So now, right here on the DU, the TEA PARTY is AWESOME. A model to be emulated

[Maru Kitteh]

and admired. The OP is bad enough, the comments that follow pull the lid back on just what kind of a freaky mind-bending cult the Sanders campaign has become.

Skinner should have called it.

1. That thread earned someone a full ignore.

The ignorance invading this board is distressing.

[IamMab]

2. Yeah, I'm pretty new here, and that still seems way OTT for supposed Democrats to be saying.

Bernie's movement is infested with not-subtle-at-all libertarians pretending to be progressives.

[SaschaHM]

3. They need to work on shifting the country to the hard left and showing up

during midterms first.

I highly doubt the "Artisinal Tea Party" is going to have any legislative success outside of Washington and a few other states. If anything, their far left candidates are just going to diminish chances for democrats to take back statehouses across the country, much in the way the Tea Party ruined many Senators in national contests.

[DemonGoddess]

4. TEA PARTY???

What the fuck? This is what they want?

[Maru Kitteh]

8. I know, right?

Popped into DU this morning and was "What the bloody hell am I reading - on DEMOCRATIC UNDERGROUND."

[Treant]

5. Sandbaggers?

The Green Tea Party?

I'm sure they could come up with a good name for it.

[Haveadream]

14. LOL!!

[JSup]

17. I'd go with...

..."The Chamomile Tea Fuddy-Duddy Fauxcialists".

[johnp3907]

6. Completely insane.

They've gone off the rails and tumbled over a cliff.

[all american girl]

7. I saw that...

have they not been around for the last 8 years? Tea Baggers in Congress are the reason we can't have nice things...they are one big reason that Obama had to deal with crap. These people have lost their minds. SMH

[stonecutter357]

9. wow

[creon]

10. Arrant nonsesne

The OP is arrant nonsense.
It is mere on line rhetoric; posturing for the sake of posturing.

lol

The Tea Party is nothing new.
It is a very old RW faction in American politics. "Tea Party" is a new name for an old faction.

[pandr32]

11. No surprise!

It has been easy to identify for a while now.

[Surya Gayatri]

12. Couldn't be any clearer than that.

A Progressive Tea Party, if you will is being born. And, those of us in this new movement are hell bent, like the Tea Party Republicans are doing in the Republican Party, on taking control of the Democratic Party.

[NurseJackie]

13. How 'bout this one where Hillary "Dog-Whistles for Obama's Assisination" (Ain't that a beauty?)

And by "beauty" what I actually mean is absolutely disgusting.

Skinner made a mistake by not "calling it". (And the owners of this site need to take a closer look at what people think is acceptable.)

[TeacherB87]

15. Their comparison is illegitimate but...

The underlying point about the movement trying to push the establishment out of leadership is a solid one. They were too angry when they wrote that post. It doesn't justify an overgeneralization about Bernie supporters being crazy like Tea Partiers...that's engaging in the same sort of illogical and emotion-based thinking that this poster is engaging in as well, just from the other side of the coin. Can we at least attempt to rise above it please?

[Maru Kitteh]

19. Who is this "we" since you call yourself a strong Bernie supporter?

and a Sandernista?

Are you still fuzzy on the concept of what the purpose of the Hillary Clinton forum is or what protected forums are?

We? If you are here because you understand that Hillary Clinton will be the nominee and would like to do your part to make sure she is elected the next POTUS so that we can

1. Save this country from whatever fecalphile the Republicans put up
2. Take the Senate and the House back
3. Have strong Progressive leadership in the WH that can actually get things done, unlike the Lone Ranger
4. Bring the SCOTUS back out of the dark ages.

then WELCOME. However, since you described yourself thusly just this morning, I believe we'll invite you to go ahead and take it somewhere else Sandinista.

[Cha]

23. Sorry, this is Hillary's Group.. that means for Hillary Supporters only.

You have the whole rest of the board to discuss your concerns.

Thank you.

[otohara]

16. Mate Tea Party

I chuckled when I saw this.

[SharonClark]

18. That was laughable

The author doesn't have a clue about how to take over or run a political party. I suggest he test his theory by taking over the Green Party.

[fleabiscuit]

20. Sheesh. Lost me on the first freaking sentence. What a dope.

[Maru Kitteh]

24. REVOLUTION MAN!

I think some of these people are um,

[mcar]

21. Jury left it 6-1

That's all that needs be said about the state of DU today.

[NastyRiffraff]

22. That is seriously weird n/t
