Amy Kremer of Tea Party Express just said they teamed up with CNN for first Tea Party Debate on CNN

[Poll_Blind]

No fucking shit. I was just watching this idiot on C-Span, waiting for some real news to come in. So, I haven't had cable in years and I don't watch CNN unless there's something really fucking huge going on, like a natural disaster. Know ye that CNN is going to be pumping the Tea Party up and helping these motherfuckers get more press.

1. in fairness CNN ran the HRC debate in 2007

and I don't think they pump up the HRC. The tea party is presumedly hosting a debate of GOP candidates, as is their right, and CNN is apparently going to cover it, no biggie. They did the same for Democratic interest groups in 08.

[monmouth]

2. Ted Turner must be deep in the grief to see how his station has

spun into the drain. Remember when that was "the" station to watch? I find the internet and DU faster with the news than the tv anyway...

3. cnn must have outbid faux for the rights.

[Hello World]

4. Can we get the "We the People"s party on, too?

we need to form our own group and DEMAND equal time.

we don't even need that many people to join to be successful, considering what the tea party draw to their events.

5. ratings.

6. CNN is a corporation

The Teabaggers are their friends.

7. she was painfully indirect & stating nothing but fluff of course, and saying people's kids won't

care many years from now if it was the Dems or the Repubs who caused this situation (oh, of course ignore the fact of who caused this insanity) and frankly, Don Lemon of CNN was so apologetic and sweet to her that I wanted to gag. He didn't present the truth, in his questioning to her, as if he has no fricking clue about what is really going on, and frankly, after watching him the next 15 min. after Amy was gone, I realize he's really a talking head and nothing as skilled as Anderson Cooper is about the issues. So, no surprise he just rolled over and apologized for daring to cut her off! She was a typical arrogant tea-thug who is absolute in her belief that they are right and not giving a SHIT about cutting social programs, as long as their cuts cuts cuts mantra rules the day.

insane...
