CNN Host: Shiite Militia Like Iraq's 'Tea Party'

The radical wing of Iraq's Shiite party and army is like America's
tea party, CNN host Fareed Zakaria said on his show
telecast on Sunday.
In a "What in the World"
segment of "Fareed Zakaria
GPS," the host said that the reason why Shiite Prime Minister Nuri
al-Maliki has not taken international advice to form a broad-based inclusive
government with the Sunnis is because as a politician he is beholden to a
hard-line wing of his own party.
"Why in the world is Maliki
flatly refusing to do this? Partly it's because he's a hard-line Shiite
politician himself whose party draws its support from the Shiites who are not
particularly well disposed to the notion of being nice to the Sunnis, their
former overlords," Zakaria said.
"But it's probably at least
as much because Maliki needs to worry about radical Shiites as much as radical
Sunnis. You see, he has his own tea party, and this one has an army of its
own."
The comments have prompted
criticism on Twitter by those who say there should not be even a remote
comparison.
"Fareed Zakaria does his
Patton impersonation. Tea party members are not like radical Shiites who kill
and maim," one Twitter post read.
It's not the first time Zakaria
has compared the tea party to violent extremists. In October he said the tea
party was akin to "radicals, anarchists, Black Panthers, or other
revolutionary movements," Breitbart reported.
