Guttersnipe POLITICO calls Tea Party Activists "bigots"

Dark Side of Conservatism is how a perfesser calls the Tea Party activists, comparing them with other populists unfavorably and simply making a hash of any rational argument against the conservative right.

Hilarious BS from a leftoid crank who won a leftoid history prize for writing on populists.

"

But historically, whether it was the JBS or Goldwater, the radical right has often had a soft spot for bigots." is a sentence which pseudo-historians and agitprop leftoid columnists use to tar with the same brush, implying that the Tea Partiers are bigots because "the radical right has often had a soft spot for bigots." The syllogism is as incorrect as Postel is dishonest, which is completely. The same syllogism could be reversed and the words "radical left" and "terrorist attacks on government buildings" with equal validity. William Ayers, who stains the latest New Yorker with an apology for terrorists is a perfect example of the old Marxist maxim "No Fault on the Left."

Another egregious solecism committed by this San Fran State radical-left "historian" is when he says that the so-called "radical right...have feared that their freedom will be lost if the government extends a hand to the have-nots and the unprotected" in an attempt to brand them as red-lining the "poor."
TEA stands for "Taxed Enough Already" and a third-rate scribbler/agitpreppie like Postel ignores the fact that the Tea Partiers are against Big Government's taking over the entire economy and taxing the hard-working tax payers much more than previously under the man-child "community organizer" screwing up the economy at the moment.

Postel is what used to be called a "guttersnipe" or "Yellow Journalist" whose writings have no end other than to promote a dishonest and illogical political agenda. The US is indeed heading rapidly toward Greece's situation with the encouragement of know-nothings like Postel.
And California is the 51st state, counting the District of Columbia, in terms of deficit overruns and sheer political spendthrifts ruining a state's economy. No wonder 1.5 million people have left CA since 2008. Even the illegal immigrants desert a sinking ship when they see they're on one!
