How Crazy Are Democrats? This Crazy

 How Crazy Are Democrats? This Crazy

by John Hinderaker in Democrats, Tea Party movement 

Scott Rasmussen, in a survey of 1,000 likely voters, reports findings that shed considerable light on the mentality of Barack Obama supporters. Rasmussen asked this question:

Which is a bigger terrorist threat to the United States today – radical Muslims, the Tea Party, local militia groups, the Occupy Wall Street movement, or other religious or political extremists?

Now, there is only one sane answer to that question. No Tea Party group has ever been implicated in a terrorist attack or even, as far as I can recall, an isolated act of violence. Attenders of Tea Party events are notorious for cleaning up after themselves like Boy Scouts. But this survey suggests that partisan Democrats are living in a parallel universe:

[A]mong those who approve of the president’s job performance, just 29% see radical Muslims as the bigger threat. Twenty-six percent (26%) say it’s the Tea Party that concerns them most. Among those who Strongly Approve of the president, more fear the Tea Party than radical Muslims.

No wonder IRS employees, nearly all if whom are likely Obama supporters, thought it was only natural to try to block any organization with Tea Party in its name! And no wonder that Democratic fundraising appeals usually contain references to “Tea Party Republicans.” They are talking in code: the equivalent, coming from the Republican side, would be “al Qaeda Democrats.” Only Republicans aren’t crazy.
PAUL ADDS:
Some on the left understand that al Qaeda, on occasion, can cause physical harm. But the Tea Party represents a threat to the religion of the left — big government liberalism. For many Obama supporters, that threat is more terrifying.
