LOL! Oh, yes, it is very well known outside of the US and nearly universally hated as their BS is completely transparent even to foreigners.

I do wonder how you wing nuts can keep lying to yourselves yet be mystified that no one else believes your bull.

Black voters know a Tea Partier in the Senate will not represent their interests. Democrats don't normally win in Mississippi, so they will probably be stuck with a Republican no matter what. They exercised their right to try to get the best representation in Washington they could. Voting against the candidate they perceive as being hostile to them is totally within their rights.

Why do you want to deny people the right to vote for the candidate that they feel best represents them? That doesn't sound very American to me.

They didn't just get up and go vote for him. Thad ran disgusting racist ads in those communities telling them lies and they fell for it. I guess those people like getting used. CHECK THE DEM PRIMARY ROLLS!

As this article well illustrates, the Tea Party is nothing but a reactionary, racist and repugnant, national disgrace for the USA.
Ah, the 'outside' world has always been pretty much irrelevant to us as we are to them. Try injecting yourself in French or Belgian politics and see the response you get.

The way the OW hears of news is thru the media, which is a bonafide government propaganda machine in the same vein as Pravda in the old USSR.

To believe that tripe applies to the T-party, which is really just an idea and not a political party, is the height of ignorance and prejudice motivated by a political agenda.

Go to a football game and see a large crowd wearing the home team's jersey. Some idiot also wearing the home team's jersey beats some other guy to near death. So the media reports that all people who wear the home jersey are ruthless sociopaths. This is what the OP is suggesting. Blind ignonorance intentionally spoonfed by a propaganda machine.

Governments and their rabid dog activists thrive on the uninformed and gullible. Throughout history, nothing has changed. The flea bitten crowds of the middle ages have bred and are alive an well today basking in the same ignorance and unquestioning beliefs.

Cochran reminded them McDaniel was a Tea Partier. That was enough.

What did McDaniel do to reach out to the black community? Nothing. They owe him exactly the same in return, nothing.

I'll take that bet. Then I'll take everything you own - if you have anything.

And the rightwing media does the same on the other side. They slam Obama and the Democrats every chance they get. It only matters when the other side does it, right?
