House Democrat Leaders: Tea Partiers Are Racist, Nazi, Gun Nuts

If the Obama administration has taken flak for suggesting that conservative groups might be home to domestic terrorists, it looks like some House Democrat leaders are willing to go even further:

But in an interview on Fox TV in San Francisco, Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) chalked up the GOP grass-roots effort as "AstroTurf."

"This initiative is funded by the high end; we call it AstroTurf, it's not really a grass-roots movement. It's AstroTurf by some of the wealthiest people in America to keep the focus on tax cuts for the rich instead of for the great middle class," Pelosi said.

Other House Democratic leaders took a different tack: One senior aide has been circulating a document to the media that debunks the effort as one driven by corporate lobbyists and attended by neo-Nazis...

In addition, the tea parties are "not really all about average citizens," the document continues, saying neo-Nazis, militias, secessionists and racists are attending them. The tea parties are also not peaceful, since reporters in Cincinnati had to seek "police protection" during one of the events, it states.

The suggestions that these tea parties are driven by DC-based groups is laughable; Liz Mair takes a critical look and concludes the charge is baseless. Besides the points that Mair makes, it's worth noting that while there have been dozens of tea parties, few have featured conservative candidates or representatives of DC think tanks and lobbying groups.

As far as the charge that these rallies are composed of Nazis and terrorists, that's hard to reconcile with the pictures of participants. There are too many young children and grandparents. Further, even a strong Obama supporter like Susan Roesgen didn't turn up any violent types at the Chicago Tea Party, despite her best attempt to provoke a strong reaction.

There probably aren't many Democrats who genuinely believe the charges levied by their leadership. Nate Silver guesstimates that about 250,000 people have attended the tea parties - so far. Do Ms. Pelosi and other Democrat leaders think they're all neo-nazis?

If this is a conversation they want to have, however, perhaps Ms. Pelosi can explain the role of Marxists and North Korean sympathizers in the U.S. anti-war movement, or discuss how George Soros bought such influence in the Democratic party. It's not a debate that would help Democrats, since it's relatively easy to show the role of fringe extremists in the Democratic grassroots.

'Senior Democrats' ought to have the courage to publicly assert what they're whispering to the media. But if they're afraid to admit that they're slandering hundreds of thousands of grassroots organizers and activists, is it too much to hope that some reporter will share a copy of these secret talking points?

Since there was no link in the original posting I got from a 2A group on Yahoo, I did some research on my own. Here is a good beginning point with further links. Will the Neo-Nazi name calling turn out to be nothing more than an internet rumor? Who knows...

Just the fact that Pelosi so smugly derides the TEA Party movement as nothing but a "grass roots movement funded by the rich..." is yet further proof of her true attitude towards the disenfranchised people of America. She needs to go 2010, regardless of what she does regarding guns laws...

PuntPelosiIn2010.com, .net, .org, & .info are all available. All four would be a TOTAL of $39 for one year. It may be even cheaper if you sign up for a multi-year contract. Having the four extensions not only prevents someone from Pelosi's "crew" from putting up a compnaion site and possibly highjacking one we put up, but also still gets the people who mistype the site's extension to the right place...

Secondly, I know a new gun user's group who might be willing to host the site cheap...I posted the same thing there and they are PISSED!

So lets get serious about doing it then . Whos gonna create the web site and provide content ??? Then again it could just be a web site of nothing but You Tube clips of Princess Pelosi acting just like herself and that would be enough to sink her

BTW , It didnt have to be named " Punt Pelosi " , that was just the first thing that came to mind , if somebody comes up with something catchier thats all well and good
