Did you really just say this? Yes, I really think the tea party does not have radical beliefs. The media focuses on a vocal minority, who most conservatives don't pay any attention to, then paint the entire group with a very broad brush. I also know you need to believe this in order to dismiss the opposition offhand rather than engage with them based on the facts. All you ever post here is just editorial nonsense and disdain for people who don't agree with you or more accurately, the people who give you your opinions. And what's so "radical" about any of that? How man times was Bush compared to Hitler? How many equally bad or worse things were said about him? Was that radical? And, of course, the only possible motivation for this "radical" propaganda campaign is the color of the President's skin, right? It couldn't possibly be the fact that he's the least accomplished person ever to be elected to the office (and probably the senate as well), or that he holds many positions that as much or more than half the country disagree with him on, or the fact that his administration has been one domestic or foreign policy disaster after another. Nope, clearly if you don't love him, you're a racist. That my friend, is radical - and asinine.
of course there is a racist element to some of the criticism about Obama, but I think the right wingers would hate any democrat, not just him. it's not all just racism but when I see signs and quotes about him being a half breed, there may be something to that.
as for radical positions, on the right they're congressmen, on the left they're some leftist holding a sign at a protest. of course there are plenty of those on the right too, but they have actual representation that shares their views. I've heard quotes from republican congressmen saying that Obama's parents sent a telegram from Kenya to put his birth announcement in a hawaiian newspaper, that Obama's muslim brotherhood friends have infiltrated the adminstration, i've heard that global warming can't be real because floods are caused by god like they were in the bible, i've heard that evolution is a lie from the pit of hell.
trust me, you don't hear this kind of stuff from the blue team.
