Yes, They're Angry

Throughout this campaign season the liberal media and the Democrats have been portraying Tea Partiers and other conservatives as "angry". Well, yes, they're angry writes Moe Lane at RedState.com. Who wouldn't be angry given what has been said about them and the people they respect and support during the last year.

Lane writes:
  • These people (liberals) told their clients (i.e. their readers and listeners) to say that:
  • you hate African-Americans.
  • you hate Latinos.
  • you hate gays.
  • you hate women.
  • you hate Jews.
  • you hate Muslims.
  • you hate the poor.
  • you hate America.
  • you were fascists.
  • you were theocrats.
  • you were stupid.
  • you were uneducated.
  • you were hatemongers.
  • you were insane.
  • you were violent extremists.
  • These people told their clients to call you unpatriotic.
  • to call you cowards.
  • These people told their clients to mock you at every opportunity.
  • to deliberately use a sexual slur when referring to you.
  • to trivialize and dismiss your concerns at every opportunity.
It's true that every one of the epithets and slanders Lane lists has been employed by liberals, either in the Democratic party, the main-stream media, or cable talk - or all three - against the Tea Party as a whole or against individual Tea Party-supported candidates at one point or another over the last year. If Tea Partiers are angry maybe they have a right to be.

If the "Tea-nami" that has been forecast actually materializes at the polls today the Left will have nothing and no one to blame for stirring up these hornets but their own policies and their own execrable, disgusting, rhetoric.
