Olbermann: If The Tea Party Wins, America Loses (VIDEO)
Perhaps using a reverse echo of MSNBC's new slogan ("Lean Forward"), Keith Olbermann launched into the tea party on Wednesday night during a special comment that included a bumper-sticker-ready catch phrase: "Vote Backward, Vote Tea Party."
The "Countdown" host railed against the movement, using an analogy to call their candidates, "a group of unqualified, unstable individuals who will do what they are told, in exchange for money and power, and march this nation as far backward as they can get, backward to Jim Crow, or backward to the breadlines of the '30s, or backward to hanging union organizers, or backward to the Trusts and the Robber Barons."
How strongly does Olbermann feel? He spent nearly 20 minutes on his harsh indictment of the tea party.

I gotta say.....seeing all the crazy bundled up in one segment is tough to watch. It certainly does provide lots of motivation to getting off your ass, and getting out there to vote. As the fictional President Bartlet from The West Wing said, "Decisions are made by those who show up." Truer words were never spoken, and let's hope it's more of those seeking sanity who show up rather than those stoking up the fear and nuttiness of the Tea Party candidates.
