Fox News' Jesse Watters Confronts Rep. Maxine Waters on "Tea Party Go to Hell" Comment (VIDEO)

I have no use for Fox News, but I will admit, Jesse Watters' video showing his confrontation with Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) over comments she made about Fox News and the Tea Party, is hilarious because that's the first time I have ever seen Mrs. Waters speechless on camera.

Andrew Breitbart Raises Eyebrows After Saying Republicans "Outnumber Liberals" and "We Have The Guns"

I consider right wing blogger Andrew Breitbart no better than a bottom-feeder and I have set the bar pretty low where he's concerned but he's making waves after threatening liberals that conservatives have "guns too." Ooooh, I'm scared. According to Raw Story, Breitbart was speaking to a Massachusetts tea party group (surprise, suprise) telling the gathering of Republicans that he sometimes wants to “fire the first shot.” Um, please do. Put your money where your mouth is. Get a gun and start firing on a crowd of liberals, you moron!
“I’m under attack all the time,” he said. “The call me gay. There are death threats… There are times when I’m not thinking as clearly as I should, and in those unclear moments, I always think to myself, ‘Fire the first shot. Bring it on.’ Because I know who’s on our side.

“They can only win a rhetorical and propaganda war. They cannot win. We outnumber them in this country and we have the guns… I’m not kidding. They talk a mean game, but they will not cross that line because they know what they’re dealing with. ”

Breitbart added that “major named people in the military” will sometimes “grab” him and say, “Thank you for what you’re doing, we’ve got your back.”  Source: Raw Replay
News flash to Andrew Breitbart, people pick on you because you wallow in the mud like a pig, trying to perpetrate a major fraud that you are the moral compass of the Republican Party, just like Rush Limbaugh. He represents the worst of the media world. After the he tried to lynch the character of black former USDA director Shirley Sherrod, he lost a lot of credibility among decent, law-abiding citizens.

Tea Party Movement Gets Black Eye After Audience Cheers Death of Hypothetical Man Without Insurance During CNN/Tea Party Debate

The mere fact that members in the audience at the CNN/Tea Party debate cheered when Rep. Ron Paul implied that a man without health insurance should just be left to die if he needs medical attention, is further proof on why I can't take the Tea Party serious. They also guffawed when the debate focused on Gov. Rick Perry's assertion that Bernanke should be tried for treason. I started watching the debate, but switched to another channel more than half-way through the broadcast. I
What do you tell a guy who is sick, goes into a coma and doesn't have health insurance? Who pays for his coverage? "Are you saying society should just let him die?" Wolf Blitzer asked.

"Yeah!" several members of the crowd yelled out.

"We never turned anybody away from the hospital," he said of his volunteer work for churches and his career as a doctor. "We have given up on this whole concept that we might take care of ourselves, assume responsibility for ourselves ... that's the reason the cost is so high," Rep. Ron Paul said.
t was disturbing and set the Tea Party movement back, in my opinion. To put it simply, the outburst is another disturbing example of a conservative debate audience cheering death, since this happened during last week's debate as well, when Perry claimed he slept comfortably at night with the assumption that his state hadn't executed any innocent people. If they can cheer for the death of anyone, then it's quite easy to see that members of the movement harbor racist views as well.

Protester at Saturday's Tea Party on the National Mall in Washington D.C. Says "We Think the Muslims are Moving In & Taking Over" (VIDEO)


A protester at Saturday's Tea Party on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. said "We are losing our country, we think the Muslims are moving in and taking over." NBC Nightly News interviewed the woman, who was surrounded by fellow protesters as she made the remarks. Of course, she declined to give her name. Why am I not surprised about that?
Participants at the event, billed "March on Washington" by its organizers, rallied against President Obama's health care plan and what they say is out-of-control spending. It is amazing that these people didn't come out of the woodwork when President George W. Bush squandered our money, sent our soldiers to fight a war in Iraq on the basis of a lie and gave Osama bin Laden enough time to high-tail it out of Afghanistan. Wow. It's amazing that these people didn't march on Washington D.C. when the country fell in the worst economic decline in recent history. So what if President Barack Obama was a Muslim? Aren't there a lot of decent, law-abiding Muslims in this country? This behavior is a throwback to the racial unrest that existed in this country during one of its darkest moments.

I would much rather remember the outpouring of support for President Barack Obama and his historic inauguration day, than this madness organized by Glenn Beck, Dick Armey & Co.
