BTW - what in the world are you talking about here? Waters never referenced the Tea Party in that clip at all. Here's the word for word transcript - where did Waters address the Tea Party with "hate" as you said she did? Where did she address the Tea Party at all? Are you talking about something different?

Maxine Waters on Meet The Press (reference the President's speech):

"I absolutely agree that the President must be bold. I agree that he must have a jobs program, must create jobs. I’m talking about a program of a trillion dollars or more. We’ve got to put Americans to work. That’s the only way to revitalize this economy. When people work and they earn money, they spend that money, and that is what gets the economy up and going. I don't think he can shrink from the threat of the right, I don't think he can have a program that simply gives more tax breaks to the very people that got us into trouble in the first place. And so I'm hopeful, I'm very hopeful, that the President is going to put a big program out there, and that he is going to fight very hard for it"

Sounds like she is being "hateful", in my opinion.
