“If racism is not the whole of the Tea Party, it is in its heart, along with blind hatred, a total disinterest in the welfare of others, and a full-flowered self-rationalizing refusal to accept the outcomes of elections, or the reality of democracy, or the narrowness of their minds and the equal narrowness of their public support.” IfsMindHeartSelfWholeRealityPartyAcceptingSupportDemocracyEqualRacismHatredElectionBlindTeaWelfareOutcomesRefusalTea PartyDisinterest Author:Keith Olbermann

“It's obvious that a lot of Tea Party members tend to be elderly. You've seen that famous sign, 'Tell the government to keep its hands off my Medicare.' And I think as long as the government does keep its hands off their Medicare, they're fine with talking about low taxes. But once they start to realize that the Republicans really do want to not just cut Medicare, but essentially abolish it, you know, I just think those people are not going to be part of the Tea Party. They're going to be over with Occupy Wall Street.” PeopleThinkingKnowsWantLongDoeHandsGovernmentRealizingPartyTalkingCuttingStreetsWallFineRepublicanTaxesMembersLowsObviousTeaElderlyMedicareAbolishTea PartyOccupy Wall Street Author:Bruce Bartlett
“I've learned a few things from the tea party, both the political one and the one in Alice in Wonderland. From the first, I learned that you can make people angrily shuffle in roughly the same direction if you appeal to their beliefs in poorly defined ways. From the second, I learned that England has some sort of substance called treacle.” PeopleIfsWayFirstsPoliticalBeliefPartyEnglandDefinedTeaAppealsSubstanceI've LearnedTea PartyWonderlandShuffleTreacle Author:Lore Sjoberg
