Disparaging remarks about Tea Parties
The amazing success of the Tax Day Tea Parties has apparently aggravated many of the usual suspects. Janeane Garofalo called the patriots a bunch of "racists" who didn't know anything about the original Boston Tea Party. Paul Begala made nasty remarks on the Imus program. Anderson Cooper resorted to vulgarities. David Axelrod said the Tea Parties were "unhealthy". We could go on but these people are just boring. The truth is that the Tea Partiers have struck a responsive chord in the American spirit and they have just begun to fight!!
