New York Times columnist David Brooks assailed the Tea Party and the extreme nature of today's Republican Party Tuesday on ComedyCentral's The Colbert Report.

"The Tea Party is where the money is at, baby," said Stephen Colbert. "Why aren't you saying crazy stuff your in columns and if you pardon the expression, put some asses in the seats?"

"Well, the Tea Parties they're like the hippies," Brooks responded. "The hippies wanted to stick it to the man and they were anti-establishment. So the Tea Parties are like the Wal-Mart hippies."

1. Great summation of the Hippies, David. You moron.

[Morning Dew]

2. Stick it to the man?

Teabaggers want to stick it to one Black man.

[OHdem10]

3. David, do not try to put lipstick on that pig. Please do not insult

Hippies. There is no moral equivalency.

[Kalyke]

4. I don't think the words "Wal-Mart" and "hippies" belong in the

same sentence (with the exception of the one I just wrote).

5. I'm 50, and I've stayed away from the word hippie for a long time.

But one thing I admired about hippies, was their love of peace, so yeah, this is a bad comparison.

6. David Brooks is an insult to "journalism" period. nt
