The Telegram and the Tea Party

An editorial in the New York Times Company-owned Worcester Telegram and Gazette chides Senator Kerry for a fundraising email sent by the senator describing the Tea Party as extremist. Says the editorial: "a fair-minded observer can't help but conclude that once you clear away the few noisy and irrelevant voices that can be found in any movement, tea party activists are primarily about reducing the size and role of government, re-emphasizing the central role of the Constitution, and empowering ordinary citizens to have a greater voice in their own governance."
