In
the aftermath of the debt ceiling deal struck between congressional
Republicans, congressional Democrats and the White House, concessions
made by Democrats have caused some on the left to lash out at the Tea
Party. But where is this show of anger — with epithets like “hostage
takers,” “terrorists” and “thugs” flying around — coming from?
Despite Krauthammer’s low regard for the Tea
Party’s left-wing detractors, O’Reilly insisted talking points were
still circulating, which suggested a concerted effort. Krauthammer
dismissed that notion.
“Look, what it means to me is you’ve got people
with no intelligence, no originality, no imagination,” he said. “They
are sputtering. They have lost. No arguments. What do they do? They
want ad hominems. They want epithets. So, somebody uses it on the air —
‘Ah ha, that’s a good one. I’ll use it.’ I don’t credit them [with] the
intelligence or the sort of, what it takes to put together a
conspiracy.”
