Ex-Dem Congressman: “Tea Party Members Have Much In Common With The Taliban”…

Originality not being high up on the left’s priority list these days.

(Politico, Martin Frost) — Ten years ago, the Taliban in Afghanistan destroyed two gigantic figures of Buddha, carved into a hillside 18 centuries before. The world was aghast at this barbarian act taken in the name of religious purity. But was powerless to stop it.

We now have a group of U.S. politicians seeking political purity, who seem to have much in common with the Taliban. They are tea party members; and because of blind adherence to smaller government, they seem intent on risking destroying what American political leaders have constructed in more than two centuries of hard, often painful work. Like the Taliban, they see compromise as an unacceptable alternative.

As part of the House Republican majority, these uncompromising tea party members present an enormous challenge to Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) as he seeks to reach a compromise which can avert an unprecedented U.S. default on Aug. 2.

    yawn.

    Racists, terrorists, yawn, these people think its still 2008, race baiting, fear mongering is so 2008.

    Independents want real solutions not some fear mongering bullchit.

    Not true.

    The left are willing to work with the Taliban.

    Arab Spring – how about another Tea Party Fall, Winter, Spring and Summer. That would be a Tea Party Year, I guess. Let’s call it 2012 Alpha Mike Foxtrot Barry!

    Hey Politico:

    Where’s your story about hussein spending more than ALL presidents since George Washington?

    Where’s your story about this:

    “The fact that we are here today to debate raising America’s debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the US Government cannot pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government’s reckless fiscal policies. Increasing America’s debt weakens us domestically and internationally. Leadership means that ‘the buck stops here.’ Instead, Washington is shifting the burden of bad choices today onto the backs of our children and grandchildren. America has a debt problem and a failure of leadership. Americans deserve better.”

    –Barack Obama (Congressional Record, p. S2237 [March 2006])

    Martin Frost has much in common with a venerial disease. I am so ashamed he’s from my state. His folks must have been wierdos.

    Another fine Progressive example of measured, rational, & civil discourse in political debate.

    Looks like the Journolista Cabal is back up & running. The latest Group think is anyone against raising the Debt Ceiling is a terrorist.

    Frost was a Congressman when 241 Marines were killed in Beirut by actual terrorists, so that makes this sort of inflammatory narrative all the more despicable.

    Such little fools they all are using this crap..especially the Head of the Snake sitting in the Oval Office…or playing golf, or something.

    “Tea Party Members Have Much In Common With The Taliban”…

    Yeah!

    And Martin Frost has a lot in common with filthy, lousy, stupid, asshole, bastards, who hate the U. S. A., common sense, capitalism, and the American Dream, AKA, life; liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

    Martin Frost has a lot in common with other SOB’s who are trying their best to destroy this great country by taxing everybody to death, creating massive unemployment, and totally ruining our economy.

    Leftists have first smeared Teapartiers as racists, now the smear is terrorists, next it will be serial killers followed by child molesters.

    :-) Have Democrats considered what will happen when the American people become desensitized to the sensationalistic messaging?

    How can they exceed this level of fear in future elections?

    Funny, I don’t remember the last time a Tea Party member blew up a priceless ancient statue of Buddha.

    What’s most surprising about this revelation is: NOW the Left thinks the Taliban is a bad thing?

    Commie low-life Democrats are allowed to make baseless accusations, which are translated into “hard facts” by the mainstream asshole reporters.

    We are partially to blame for not raising hell with sponsors of these news broadcasts, and for not boycotting their products.

    And Odogma loving Democon’s have much in common with failed Socialist/Marxist/Dictator governments and nations throughout history.

    Well, it seems good to me that, perhaps, once and for all we’ll have a political war between the patriots versus the torries. I know how this will turn out because there’s a whole lot of of us than them.

    November 2012 is the new battle of Yorktown !!!

  22. Tom22ndState says:
    July 30, 2011 at 3:35 pm

    oops, there are a whole lot more patriots than torries.

    Doesn’t all this name calling just make you feel all warm and fuzzy and just want to run to the polls to vote for Demonrats? I didn’t think so. Keep it up, Dems. America is watching and remembering.

    Honestly, it’s time for another huge TEA Party rally in DC.

  27. Noma says:
    July 30, 2011 at 5:35 pm

    YES….Let’s flash mob the hill. I will not tolerate the disparaging lies that Dems level at conservatives and tea party patriots. Is there a way we could congregate enough people to block his birthday escape to Chicago?

    To bad his parents didn’t name this rube Jack, then he would be Jack Frost
    on the pumpkin, this kind of garbage is what you get when you drink to
    much of Boy Barry’s Hopey Changey and see things through the eyes of a
    liberal dipshit such as Frost……..

    It’s time to stop playing games with these jackals in the media and call them
    out as the pos’s they are………

    Go fornicate yourself Frosty, you deserve it………..

    Using up all their 2012 election rhetoric already.

  31. Calypso Jones says:
    July 30, 2011 at 11:33 pm

    Martin Frost was beaten by Republican Kenny Marchant in 2005. So, it’s not so hard to understand why Martin has a little bone to pick.

    ya know…the leftards really need to give this talking point up. So many have used it already it’s not having any effect. We see that it was just a memo sent out to all ogabe myrmidons and they’re just repeating what they’ve been told to say. The Dimrat party bores me to tears. OH…and didn’t Sen. Rubio mop the floor with Agent Orange Kerry tonight? Somebody call the waaaaaaaaaaambulance.
