More BS from the 'liberal media' - "Disgruntled Democrats join the Tea Party" [View All]

[iceman66]

More right wing propaganda thinly described as journalism from our friends at CNN.

The headline of this article has no basis in reality, and is clearly intended to foster the false impression that the President's supporters are deserting him in significant numbers.

Even the article itself alludes to the fact that the 'tea party' is overwhelmingly composed of Republicans and right-leaning Independents who never supported Obama to begin with. That should be the real headline.

Moreover, it is highly doubtful that the 'party switchers' profiled in the article are what they purport to be, given that they all parrot right-wing talking points like 'spreading the wealth'. If these people even exist, they damn sure never voted for Obama!

There is no real story here. The whole thing is just an excuse to push those talking points yet again. Expect to see a lot of this between now and November.
