Far Right, Far Out

If the Tea Party really is this 'fringe racist far right' movement, then why exactly are liberals and Democrats so infuriated by the Tea Party's success? If the Tea Party really is the far right movement they claim it is, then the Tea Party could only be drawing followers from the Republican party ( according to the logic of the liberals, who think that racism is only found on the right ).

Why does the left keep complaining about the Tea Party if it is only drawing members away from the GOP? Shouldn't they be popping champagne corks?

I think the real story is that Democrats know that their party is also losing members to the Tea Party, as people wake up to the fact that multinational corporate and financial interests own both the Dems and the GOP. The Democrats know that the TP is attracting pro-labor/

anti-globalization/anti-open borders/anti-Wall Street former Democrats. Rather than make an honest attempt to earn back the support of such people, they show the worst kind of sour grapes, and scream insults like 'racist' at them.

Liberals go on and on about 'the anger' in the Tea Party but liberals themselves are fuming that some Democrats are exploring their third party options. Their herd is restless. Why? Because Democrats talk a good game about fighting for the working class but don't follow through. Once they get in power, they work for the powerful.
