polls showed that she was not going to win. Funding and support that Dede used, among other things, to fight both Martha Coakley and Scott Brown. You can't say that Brown 'had the support of the party establishment' when he did not. The national party was entirely aligned with Dede.
There's even people that will argue that Brown is actually more liberal than Dede, and that's exactly why he was a better fit for the extremely liberal NY region.
