Combative George Stephanopoulos Pushes Idea That the Tea Party May Be 'Losing Traction'

ABC trumpeted a new poll on Tuesday as proof that conservatives and Republicans could be losing ground in the midterm election. Good Morning America co-host George Stephanopoulos excitedly opened the show by speculating, "This morning, is the Tea Party losing traction? Our new poll says the answer may be yes as the movement's most famous candidate releases this ad."

The morning show then replayed candidate Christine O'Donnell's new campaign spot. A graphic deemed the ad, in which O'Donnell asserts, "I'm not a witch," to be "stunning." The Tea Party's most famous candidate? Stephanopoulos' phrasing was somewhat odd.

Yes, Sarah Palin is not currently running for anything, but she's clearly the Tea Party's most famous member and is more well known than O'Donnell.

The GMA anchor also conducted a combative interview with conservative activist Ginni Thomas (wife of Clarence Thomas). Citing ABC's new numbers, he argued, "The Tea Party, losing a little bit of steam."

Stephanopoulos played up a supposed divide between Tea Partiers and the GOP, highlighting a worry that "Tea Party candidates are actually going to cost Republican seats they otherwise would have won."

Of a possible Republican victory, he spun, "This could end up being a recipe for more gridlock, depending on who wins in November."

Reporter Jake Tapper threw cold water on Stephanopoulos. In a previous segment, he pointed out, "Still, today's numbers are bad for Democrats, with Republicans holding a bigger lead than they had at this point in 1994, when they last seized control of Congress." A point that the host allowed: "There is an awful lot of evidence in our poll, also, that the tidal wave still could be out there."

A transcript of the October 5 segment follows:

KICKTHEMALLOUT!!!!!!

I am trying to be nice but can I please say "go fly a kite" Georgie

I dont beleive a WORD George Snuffalufugus says. He can go pound sand because he is nothing but Obama's lapdog. They are just saying this because Dems are running scared and are about to get massacred.

The Tea Party is not about the Republican or Democratic Party; it is about American Citizens.

Is this an attempt by the left to nudge the public into believing that the Tea-Party has co-opted with Republicans? Maybe, and if it is successful it could be the end of the Tea Party's influence.

I am a life long Democrat, and I despise what the majority of those in my party are doing. However, if I change my affiliation to the Republican Party I enable the battle of the R's and D's to continue, which only perpetuates the partisanship that afflicts this country.

Let’s watch out for that, shall we?

George Stephanopoulos is a twit.
