Appearing on the Fox News Channel, U.S. Joseph I. Lieberman said Tuesday that the growing Tea Party movement is an unplanned uprising by the American public that has bubbled up in the 2010 election year.
"My perception of the Tea Party is that it's a very natural uprising,'' Lieberman said on the network's "Happening Now'' program from Washington, D.C. "Nobody planned it for calculating reasons. It expresses a lot of the public frustration with what's happening here in Washington."
"If you go to Tea Party rallies, most of the people you see there are not familiar faces at political events. And that's good. These people got so upset that they're getting involved."
