Jack Cafferty Carries Water for AstroTurf 'Tea Party'
http://videocafe.crooksandliars.com/heather/jack-cafferty-carries-water-astroturf-tea


It looks like Jack Cafferty decided to carry a little water for the AstroTurf "tea party" with a bit of fearmongering over our debt and deficit with this dishonest bit of editorializing on CNN's The Situation Room. First of all, repeat after me Jack -- there is no tea party. The so-called "tea party" is nothing more than the far right-wing of the Republican Party that's been with us for ages now, with big monied corporate interests along with your sorry excuse for a "news" channel along with Fox promoting them.

1. He's just an old bitter man who pisses off CNN's viewers.

3. Who dug up that old fossil?
Why do Tea Baggers believe him...he's clearly more than 6,000 years old, and therefore just a theory.

6. There's nothing wrong with being old.
Spewing lies and propaganda is the problem.

8. Funny what a difference a couple of years makes on DU!! Back then Cafferty
was quoted nearly every day with positive comments being thrown towards him by most all DUers.

11. Yeah, bunch of jackals here.
Jack's still all right by me -- even if I don't agree with him on this issue or a few others.
