Sometimes you read a column by a liberal that seems it was written by a conservative to caricature his ideological adversaries. And when you realize it’s probably legitimate, you wonder at the editors who approve this piece for publication. Are they so contained within their liberal bubble that they’re blind to how narrow their ideological confrère might comes across to someone with a broader perspective?
Such were my thoughts when I chanced upon this Op-Ed in a paper I used to receive every morning on my doorstep. The author writes about a political argument that changed her feelings for neighbors she describes as “the best neighbors in the world. Always ready with a tool, an ingredient or a jump-start for the car. Whatever you need, if they have it, they will give it. They are a lovely family: husband, wife and four smart, funny, polite children. I was sure they were Democrats.”"
Nice title...why focus in liberal intolerance when the conservatives in this little story were equally intolerant? And who walks into their neighbors house and proclaims they are tea party members right off? That is like throwing down a gauntlet, inviting an argument.
Looks to me like the first stone was cast by the intolerant teabaggers... The writer is right--I hope they never have to ask those folks for anything ever again.
I love how you still call Tea Party members "tea-baggers." Seems real mature and intelligent like....
Course (and I've said it before) you'll come back and say "they called me stupid, so I said it back, nenenenenEH!" I'm so glad I have better things to do in life versus live on here. Only one I ever see posting anything worth while is CinnamonGirl.
As the husband sat down in our living room with his drink, he announced, "The tea party is not racist." We just looked at him. "The tea party is not racist," he continued, "because I am a member of the tea party."
I do not believe this part of the article. The neighbor husband just walk in, sits down, and, out o the blue, announces "The tea party is not racist."
No, I believe that a previous statement was made by the author that the tea party was a bunch of racists. She started it.
