WTF!!! Senator John Kerry: Media should ignore Tea Party because I disagree with it

congoboy
Following in the footsteps of New York Times columnist Paul Krugman, Senator John Kerry (D-MA) called on the media to censor Tea Party ideas that he and others like him consider "absurd" or "not factual."

"The media has got to begin to not give equal time or equal balance to an absolutely absurd notion just because somebody asserts it or simply because somebody says something which everybody knows is not factual, it doesn't deserve the same credit as a legitimate idea about what you do," Kerry said while appearing on MSNBC's Morning Joe Friday.

As Noel Sheppard writes at Newsbusters, this is exactly what Krugman wrote last week, but Kerry wasn't finished.


We have to, have to find a way to get some of these people in Congress, who are locked in to just one view about where we can go, and, and that’s really what’s hampered us. You know, when I have a top Senator in the Republican leadership tell me that he’s been calling members of his delegation and he can’t persuade them to do something reasonable here, that all they’re focused on are cutting, cutting, cutting, we got a problem.

What Kerry and so many of his fellow liberals fail to understand is that the nation's economy is on a very fast train to a very hot place, and the Tea Party Republicans were elected to bring fiscal sanity back to Washington.

The Senate has not passed a budget in over 820 days, and the only budget submitted by President Obama was so radical and extreme it got no votes in the Senate whatsoever.
