I'm not a liberal, but if I was, I can't imagine what I would have against the Tea Party movement - so hopefully a liberal/democrat could help me out with this.
Some of these reasons are my own, some are not. But I think these are the ones why liberals don't like 'em:
* The TPers portray Obama et. al. as Marxists, Socialists, Nazis, Dictators, Terrorists, etc. * The TPers believe and promote myths like "Obama will take your guns away", "We are becoming a socialist state", etc. * The TPers don't fact check. * The TPers rely heavily on Fox News, and they don't fact check. * The TPers blame "progressives" for everything. * The TPers are believed to be racists. * The TPers threaten sedition and flaunt firearms. * The TPers claim to be patriots, while bitching and moaning about the American government. Yet, two years ago when the liberals were bitching and moaning about the American government. * The TPers adore Sarah Palin, whom they regard as a twit. * The TPers don't help America's image overseas. * The TPers insist that this is a Christian nation.
