Michael Kinsley wrote an article titled “My Country ‘Tis Of Me” disparaging the patriotism of Tea Party people. I will not be linking to the story for two reasons. The first one is I want to tick off Cass Sunstein. The second is that I’m pretty sure I lost two I.Q. points just reading Kinsley’s nonsense, and I wouldn’t want anyone else to suffer as I did.

Kinsley’s singular talent is being wrong—about everything. I do mean everything. Since his article was a conglomeration of wrong, liberal thought I am taking a few minutes to point out the complete fallacy of what passes for logic. Kinsley wrote:

Like Crispus Attucks Before Them...

From Project 21

On the January 5 edition of his MSNBC program “Hardball,” Chris Matthews claimed that everyone participating in tea party rallies such as the one held in Washington, D.C. on September 12, 2009 were white.

In a discussion with Mark McKinnon of the Daily Beast and Susan Page of USA Today, Matthews said: “And they’re monochromatic, right?…  Meaning they’re all white.  All of them — every single one of them — is white.”

Members of the Project 21 black leadership network disagree.  They were there.

Bob Parks, a Project 21 member from Virginia, said: “Here’s a news flash for Chris Matthews.  I was there.  So was my son.  Last time I checked, both of us are black — and we weren’t the only black people there.  I know other black people who attended the September 12 rally in Washington, including some of the ones who spoke at the podium!  I guess the MSNBC camera people missed them.”
