Tea Party 'Terrorists'? Palin Fires Back

(BEGIN video clip)

PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA: Congress approved a compromise to reduce the deficit and avoid a default that would have devastated our economy. It was a long and controversial debate, and I want to thank the American people to keep the pressure on their elected officials to put politics aside and work together for the good of the country.

HANNITY:  Now, what our president failed to mention is that members of his own party are spewing the hateful rhetoric that is contributing to Washington's quote, "dysfunction." For example, just yesterday on a day when Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords returned to the Capitol building for the first time since the shooting that nearly took her life.

Sharpton’s newfound hunger for being taken seriously has had the odd effect of turning the wildly gifted speaker into a soggy milquetoast. Last week on MSNBC, Sharpton dutifully bashed Republicans, but looked lost, suffering from painful pauses as he struggled with the dang TelePrompTer. His most wicked line was a Freudian slip. Thursday, Sharpton disputed the claim that drug-testing welfare recipients “would SLAVE Florida.” Ouch! “Would SAVE Florida — money,” he persisted. The Al I know would have stuck with “slave.”

“I think people would have to look at the format and understand that after 5 p.m., the format doesn’t call for a journalist,” Sharpton said, noting that hosts [Rachel] Maddow, [Ed] Schultz and Lawrence O’Donnell have not worked primarily as journalists. Indeed, Sharpton sees his hire as breaking another color line; allowing a radio host of color to make the

Sharpton, an Obama loyalist who has spent much airtime defending the president, claims PoliticsNation will not be an Obama-criticism-free space. “Not at all,” he says. “Last night I talked about how I disagree with him on Libya.
