Jimmy Breslin (Yes, He's Still Around) to Tea Partiers: You're All as Crazy as Sirhan Sirhan
b5 Sep 2010
For those that thought faded journo Jimmy Breslin had passed on to
his great reward, fear not for ol’ Jimmy is back and this time he wants
you all to know that you Tea Partiers are wild-eyed racists filled with
madness. Heck you are all as crazy as Bobby Kennedy’s killer
Sirhan-Sirhan, you Tea Partiers are dangerous, and prone to riot and
your inflammatory air is disturbing Jimmy’s retirement. Shame on you.
In a rambling, maudlin piece for Harper’s magazine, Breslin, a former Newsday columnist, took after the Tea Party movement in a thinly veiled attack that compares the “national air” today to those days of race riots and the assassinations of Martin Luther King, Jr., and Bobby Kennedy. Breslin feels that the Tea Party movement is a dangerous element obviously about to turn the country into yet another seething cauldron of violence.
Without actually naming the Tea Party Breslin invokes some of the most turbulent times that America has seen in his lifetime and intimates that those times are returning due to the “mob” he sees in the streets today.
He begins his piece shrilly claiming that the national air today is like “claws of madness” that “swipe through the sky,” the same madness that resulted in Bobby Kennedy’s 1968 assassination. He then recites a quote from Oliver Wendell Holmes who warned that laws could not prevent inciting lies from being spread.
“Claws
of madness,” and false statements spread? Why what ever could Jimmy be
talking about? Perhaps reading on will reveal his hidden message?
