Quotes of the day
posted at 10:40 pm on February 25, 2010 by Allahpundit
“More likely to be white and male than the general population, tea partyers also skew toward middle age or older. That’s the tell. Most came of age in the 1960s, an era distinguished by widespread disrespect for government. In their wonder years, they learned that politics was about protesting the Establishment and shouting down the Man. No wonder they’re doing that now…
“The tea party is a harbinger of midlife crisis, not political crisis. For men of a certain age, it offers a counterculture experience familiar from adolescence — underground radio, esoteric tracts, consciousness-raising teach-ins and rallies replete with extroverted behavior to shock the squares — all paid for with ample cash…
“Ah, tea partyer, we know ye well. One of your signs says ‘Listen to ME!’ That’s all that’s ever really mattered — the original ‘me generation’ grabbing the spotlight and the world’s attention by whatever means necessary. The rest, whether beads, bell bottoms or birther slogans, is just a means to the same end.”

mrsmwp on February 25, 2010 at 11:27 PM
This is a typical lib tactic, to compare a segment of a group to a different group that is disliked. The Left does this all the time with Pub candidates, like stressing he/she isn’t as tough on abortion as are Fundamentalist Christians, to keep the Christians from voting for the candidate. It’s sickening to me–Dems always show disdain for Bible-thumpers, then try acting like our ‘friends’ come election time.
This is the same old ploy, to turn as many people as possible from the Tea Party movement by comparing the TP-ers to hippies. The problem for the libs, though, is that we conservatives can think on our own, and know there’s no comparison of today’s movement with the protesters of the 60s.
Liam on February 25, 2010 at 11:28 PM
HMMMMMMMMMMMM ” come to age in 1960 ? so the math is 1960 MINUS 18 = 1942 ?
sounds like that makes them Senior Citizens or AARP targets to me ?
Funny how this comes out and Charlie Rangel’s hand slap for taking a trip ( but no mention of his tax evasion or real estate scams )
Obama stunk it up today and they are in spin mode
Anyone else NOTICE that Hillary is becoming increasing VOCAL and critical of US policy the last 3-4 days ?
Is she reminding Obama he promised her a Seat on the SUPREME COURT and she wants it NOW?
Or is she ready to start campaigning for him?
Bad news for Obama I think even conservatives could unite behind her , rather than vote for a weak candidate like McCain ..anything but more NOBAMA
ELMO Q on February 25, 2010 at 11:28 PM
Wow same temp there than here (maybe lower here) and she goes out dressed like THAT? I’d be covered up the wazoo, talk about being used to the cold!
BTW it’s time Sarah spills her beauty secrets. Winter’s killing me.
GO SARAH GO!!! Oh and good luck to Todd on the Iron Dog!

Hey, for anyone in the Dallas area on Saturday February 27th from noon-2 they are having the one year anniversary of the Dallas Tea Party downtown at city hall. I heard that Steven Crowder and Zo will be there!!!
mrsmwp on February 25, 2010 at 11:28 PM
Hey now! As someone who has attended a tea party (not TEA party — where’d you get that from?) protest in Los Angeles, I can confirm that there are normal Americans even there. As I recall the one last February had people of all ages, a mix of libertarians, conservatives, and moderates, with a high concentration of homeschool mothers and kids (it was a weekday). Aside from the organizers and journalists, few people appeared to be “professional” protest attendees.
joe_doufu on February 25, 2010 at 11:29 PM
Happyfeet missed the memo, they are supposed to call into radio shows now. That is the new secret weapon.

conservative pilgrim on February 25, 2010 at 11:30 PM
That analysis is simply put stupid, Alla. Anyway, I saw Sarah and she did not sound great, I just don’t think she has it people. Like I aid before, after this inexperienced fool, does anyone think America will again elect an inexperienced person who can read a good speech but not interview well and sounds like a walking talking point. I think NOT. Good night all. I love Sarah, but not as my candidate. I am not impressed for the position of president.
immigrantchick on February 25, 2010 at 11:31 PM
Let me get this straight. Now critics are telling us that tea partiers are the people who went to Woodstock, held the sit-ins at Berkeley and Columbia, blew up federal buildings, and triggered the riots at the 1968 Democratic National Convention in Chicago?
I thought those were the people currently running the government and the closest thing that Obama has to friends.
BuckeyeSam on February 25, 2010 at 11:32 PM
Nobody’s saying that they’re ALL white and middle aged. Why are you so defensive about it? I KNOW they’re diverse, the one in downtown manhattan was definitely NOT 100% white (hell, it couldn’t have been…i was there). But saying that they’re diverse and that they’re mostly white are not mutually exclusive things…
ernesto on February 25, 2010 at 11:32 PM
Tea Partiers are a bunch of middle age white, racist, nazi, astroturf, 40-something, anti-establishment, anarchists, truther, birther, male, female, Palin supporting, libertarian, far right, fringe people?
Do I have it or did I miss something?
MeatHeadinCA on February 25, 2010 at 11:33 PM
she just babbles like someone pulled a string or something…
I think she could be every bit as effective as she is now – if not more so – if she wasn’t so dopey.
happyfeet on February 25, 2010 at 10:50 PM

How can McCain help Palin?
I think Palin probably thinks he could damage her very badly if she doesn’t dance monkey dance for him.
The reason I think she probably thinks this is because of it’s true.

Well, “angry white racist redneck males are on the rampage” is another one they trot out whenever yet another harebrained Dem scheme runs into trouble and they slide in the polls. This is starting to look like 1994 so much, it might be time to drag out the Soundgarden again.

ernesto, do you have a problem with the racial makeup of the tea parties?
conservnut on February 25, 2010 at 11:37 PM
So you think… ;-)
MeatHeadinCA on February 25, 2010 at 11:37 PM
I love how they keep trying to define the Tea Party movement. Why doesn’t the MSM just invite some of them on and ask them why they are part of the movement? Oh yeah, never mind I just answered my own question.
thevastlane on February 25, 2010 at 11:37 PM
I’m in L A so we had more Latinos than blacks though we did have balck people there… but I would say it was 50% white and 50% other i.e. latinos, asians especially Filipinos, blacks,and lots of kids and teenagers with their parents…my s17 yr old son was with me and he was really into the protest…

ernesto on February 25, 2010 at 11:40 PM
Whiskey Tango Foxtrot? Over.
Whoever this author is, you gotta give him credit for a big pair of brass ones. The sheer chutzpah of making statement like the above when his chosen candidate inhabiting the White House attempting to destroy the Constitution has as his entire cabinet a bevy of 60′s radicals who WERE protesting against the man in the 60′s, whose earliest supporter bombed the Pentagon in the 60′s.
Those in the Tea Party movement were the ones who weren’t protesting in the 60′s. Now they have to defend the country from the radicals who were.
/Whatta moron
AZfederalist on February 25, 2010 at 11:41 PM
Here is my own highly opinionated theory:
I think that the tea partiers are mostly white because most of black America has had a different version of American history taught to them and sees America differently in general than most white people. Truth be told, they are overwhelmingly liberal and support Obama – the complete opposite of tea partiers.
My version of American history is that the Founders were great men and the Constitution is a great document. I can understand how many even non-liberal black people would not think that way, even without being exposed to the lies of the Left. I also think the sort of “colonial” imagery may be off-putting to some African Americans for obvious reasons.
WisCon on February 25, 2010 at 11:41 PM
Not just African Americans.
ernesto on February 25, 2010 at 11:43 PM
I, a woman who came of age in the 1970′s, will be there with a large group of my high school students – all of whom are coming of age right now! It’s a 3 hour trip each way, so I sure hope that Crowder & Zo will be there…along with thousands of other Americans (from ALL walks of life)!
redwhiteblue on February 25, 2010 at 11:44 PM
Was anarchism ever groovy???
I’ll give you this. If Bill Maher and Tamyra (for Senate!1!) are libertarians, then I’m an anarchist…
MeatHeadinCA on February 25, 2010 at 11:44 PM
Tea Party folks in my area are 30s and 40s. It’s the ME Generation they are out protesting. All those dirty leftover people from the 60′s running the show. They should a kept on the drugs, maybe the country would be better off.
lonestar1 on February 25, 2010 at 11:44 PM
You guys have to understand where ernesto is coming from…
He’s bisexual.
So some of us just have to understand what it’s like to have another man sticking his pe nis in you whilst trying to enjoy a woman while being one…
Don’t ask me to figure out his thinking, ask him.
Seven Percent Solution on February 25, 2010 at 11:45 PM
What’s wrong with “colonial imagery”? It was bewigged former colonials who came up with things like, oh, the constitution.
ddrintn on February 25, 2010 at 11:45 PM
This is seriously your quote of the day post after that stellar presentation by Paul Ryan this afternoon?
Caiwyn on February 25, 2010 at 11:45 PM
Look buddy, I am just trying to give you a chance to clarify your point in your first comments. Perhaps I misread (and if I did I apologize) but I took it that you lamented or made a point of the fact that over 50% of the tea party were white males. My question is, what difference does that make?
conservnut on February 25, 2010 at 11:45 PM
You may be right, but I’ve heard some black people say that they are so thankful that their ancestors were brought here, even as slaves, because they get to live here in America and not some dangerous, corrupt sh!thole in Africa. Really, more people should be grateful that they are here.
mrsmwp on February 25, 2010 at 11:45 PM
If Ernesto is a bisexual, then AP is a gay that’s about to get baptized (ordered by Salem).

Hey, maybe we should wear “hotair” buttons! Here is the info I have.
mrsmwp on February 25, 2010 at 11:48 PM
Perhaps. Also most Americans are white and middle-class. Why shouldn’t the majority of any randomly-selected crowd be white and middle-class? I agree that education and culture are both particularly aggressive in assaulting people of color with anti-American themes. Most white people are not made from a young age to constantly think about their skin color and “white history” or “white culture” etc., but there are many voices telling blacks and latinos how they should think about things.
joe_doufu on February 25, 2010 at 11:49 PM
Great point as usual…
…. Happy Feet’s post look like something off a 5th graders face book yet she has the nerve to call Palin
“she just babbles like someone pulled a string or something…
I think she could be every bit as effective as she is now – if not more so – if she wasn’t so dopey.
Palin’s resume certainly is far superior to happy feet’s….he!! it’s superior to Obama’s and he is the liberals guiding force….their “light worker”.
Baxter Greene on February 25, 2010 at 11:49 PM
I like Palin, but she seemed almost as uninformed about healthcare as the Dems did at the summit today. Study up, gov, or stay off the tube. I flipped channels and found a doctor on CNN who held my interest longer the Palin did tonight. And Palin looked hotter than usual.
Maybe it’s Hannity’s inane questions, I don’t know. For my money, she seems to interview well only with Greta.
We’ll see. Fox News ain’t going to pay her for long if viewers tune out.
BuckeyeSam on February 25, 2010 at 11:49 PM
I hear ya. Even thinking about shooting a smoothbore Brown Bess musket which kicks like a mule is off-putting.
Bishop on February 25, 2010 at 11:49 PM
Please. People’s TRUE attitudes about the US can be found in the population flow numbers. The fact is that everyone wants to come to the US and almost none ever want to leave.
Your protestations mean nothing in the face of the population flows which PROVE that the US is better for all people than any other nation. It is that fact that REALLY ticks a lot of people off. Not you, but people you are shilling for.
neurosculptor on February 25, 2010 at 11:50 PM
Of course not, after generations of being pandered to by the left, along with revisionist “history” galore.

BuckeyeSam on February 25, 2010 at 11:52 PM
It’s not complicated at all, as Palin points out.
The LA Times would make it complicated because they cannot understand what “We The People” means.
Instead, the LA Times, et al, wouldn’t understand freedom, as long as Manuel is mowing their lawn and bringing them late’ coffee’s, they can live in a bankrupt state of mind.
Tea Party = (1)Less Government, (2)less taxes, (3)less regulation, (4)strong military, (5)Constitutional Values

At the grocery store I go to all of the checkers are African young men. I was talking to one of them last night and he said he was from Kenya. He went on about how great America was and how in Kenya you could not even walk out of a store with change because you would be held up or assaulted.
I was soooooo tempted to ask him if Obama was born there but I held my tongue. Maybe next time!

My favorite, a 45/90 Sharps, the Quigly gun. My father in law bought one. We took it out to the deer lease and nailed a target to a 5″ diameter mesquite tree at 300 yards and hammered it with about ten rounds. The tree fell over. WOOD!
conservnut on February 26, 2010 at 12:02 AM
Joe, the original TEA parties a year ago were formed from the position of Taxed Enough Already. Your experience was the same as mine on the first protest that I had ever attended on April 15. As a member of the maligned ’60′s cohort, I can tell you that most of us led law-abiding productive lives during that time and beyond. We were the silent majority. The media promoted the age of flower power and fiery protests. Now we see those same burnouts in the photography of zombietime during assorted San Francisco parades and protests. They would not be fit for prime time news whereas any TEA party gathering would be in contrast…unless of course the news crew would focus on some troll interloper.

Saltysam on February 26, 2010 at 12:08 AM
“Jim Spencer and Curtis Ellis are Democratic political consultants based in Boston and New York”
That is all you need to know about this waste of ink. This article in the LA Times is simply two life-long Democratic Party loyalists masking a “Olbermann-lite” meme on how us (Tea-Party Members) are white male racists.
Now that they see more “expose’s” come about as to who we are, these writers/hacks see that we are not the dolts the Matthews and Olby’s of the Left say we are. So….what to do?
Simple. Place on a new label and skew the demonization with a new slant. We are simply spoiled cry-babies, get it?
Oh….and don’t forget…we are mostly white…and racist.
Opposite Day on February 26, 2010 at 12:08 AM
It’s Hannity. He’s a lousy interviewer. She does much better with O’Reilly and Greta.
That being said, I don’t think we’re gonna get too much “specificity”(to use Hannity’s favorite word) from Palin in her interviews the rest of this year. It won’t be til she officially declares her candidacy that she starts to offer more details about what she would do as President.

The tea party I attended last April here in San Antonio was an extremely diverse group. The one thing we all had in common was how angry we are at what is going on in Washington. The sad thing that I have witnessed here in SAT is the group who organized that event has splintered, and there have been accusations and counter accusations of fraud, etc. In a way, it reminded me of the labor unions, which started off with the best of intentions but then mutated into the ugly evil organizations they are today.

Kini on February 26, 2010 at 12:20 AM
I hope they get a good turn out. But there’s some problems with this. First of all, it’s being led by a politician. Hannan’s a good guy, and probably the best they can come up with, but believe me, by US Tea Party standards, he’s pretty liberal. He’d fit in MA or any east coast city. Other problem is that he just gave people 2 days notice for the tea party. He should have turned it over to some interested citizens and let them fly with it. Third issue is that Hannan is motivated by partisan politics. David Cameron of the Conservative party is not pulling a commanding lead in the polls over Gordon Brown because he reneged on a promise to hold a referendum on EU membership. Brits are furious about that, and many former Tory voters are voting 3rd party. Hannan is doing some damage control for the party by catering to the anti-tax sentiment which is a valid grievance.
atheling on February 26, 2010 at 12:27 AM
Oh, Lord. They’re delusional. Since they were in the hippie groups doing the flower power thing, drugs, sex and rock-n-roll, they assume that conservatives must just be in that same mindset, only forty years later than they were.
Don’t they get it? We’re the adults at this party. We know how to measure consequences. If you spend too much, you have no money. If you tax too much, you have no jobs. If you take away money from someone to give to someone else, pretty soon you have no one making any money.
Why is that so hard to understand?
Tennman on February 26, 2010 at 12:31 AM
You assume they want to understand. They don’t.

I think we have the beginnings of understanding here: Liberal progressivism is a learning disability.

UMMMMM… AP, What the hell was that? You have an entire country pissed off that their freedoms, security, and wealth is being stolen from them in broad daylight, and you come up with some lame explanation about having a midlife crisis? You are better than that… I think!?!
Are there some inner demons you are trying to purge?
Worst of all you HAD to put Palin’s picture up there just to attach people to this ridiculous post.
I have never been one to attack you because I think your “balance” is need here… but GEEEZZZZ!

From a demographics point of view, it doesn’t make any difference what race makes up the Tea Party majority.
From History, many, if not all, Southern Democrats, were affiliated with the KKK. Which is what the LA Times is trying to paint the Tea Party as.
A Rules for Radicals tactic – smear the opposition.
Who was it that said, “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that All Men are created equal”
That comparison of Tea Party’ers as being radicals and as terrorist, is nullify as pure BS

Classic troll speak. Say you “love” a candidate but throw them under the bus at the same time.
Axlerod and DNC at work. Could even be those anonymous GOPers who want to stop Sarah. Wonder how much these trolls are paid anyway?

Look at any G-20 or World Bank protest…..does ANYONE take note of the demographics, other than the police officers who have to stand around in riot gear, while the protestors throw rocks, urine, feces, whatever they can at them, and only when they finally have to arrest them for property damage, burning cars, etc….
If we really wanted to answer their claims that the tea partiers are white and old…we could say, well I guess the only people that care about this country are white and old….it is simply NOT true!
I am of mixed race and if you call me old, I WILL beat you to death with your spine.

Hannan? He will be lucky to hold on to his seat. I can even see him getting de-selected by his own party. This is the jerk who touted Iceland’s economic miracle as a model for Briitain and the rest of the world. To quote a good movie “Well look at you now!!”
The Tories will probably win and so they should. Labor have been in charge for 12 years now at least and the toilet needs flushing just as it did here.

That LA Times drivel is so far removed from reality that I’m surprised that even that rag would print it. I doubt one person in fifty is even slightly fooled by this tripe.
What a load of unsubstantiated balderdash. Keep digging, dinosaurs.

Only the black sheeple. It shames me to say so, but black culture is shamelessly tied to the democrats, remaining linked mainly by entitlement programs and abortion.
However, I think the number of black conservatives is growing, and that many people (like myself) grow tired of seeing the results of the democratic agenda around themselves. I reject many facets of mainstream black culture and one of them is the allowing of one’s self to become a voluntary slave to the government.
So in a way, my exception proves the rule, because my race does influance my view on politics.
