The DNC has put out a new ad attacking Newt Gingrich as the “original tea partier” with “three decades of tea party politics.” – As if that’s a bad thing.

Here is video of Herman Cain responding to actor Morgan Freeman’s attack on the Tea Party as being composed of a bunch of racists who just want to “get this black man” out of the White House.
Cain simply pointed out that it is doubtful Freeman has ever even been to a Tea Party – a nice way of saying he’s ignorant of the facts. Cain told Neil Cavuto he is not offended by Freeman, but that it’s “sad” that someone would attack people without knowing what the reality is on the ground.

Here is video of Glenn Beck on his Radio Show this morning hammering Mitt Romney for his “dirty trick” in attacking Rick Perry on Social Security during the GOP Debate last night in Florida.
Beck said Romney is “showing his progressive side” in attacking Perry for saying Social Security has failed and is a “Ponzi scheme.” Beck went even further, saying that if Romney gets the GOP Presidential Nomination, the Tea Party will likely “split off” and run a third-party candidate, giving the election to Barack Obama.

Here is video of MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough this morning saying President Obama should call out Teamsters President Jimmy Hoffa Jr. for violent rhetoric yesterday when he urged to crowd, “Let’s take these son of a bitches out” – referring to the Tea Party and Congressional Republicans.
So far, the Obama White House has not disavowed Hoffa’s statement.

Speaking today at a Labor Day Rally in Detroit just ahead of President Obama, Teamsters President Jimmy Hoffa said unions are “at war” with the Tea Party and Congressional Republicans, and that “the workers of Michigan and America” are going to win that war. He shouted to the crowd, “Let’s take these sons of bitches out and take America back to where America belongs.”
These are the soldiers for Obama’s re-election committed to that “more civil” tone he is always lecturing everyone about.

GOP presidential candidate Sen. Rick Santorum reacts to Rep. Maxine Waters saying the Tea Party “can go straight to hell.” Santorum blasted Waters as “vile” and said the comment didn’t really surprise him because she’s always been “one of these real nasty anti-basic traditional and fundamental values of this country.”

Don’t you just love how the Democrats maintain a tone of civility – even when they get their clocks cleaned. The Debt Limit Deal may not be all that good a deal in terms of getting at the root problem, but it sure has the Democrats furious. That’s always a good thing!
POLITICO: Vice President Joe Biden joined House Democrats in lashing tea party Republicans Monday, accusing them of having “acted like terrorists” in the fight over raising the nation’s debt limit.
Biden was agreeing with a line of argument made by Rep. Mike Doyle (D-Pa.) at a two-hour, closed-door Democratic Caucus meeting.
“We have negotiated with terrorists,” an angry Doyle said, according to sources in the room. “This small group of terrorists have made it impossible to spend any money.”
Biden, driven by his Democratic allies’ misgivings about the debt-limit deal, responded: “They have acted like terrorists,” according to several sources in the room.
Biden’s office declined to comment about what the vice president said inside the closed-door session. . . . . Read More

Beyond condescending.
Here is video of CNN Anchor Don Lemon conducting an “interview” with GOP Sen. Rand Paul on the ongoing Debt Limit struggle. Actually, Lemon was totally unprofessional and condesending toward Paul, telling him at the outset he didn’t want to hear “talking points,” while he himself spouted one Democrat Talking Point after another!
Throughout the interview, Lemon interrupted Paul, especially when Paul was giving answers he did not agree with! At one point he literally shouted Paul down to cut off his answer and ask another question. Paul held his ground, and did well in a very difficult environment.
