Sounds like you've been glued to your television.
I only watch tv for sports. Televised news consumption is for dummies.
Also, I don't even follow your insult.

In IDL's world, the only people who have a negative opinion of the Tea Party are those who have been indoctrinated by the liberal media.
Not saying I agree with that guy's comment, but I find it ironic that you are accusing him of watching anti-tea party propaganda when this thread is about a blatant propaganda device for spreading pro-tea party propaganda to little kids.
Calling all Tea partiers uneducated white racists is really dumbing things down, no?
I used to think that too based on watching MSM coverage, but it turns out there are a lot that want the US to stop taking part in wars, fight corruption, etc.
the stereotype is just a stereotype really.
Yeah i think its pretty silly not to mention not supported by any data to accuse the tea party base of having any kind of an agenda related to race.
I guess OldShadows first response nailed it.
I wouldn’t vote for him I don’t believe but what proof do you have of this statement.
Not of watching, but of using mass generalizations that are perpetuated in pop culture.
We are all exposed to propaganda on a daily basis.
Always though the phrase "glued to your TV" implied watching it.
haha well ok. My comment was a blunt way of calling out a mass generalization that is widely perpetuated on the MSM. There is a lot of throwing the baby out with the bathwater by labeling and generalizing the entire thing.

I've just noticed that everyone's laughing stock isn't as bad as they are made out to be on the MSM. There is a perception / reality divergence that isn't taken into account by most people.
You haven't done the research like we have. If you've really done the research, you'd learn that all Tea Partiers are horrendous racists who don't pay taxes and give all their money to the KKK and Cyborg Hitler. It's pretty easy to find this information you just need to know where to look. Jews.
Aren't there major news outlets which are part of the MSM that are very pro-tea party as well (Fox news comes to mind) ?
I think the main reason the Tea Party gets roasted here because most of the policies they are pushing are crap.
Yeah Fox is the only one I am aware of but I'm sure they have their own sites and what not. Most people don't watch that though so the general impression of them is pretty brutal.
Well, it goes without saying that if you agree with them, you're not going to consider them a laughingstock. But what it is is a bunch of people who got mad about the Global Financial Crisis and losing the election and focused their anger on people who lost their jobs and homes as a result of the GFC, and made it their mission to oppose any action to address the crisis. Obviously, there's a lot of astroturfing going on there.
It's funny how you make up all these bizarre scenarios, but turn a blind eye to actual examples of ultrawealthy "puppeteers" subverting a movement. I think it's like elephants vs. bigfoot. An elephant is a much more exotic, weirder animal than a big gorilla, but because elephants are real, no one gives a shit about them, while you have all kinds of kooks who dedicate their lives to bigfoot.
Fox News is the most watched 24-hour news channel out of the bunch. So much for being well researched, eh?
What percentage of the population would that be?
My perspective is that of outside the US looking in and most people just think 'oh Fox is propoganda' and pride themselves on not ever watching it. It seems that sentiment is also fairly well represented on here as well.
Not saying it isn't propaganda, but in terms of people getting anything but negative messages about the tea party it seems like a majority.

Perceived as crap, yes. Weather they are or not is a different story. They do have a lot of strong stances on things that most people would agree on I think. So as always it's taking the pros and cons. Problem is once you get a label or two, it doesn't matter what they do.
