Wingnuts Think It’s All About Them, Breitbart Edition

On the idiotic Breitbart.com, writer Christian Toto links to news that History Channel is working on a new miniseries about the founding fathers. His spin on it is that the network is targeting “the tea party” with this programming, and that it “comes at an interesting time in our political culture, given the Constitutional questions being raised on a weekly basis by the current Obama administration.”

Ha-ha, suck it libtards, right? Wrong.

First off, History has been doing these miniseries for a while now, and they’ve been quite successful. They just did The World Wars, featuring the poster boy for big government, FDR. And the introduction on the first night of the series? None other than the dreaded Barack Obama, the guy History is supposedly counter-programming. Oh, and it did well. 3.4 million tuned in.

I learned so much but was disturbed by McCain, Rumsfeld and Cheney being on it. Three war criminals.

I look forward to a balanced movie about the American revolution The tea party needs stop being so ignorant Nd learn real history not the Barton bullshit type.

Dollar to a donut says they fail to mention the purpose of the Boston Tea Party and that it was a complete failure in its purpose.
