			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>With <a href="http://www.gallup.com/poll/127181/Tea-Partiers-Fairly-Mainstream-Demographics.aspx" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.gallup.com/poll/127181/Tea-Partiers-Fairly-Mainstream-Demographics.aspx?referer=');">a poll</a> released this morning that examines the demographics of the group.   And considering that the Obamites have desperately attempted to portray Tea-Partiers as a bunch of unemployed, malcontent, bitter, clinging, hick-tard haters, and homophobic, misogynistic, knuckle-dragging <strong>RAAAAAAACISTS!</strong>, the results are all that much more surprising; especially when compared to the overarching demographics of the nation in general.</p>
<p>You know, the very diversity and multi-culti balance that <strong>MUST!</strong> be somehow exhibited by every facet of our society, and especially by groups that will be showcased as props by politicians who profess the belief that it somehow enhances the absolute moral authority of the <span style="text-decoration: line-through">connivance</span> <span style="text-decoration: line-through">scam</span> <span style="text-decoration: line-through">flim-flam</span> <span style="text-decoration: line-through">hokey-doke</span> point they are making at that moment.</p>
<p>So without further ado, I present for the edification of the, &#8220;<strong>I don&#8217;t see anyone who looks like me up there!&#8221;,</strong> identity politics card playing set, the central results of said poll.   A study conducted by the bastion of left-wing metaphysical certitude <a href="http://www.gallup.com/home.aspx" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.gallup.com/home.aspx?referer=');">Gallup</a>; and not the heinous and assuredly biased wingery-<strong>WINGERED!</strong> crpto-nazi SKKKott <a href="http://www.rasmussenreports.com/" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.rasmussenreports.com/?referer=');">RasmuSSen</a>&#8230;</p>
<div id="attachment_6526" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 397px"><a href="http://powip.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/tpd.gif"><img class="size-full wp-image-6526" src="http://powip.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/tpd.gif" alt="" width="387" height="598" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Damn the truth! Full OUTRAGE! ahead</p></div>
<p>Notice how in just about every category the Tea-Party folks match the country-wide demographics.  There are small, notable exceptions.  One is that it does seem like there are less black folks in the movement than nationwide, but only about by half; and indeed that is no surprise since upwards of 90 percent of that same group voted for Obama in the general election.  Another is that there are actually less unemployed that self identify with the movement than there are nationally, shattering another talking point and bit of pipe-dreaming by the far left; that when employment picks up there will be less folks attending these rallies.<br />
I hope that Axelrod, Plouffe et al aren&#8217;t planning on betting the farm on that last one&#8230;</p>
<p>Make sure you read all of the poll comparisons to taste the sweet, sweet, All-American goodness.</p>
<p><a href="http://ace.mu.nu/" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/ace.mu.nu/?referer=');">Ace</a>, in high snark form, deliciously askes the question; &#8221; <a href="http://ace.mu.nu/archives/300237.php" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/ace.mu.nu/archives/300237.php?referer=');">If a poll falls in the forest without reinforcing &#8216;the Narrative&#8217; will anyone hear it?</a>&#8220;  And then follows it up with;</p>
<blockquote><p>For purposes of comparison, it&#8217;s <em>more white</em> than a Kwanzaa Greeting Card Salesman Convention, but much <em>less white</em> than the all-white country club known as &#8220;The MSNBC Anchor Team.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>That.is.snark-o-licious.</p>
<p><a href="http://hotair.com/" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/hotair.com/?referer=');">Cap&#8217;n Ed</a> also has <a href="http://hotair.com/archives/2010/04/05/who-are-the-tea-partiers/" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/hotair.com/archives/2010/04/05/who-are-the-tea-partiers/?referer=');">an interesting post on the same poll</a>, and as a bonus throws in results of another that indicates more Americans would vote for a candidate that espouses the Tea-Party principles of less government/less spending and job creation than the sooper-groovy, almost messianic, Conniver-in-chief.</p>
<p><em>Now <strong>That&#8217;s</strong></em> <strong>!</strong> change I can believe in&#8230;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Remember the health care protests over the summer?Â  There was an incident at the St. Louis gathering held byÂ Russ Carnahan where a diminutive black man was involved in an incident with a couple of SEIU members:</p>
<blockquote><p>SEIU and partisan hacks like Media Matters have tried to spin away the Gladney beating. They would have you believe a 130 lb diabetic, recovering luekemia patient, picked a fight with men almost twice his size. The police report puts an end to that lie.</p></blockquote>
<p><a href="http://biggovernment.com/2009/11/09/exclusive-police-report-on-gladney-beating-by-seiu-thugs/" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/biggovernment.com/2009/11/09/exclusive-police-report-on-gladney-beating-by-seiu-thugs/?referer=');">See the entire police report here at Andrew Breitbart&#8217;s site.</a>Â  It clearly details that the SEIU thigs referred to Gladney using the &#8220;N&#8221; word and then the cowards beat him badly; I guess they took the President&#8217;s instructions to punch back twice as heard a bit too literally&#8230;Or maybe not-who knows?</p>
<p>But it&#8217;s no surprise that they would have little respect for their opponents as human beings.Â  <a href="http://corner.nationalreview.com/post/?q=MGU3N2E5NzFhZjRiOTkyMjRhNDk0YWNiZGM1NjQ4NzU=" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/corner.nationalreview.com/post/?q=MGU3N2E5NzFhZjRiOTkyMjRhNDk0YWNiZGM1NjQ4NzU=&amp;referer=');">Especially when Mr. Obama himself has taken to referring to the tax/obamacare Â protesters as &#8220;teabaggers</a>&#8220;; <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tea_Party_protests#Origins_of_Teabagging" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tea_Party_protests_Origins_of_Teabagging?referer=');">the filthy termÂ mainstreamed by MSNBC</a>.Â  Stay classy Mr. Obama, oh great post-partisan uniter&#8230;</p>
<p>I mean, you are supposed to be the President of the United States, and not just of liberal Democrats.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Thereâ€™s been a lot of faux outrage in Democrat circles about how the â€œtea-baggersâ€ and town hall health care opponents are, in reality, professionally organized mobs who are only intent on â€œshouting downâ€ the opposition.Â  Like many, I am amused at the irony of the party that invented â€œshouting downâ€, and who so effectively used flash mobs of brown-shirt astroturfers in the 2008 Presidential campaign, whining like spoiled children when their legislative agenda is thwarted by actual â€œgrassrootsâ€ groups of ordinary concerned citizens; as well as when they project <a href="http://gatewaypundit.blogspot.com/2009/08/tea-party-patriots-greet-obama-s.html" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/gatewaypundit.blogspot.com/2009/08/tea-party-patriots-greet-obama-s.html?referer=');">their own</a> usual <a href="http://gatewaypundit.blogspot.com/2009/08/priceless-violent-tea-party-disrupter.html" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/gatewaypundit.blogspot.com/2009/08/priceless-violent-tea-party-disrupter.html?referer=');">methodology</a> and <a href="http://gatewaypundit.blogspot.com/2009/08/dems-continue-phony-health-care-rallies.html" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/gatewaypundit.blogspot.com/2009/08/dems-continue-phony-health-care-rallies.html?referer=');">tactics</a> onto that same agitated opposition.</p>
<p>It kind of reminds me of the phony self-righteousness of the MSM; holding conservatives to a higher standard than liberals <em>because of the hypocrisy</em>.Â  I guess that in a universe where there were actually objective mainstream news sources, videos like these posted by Capâ€™n Ed, from <a href="http://hotair.com/archives/2009/08/31/video-the-chicago-way/" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/hotair.com/archives/2009/08/31/video-the-chicago-way/?referer=');">Arizona</a> and <a href="http://hotair.com/archives/2009/09/01/video-hcan-instructing-people-how-to-disrupt-meetings/" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/hotair.com/archives/2009/09/01/video-hcan-instructing-people-how-to-disrupt-meetings/?referer=');">Illinois</a>, would receive a lot of play <strong>because they expose the usual rank hypocrisy of the Democratâ€™s public assertions regarding any and all opponent</strong>; <em>and after all, thatâ€™s what the MSM is concerned about exposing, eh</em>?</p>
<p>Not.So.Muchâ€¦</p>
<p>No, to actually report on these kind of episodes would disrupt the meta-narrative that the MSM is trying to craft for Obamacare.Â  And, it might have the horrible unintended consequence of legitimizing the protesters and their grievances.Â  <strong>We canâ€™t have that!</strong> Not when dedicated <del datetime="2009-09-01T14:13:18+00:00">journalists</del> shills like Chris â€œTingleâ€ Matthews, Keith Olbermann, and Eugene Robinson are doing their duty!, trying to <a href="http://hotair.com/archives/2008/11/06/matthews-i-want-to-do-everything-i-can-to-make-this-new-presidency-work/" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/hotair.com/archives/2008/11/06/matthews-i-want-to-do-everything-i-can-to-make-this-new-presidency-work/?referer=');">ensure that the Obama Presidency is successful</a>.</p>
<p>But, unfortunately for people of their ilk, a large portion of the public is focused on this debate, and get word of mouth and talk radio reports of this kind of chicanery. And so ultimately this might just be a win-win for conservatives.Â  Not only might Obamacare be defeated, but so too might the reality of the bias and duplicity of the media be substantially impressed in the public consciousness in such a way that their propaganda will have far less impact in the future.</p>
<p>I mean, we can all see how well itâ€™s working.Â  Just look at Obamaâ€™s <a href="http://www.zogby.com/news/ReadNews.cfm?ID=1737" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.zogby.com/news/ReadNews.cfm?ID=1737&amp;referer=');">soaring</a> approval <a href="http://powip.com/2009/08/daily-nugget-of-hope-for-the-change-we-need/">ratings</a>!</p>
<p>Â </p>
<p><strong>UPDATE:</strong> Ooops! Spoke too soon.Â  Make that a <em>trifecta</em>.Â  It seems that suddenly the MSM feels that a candidates college writings <strong><em>are vitally important </em>!1!1!!eleventy<em>. </em></strong>Well at least when that candidate is, you know,Â a <a href="http://gatewaypundit.blogspot.com/2009/09/state-run-media-hypocrisy-alert.html" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/gatewaypundit.blogspot.com/2009/09/state-run-media-hypocrisy-alert.html?referer=');">large state Republican </a>in a tight race!</p>
