Soledad O'Brien To Tea Party's Amy Kremer: Questioning Obama's Love Of America Is 'Code Word For Something Else' (VIDEO)

Posted: 09/04/2012 11:35 am

Soledad O'Brien and the panelists on Tuesday's "Starting Point" got into a testy exchange with Tea Party activist Amy Kremer over her allegation that President Obama doesn't "love America the way we do."

Last week, Kremer — the chairperson of the Tea Party Express group — tweeted that the difference between Obama and Mitt Romney was that Mitt loves America. When asked to explain what she meant, Kremer had some trouble expressing herself. She said that Obama was "more about being one world" and "not about the shining city on the hill."

2. Why do some people think that the US needs to be "special"?

We all live here and we find our own country "special". Not sure why it's so important that everybody else has to believe that we're "special".

16. It's surprising that so many things once considered "self-evident"

are now being argued.

Even basic human equality.

15. Obama doesn't love America like we white folks do. He was born in Africa.

I'm reminded of this:

9. true that.

Right wingers love America in a way not based in reality. They judge love for America by flag lapels and the size of the foam finger on their hand. They will shout "We're Number One!" until they are hoarse but it is not a love with any substance in it.

10. The only shining city Mitt Romney believes in is Salt Lake City.

Period.

Just admit it, you teabilly moron.

He will love America as much as Romney?
