"Unemployed workers are lazy welfare queens," said Sharron Angle, running for Senate in Nevada under the Tea Party banner, in one of her many speeches laced with vitriol and hate for families living in poverty in the U.S.

From New York to California, from Sharron Angle to Meg Whitman, the running theme of hundreds of political campaigns supported by the so-called Tea Party and its Republican counterparts is hate…

She and others have built their campaigns on a perceived baseline of racist and classist hate that exists in the U.S. for poor folks and immigrants and people of color. Even if this perceived hate isn't actually there, it is fueled by a constant stream of disinformation and lies that rolls, unchecked, through corporate-owned media and out of the mouths of corporate politicians.
