Will Gregory Take the Lead?
Don't get your hopes up, but NBC's David Gregory told the world on "Morning Joe" yesterday morning that the Tea Party movement nation-wide aren't really "racist, angry white men with guns" that "hate" the president but are merely concerned citizens that are worried about their health coverages and fed up mass government overspending.
Even Chris Tingle said that Howard Dean was crazy for suggesting that the Massachusetts voters actually voted in Scott Brown because they wanted an even more liberal health care bill:
He even says he's worried about big government?
"Basically...this health care bill is too big, it`s too much government. We don`t know what`s in there. And by the way, it`s being sold to the people state-by-state in a corrupt fashion."
"I look at the numbers and I`m worried. I`m worried about this government committing itself to so many entitlement programs and committing itself to such a level of taxation that support those entitlement programs."
This is Chris Matthews saying this, folks. But as for conservatives being hypocrites. Perhaps sometimes, but as for Matthews himself? I think a commenter said it best...
"He['s] parroting what conservatives have said all along............the very ideas and values he has been ridiculing and thumbing his nose at for years."
However, another reader had another good point, "He did the same thing in September 2001 when it was politically expedient to do so. He then reverted back to his leftist ways. He'll snap out of it in a couple of days."
As the story suggests, this is a long way from when Gregory likened the Tea Party protesters to domestic terrorist, Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh when speaking to Sen. Tom Coburn (R-OK)
"All right. But let's talk about the tone of the debate. There have been death threats against members of Congress, there are Nazi references to members of Congress and to the president. Here are some of the images. The president being called a Nazi, his reform effort being called Nazi-like, referring to Nazi Germany, members of Congress being called the same. And then there was this image this week outside of Portsmouth, New Hampshire, a town hall event that the president had, this man with a gun strapped to his leg held that sign, "It is time to water the tree of liberty." It was a reference to that famous Thomas Jefferson quote, "The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants." That has become a motto for violence against the government. Timothy McVeigh, the Oklahoma City bomber, had that very quote on his shirt the day of the bombing of the Murrah building when 168 people were killed."
Quite the turn around, huh? But don't expect the rest of the liberal media to jump on board as enthusiastically just yet...if ever.
