NY Times Survey Says: MSNBC Progressives, Tea Partiers Have Four of Five Traits in Common

Mike Opelka

A recent New York Times poll finds the stupid, racist Tea Party people are really smarter, wealthier and better educated than MSNBC (and even the Times) would have you know. The recently released survey shows:

  1. Fewer than 1 in 5 Americans consider themselves Tea Party People (18%)

  2. They believe Sarah Palin is not qualified to be President

  3. They blame Congress (not just Bush) for the economic problems we are experiencing.

  4. Ninety percent think America is headed in the wrong direction (compared with just 60% of the general public).

  5. Their major issues are health care, the economy, and the deficit.

Tax Day Protests

Four of the five facts posted above might lead you to believe that the Tea Party is in line with the thinking of most of America, leading one to wonder: just what is the problem with mainstream media and these Tea Party people, anyway? What in the world will Ed Schultz, Nora O’Donnell and the MSNBC Progressive Friends Club do when they discover that they have so much in common with the Tea Party people?

Oh wait… Let’s not forget the “R” word. “RACISM” is the deal breaker in this potential relationship.

Speaking of Ms. O’Donnell, she must have pulled a muscle stretching to find the hidden racism in Newt Gingrich’s recent comments about President Obama’s athletic abilities. Note the gales of richly deserved laughter her strained attempt to impugn Gingrich elicits from her colleagues:

And then there’s Kelly O’Donnell (no kin), who attended one of those (racist) Tea Party events and interviewed someone that she must have thought was lost, a black man. Listen to the response from this gentleman when he is asked if the (racist) Tea Party people make him “uncomfortable.”

His incredulous answer: “These are my people. Americans.”

So you see, the Tea Party is sort of like you and me, except for the part about the racism and hatred of people that are any color other than white. And if you cannot grasp this obvious point, consider immediate MSNBC Immersion Therapy – 24 hours of sleepless viewing of Maddow, Olbermann, Matthews and Schultz.

I hear it’s covered 100% under Obamacare.
