RE: Tea Party Wants to Lynch Obama

Falsely accusing people of racism is racism. Penn is a racist.

Cain is the Tea Party favorite because his policies match their political preferences. If Cain where white or Hispanic, he would remain the Tea Party favorite.

Melissa Harris-Perry is on MSNBC right now talking about her piece in The Nation in which she explains that if white liberals abandon Obama in the 2012 election, it means that they have held him to a higher standard than they would have a white president.

I don't know what Sean Hannnity says. I don't watch Fox anymore--I find it boring. I watch MSNBC and CNN exclusively.

It's not just Chris, but most of the liberal commentators I hear who hold these kinds of whacky views.

He throws some darts, he occasionally hits the mark. Does he have a bet-the-house finger on the pulse of liberalism? Does he speak for all liberals? No.

Does Sean Hannity speak for all conservatives? Please tell me he doesn't.

Really? I find that Chrissy typically has his finger on the pulse of American liberalism; the tingle and all? Kind of Obama-crush in a nutshell.

I expect his view of Cain and the R's to be a portent of things to come.

Sean Penn only speaks for Sean Penn.

Like Hank Williams, Jr.

Same for Chris Matthews. He's in the moron class of media pundit.

Paul Ryan loves the 9-9-9 plan.

Yes, they may like Herman Cain, but Cain likely won't be the Republican nominee. Not nominating Cain wll prove once and for all that all Republicans are racist, not just the Tea Party people. I kid you not. Chris Matthews said it on his show. So no out there! Suck it up, people. wink

Penn is an idiot...the so called "racists" would love to see Cain be President.

Why can't the libs realize that many hate Obama because his policies are hurting America. It has nothing to do with his skin color.

Just when you thought they couldn't get any crazier.....Politico reports this from the esteemed Sean Pean:

Sean Penn – actor, activist and outspoken liberal – unloaded on the tea party during an appearance on CNN’s “Piers Morgan” on Friday. Looking particularly scruffy, Penn echoed comments made by his Hollywood colleague Morgan Freeman last month, explaining why he thinks the tea party has racist motives.

Calling it “the get the ‘N’ word out of the White House party,” Penn said that the tea party is a “problem” and a “distraction” for President Barack Obama.

“If you ask a representative of the tea party, OK, Social Security, socialist, get rid of it? They're going to get very confused," he said. "At the end of the day, there's a big bubble coming out of their head saying, you know, can we just lynch him?”

Penn said he will “very likely” vote for the president's re-election, explaining that “Barack Obama is as capable of being a great president as anybody that we've got walking.”

Making a movie reference, Penn went on to say, “I would love to see Barack Obama be Bulworth. I'd love to see what I've always wanted to see, somebody run as a one term president and show me that people aren't stupid. They do care about each other. And when he does the right things and takes on the controversies, he's going to win the next election.”
