I've seen the Gallup pool that says around 10% are very liberal and those 10% are most liberals on C-D

And 21% say that the Tea Party are hobbits. If the Tea Party are Hobbits, does that Make Obama Sauron or Gollum? Barack Hussein Ogollum? Barack Sauron Obama?

The really simple explanation is that Saul Alinsky went along with the words of Lenin about marginalizing the enemy in order to defeat them. That is why the media and the Dems are trying so hard to get people to thin this way about the Tea Party.

I have to agree with your thoughts about terrorists but that name calling is done to marginalize those people and it has worked well with 23% of the people in that poll.

You are one of the 23% who have been convinced by the left in their attempts to marginalize the Tea Party, I see.

They sure are! Parts of the Government act more like terrorists than the Tea Party for Pete's Sake. Take the T.S.A. for example. Also who is making all the decisions to bomb civilians in countries that aren't a threat? Is that not being a terrorist on a large scale (and using our tax dollars to pay for it without our permission)?

No, I was convinced by talking to self-identified Tea Party people.

They are clueless, ruthless and determined.

The toothless Left is no match for their soundbitetitude.

***Perhaps tellingly, while 53% of Democrats view Tea Party members as terrorists, 57% of voters not affiliated with either major party disagree, as do 74% of Republicans.***

29% Say Tea Party Members Are Terrorists, 55% Disagree - Rasmussen Reports™
At least 53% of Democrats polled are political lemmings and economic illiterates.

Whenever someone cites Alinsky, I usually stop reading.

Because really, not everything in life is a commie conspiracy.

Anyway, marginalization is a tool all people use. Hence the faux scare of Sharia. Just what do you think THAT is, roy?

Like this post, for example.

Case in point.

It's highly likely that this is the same 23% that believed Bush was behind the 9/11 attacks.
