Tea Party Calls Chris Matthews Documentary A 'Left-Wing Hit Piece,' Urges Hardball Sponsors To Boycott

A coalition of Tea Party groups is taking aim at Chris Matthews and MSNBC in the aftermath of the network airing a new documentary, "The Rise of the New Right," this week, which the conservative activists charge is a "left-wing propaganda hit piece."

The MSNBC special premiered on the cable news channel Wednesday night, but even before its debut, host Chris Matthews signaled the program's provocative content by saying, "I think that the left will say this scares the heck out of me."

According to the National Tea Party Federation, "The Rise of the New Right" was a reflection of "journalism at its worse" and was produced with the intention to "demonize and misrepresent."

FreedomWorks Grassroots Director Brendan Steinhauser said, "The Tea Party movement I know looks nothing like the one portrayed on MSNBC. It is made up of good, hardworking, honest, smart people who love their country. It is a movement that reflects the best in America."

In a statement released Thursday, the National Tea Party Federation called on Hardball with Chris Matthews advertisers to pull their commercials from the program:

1. "reflects the best in America." Show me some of that! It's hidden.

[peace frog]

2. Tweety's trying to strengthen what little cred he has

with the left. Nothing like teabagger denunciation to raise his profile.

3. Frankly

I didn't see anything I hadn't seen before.

No new revelations.

4. So the pittling amount of BOYCOTTER'S wouldn 't make a damn

bit of difference. We can call and write his sponsors that they better leave him alone. THERE ARE MORE OF US THEN THEM.

6. So if anything comes of this threat, because of their numbers, compared to

ours, we will certainly know who is running the show. Pun intended.

5. '..journalism at its worse...'

Goddam, they're just the gift that keeps on giving.

Seriously. It never ever stops. Until ARMAGGdON, of course.
