6 Lots of reports of the left planning on infiltrating and slimeing (which they might already have done) the tea parties. Need to think of ways to point them out as left. They have to be "outed" at the time so that the media can't pin their behavior on the right.

Are you quoting the Catatonia hit from 2004?  Cute song (not much airplay in the US). 

 

10 dagny:

I'm thinking that just the announcement that they've been planning it, with the proof of the website should be enough.

Actually, this website allows the right to pin *any and all* bad behavior on the lefties.  No consequences to the right.  Anything bad happens and "it was those 'crash the teaparty douchebags that did it'.

11 Take lots of pictures, folks. Send 'em to Breitbart, Ace, Hannity, Beck.
Take video if you can. YouTube it or some alternative ASAP.
Tea parties rule. Liberals drool.

12

how many times can they seriously call people racists? No one believes them anymore -- other than the drones, whose numbers are dwindling.

3 years ago I would have fallen for the racist/homophobe story line by the organs of the undemocratic party -- the MSM.  Who the hell even believes the MSM anymore? They are the undemocratic party.

Thank God for the internet, people, centerist dems, conservative independents (which is most indepedents) can look up items on the Internet just to see how the MSM has lied, and deceived them.

I know that's what happened to me, the bias was so blatant, its pure propoganda now by the MSM. And I am one of those Independents/former dems in the 40% who make up part of the Tea Party movement.

13 that's a lot of people. FOR GODS SAKE DON'T HAVE A TEA PARTY IN GUAM, IT WILL KILL US ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

14
How to fight the deceptive left?
Take photos of the faux lefty signs.  Take photos of the assholes who are carrying the sings.

FOR GODS SAKE DON'T HAVE A TEA PARTY IN GUAM, IT WILL KILL US ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Or if you do, SPREAD OUT!

12 Congratulations on waking up. It's been like that for a long time. This is not a recent phenomana but until fairly recently there was no where else to go--you had to realize it on your own.

 

The Democrats are probably wondering why their hit-pieces in the legacy media are falling on deaf ears.

Maybe these guys are smart enough to have realized that Tea stand for

Taxed Enough Already

If you aren't of the protected classes then you are TEA by definition.

17

Thirty-five percent (35%) of Mainstream voters view themselves as Tea Party members, while 84% of the Political Class say they have no ties to the movement.

This is the disconnect that keeps biting the LSM on the ass. They simply don't know what to make of it.  The DC/NYC cocktail party circuit has always viewed regular Americans as uncultured cretins who need to be guided by our betters (i.e. them).  The rejection of their "guidance" mortifies and mystifies them.  Instead of trying to understand the drivers behind the movement, they strike out at it, failing at every turn. 

Furthermore, I'm willing to bet that the 12% of the "Political Class" that actually have ties to the movement look upon those ties with either embarrassment or self righteous pity.

21 I'm confused. How can the racist teabaggers here in Houston be inviting Kevin Jackson to our Tax Day Tea Party on April 15? He's like, black.

22 This just in: Gas station bathrooms filled to the brim with Coffee Party members.

23 I Am the Mob —Gabriel Malor
Maye you is, Gabe, but remember that first and foremost, you is a doofus.

24 Got an invite from a friend to a tea party event on the 15th...  I'll probably be going. 

25

a TN atty who is running for congress is filing a lawsuit against DeathCare on behalf of indiv.

He is up to 1200 plantiffs now in a week.  If you would like to sign up as part of this lawsuit, the information is at the link. Any american citizen can sign up, but just TN residents.http://tinyurl.com/yeqd7yh

Tennessee Attorney Van Irion and Candidate for the Tennessee Third Congressional District Seat launched a new website Monday for his Class Action Lawsuit against Obamacare. Irion said today that he now has 1200 people in all 50 states signed up to be plaintiffs in the class action lawsuit which was filed four days ago. “We are overwhelmed by the number of people that have joined in this case to have their voices heard” Irion said.

To sign up for the lawsuit you can now visit www.obamacareclassaction.com. All U.S. residents, and businesses are welcome to join"

26 sorry meant to say... all US citizens can sign up, not just TN residents

27 That's a greater percentage than "people who believe aliens walk among us" but a smaller percentage than "truthers in the Democrat party." 

When it gets to "percentage of people who care about who's fucking who in Hollywood" levels, we'll have something.

28 how many times can they seriously call people racists? No one believes them anymore -- other than the drones, whose numbers are dwindling.

Any time I see the "race card" played now I automatically figure that whoever played it did something wrong and they are trying to hide it.

Either that or they are somebody like Jessie & Al trying to extort money from some weak-kneed corporation.

In short, I haven't seen ANY race card played lately that is true; except when racists blacks get away with all kinds of outrageous acts.

Libtards calling in to say that the tea party is saying that the left is infiltrating so that they can blame crazy behavior on the left----because we all know the left is sooooo sane. They are always so polite. Barf.

This is going to be funny. Libtards show up to make the right look bad. Right points out that left was the bad actor. Left says the right has lied about the left infiltrating because.........................the right wants to secretly say the n-word and bomb the federal building in Ok?

I sometimes get the feeling that if you threw a bucket of water on one of these lefty activists they would melt like the wicked witch. Complete idiocy.

31 Ich bin ein Berliner Racist Teabagger

32

I am going to a Tea Party in event in my area, and oh yes, some friends are going with me, they are democrats and independents, and *gasp*, they are black and hispanic, guess they don't know they are now racists for wanting to attend and participate in a Tea Party event.

I am going to recommend signs like: "Hey LameStream Media, How much is the Socialist Democrat Party paying you to work for them?"

"Hey Tea Party crashers, how much is the Socialist Democrat Party and Lamestream Media paying you to crash America's Tea Party?"

"Hey Tea Party crashers, how is the White House and Reid and Pelosi paying you to crash America's Tea Party?"

33
The SEIU spent over $65 million to help elect President Obama in 2008.

Is that ok by McCain /Feingold standards?  How is that legal?
Hard to fathom why folks are fed-up with the corruption.

34 The Democrats are probably wondering why their hit-pieces in the legacy media are falling on deaf ears.

Actually, Gabriel, their hit pieces are falling on the hearing ears and the seeing eyes of the masses....when you hear the plop and you see the manure on the ground, you know what the horse just did.

35 15 and 16, guys, don't worry about guam. I'm part of a movement to force the pentagon to build a giant keel under the island to stabilize it in the event of a build in population. Oh, and did I mention that ghe president has a really hard job? If not, please lighten ip on him he is doing his best in a really hard job.

36 Approaching 50 years of age and this Thursday will be the first political protest I've ever attended - and I live in CA where there's a protest every other day.

Well then, if the left are so certain they are squeaky clean,  they certainly won't mind if we take their photograph.

38

Seriously?

They've been playing it everyday since I can remember. That's about 14,600 days. Probably longer. They have successfully parlayed it into huge amounts of power and frightened people into complacency.

There isn't an end in sight.

39

That's right Gabe. The Tea Party Patriots are destined to become a political juggernaut. Destined to crush socialism in this decade. We grow continuously.

Soros better move to Antarctica.

40 There was an article in the Houston Chronicle yesterday about the Coffee Party.  Front page stuff, even though only eight people showed up.  Carried on inside the paper to the 'jump page', too.  All the usual blather - bring civility back, all comers welcome, etc.  I had a bigger, more diverse group for my Easter dinner, but that didn't make the front page.

41 I will be attending a tea party or my name ain't Racist Joe!

42
What's the difference between a Storm Front idiot and a deceptive left-winger holding a racist sign at a tea party?

No difference.

44 Forty Fourth!

45 Damn!

46

I think that the TEA parties will grow as long as they continue to stress the TEA part of the equation.

Everybody who pays taxes is over TAXED. It's pissing people off.

We have to get across that DEM=TAX to the squishy independents.

How they don't know that is a mystery but during good times they must forget and get interested in the bleeding heart crap that gets the US in trouble.

47

while 84% of the Political Class say they have no ties to the movement.

 

This always bugs me.  There are no classes here in America, none.  Except the ones the media invented to you know, attempt to divide people into.

48 I know that they say to film and photograph the infiltrators but isn't that what they are going there for? They want to be pictured. They are poseing. Unless you can identify them then how does a pic help? I may be missing something....

49

dagny -- I truely do believe people are waking up and saying enough already. I was a lifelong registered dem until 2008. The only time I voted for a repub was for Reagan, both times.

I was called a racist to my face b/c I refused to vote for that marxist in the WH, not by an AA but a white man, who no doubt has some white guilt issues. Well, the interesting part was one of my collegues, an AA, essentially called out this idiot, and said "Well, I'm not voting for Obama either, you gonna call me a racist too?".

People are waking up. The internet and the blatant bias by the LSM has made this possible.

Its kinda like you are on a plane, and when your compass says you are going west and you are flying INTO the rising sun, you either believe the instruments or your eyes.

50

Twenty-four percent (24%) of U.S. voters now say they consider themselves a part of the Tea Party movement, according to a new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey. ThatÂ’s an eight-point increase from 16% a month ago.

The "Coffee Party" wishes they could boast similar numbers.

And what is it with Obama and bowing/finger gestures at allies?

 

 

51

The AP is still at it:

"The dispute pits the lawmakers — one of them, Lewis, is a leader and survivor of 1960s civil rights battles — against conservatives determined to counter claims of racism within the predominantly white and middle-aged tea party movement."

 

 

52 There are no classes here in America, none.

I beg to differ.  Lately the difference between the serfs and overlords has been rather stark.

53 And now I've signed up for the Obamacare class action! 

And yet I keep being ignored by the WH.  What does a racist homophobe have to DO to get onto the enemies list???

54

Will be attending a Tea Party gathering on April 16.  Last year it was held in the courtyard of the Public Administration complex and was so jammed that the county employees couldn't get out of their offices.  This year the organizers have had to move it to the local baseball stadium, due expected crowds.  (P.S. Did anyone else see the tee shirt:  "I am a Tea Party member; Anderson Cooper is a teabagger" ?)

55 WTF IS UP WITH RASMUSSEN?

As Obama's polling numbers implode on CBS, CNN and GALLUP, he is kicking some serious ass on Rasmussen, a complete 180 from previous polling.

Today, Ras has Obama at 50 disapprove, 49 approve, the BEST he has done in a long time.  So WTF is going on and why is Rasmussen showing more support among registered voters than the MSM media pollsters are showing amongst adult voters?

That is exactly the opposite of the the historical trend.

56

dagny -- any racist pictures are now Tea Party crashers. That is what the Tea Party movement will say.  They have website proof where people are being encouraged to crash an event, and if/when they do, all the Tea Party activists have to do is point out that it was the inflitrators. They ,the crashers , have now been outted, with proof.

 That is how it is going to backfire on these idiots.

57 Johnc, I'm not trying to bash you, seriously but could you tell me why you thought the dems were the good party before? Was it a dislike of the republicans or a feeling of unity with the dems? I'm always curious why people go there. I've never been able to see it. When I was 13 I hid my parents car keys on election night because they were being squishy on Carter--they thought he might be ok.  My husband voted for Mondale--he's all fixed now. Whenever we fight though, I bring that up. Heh. That was family stuff though--that ny immigrant solidarity.

58 You ain't seen nothin' yet. This thing is going to be huge. H-U-G-E.

59

I was called a racist to my face b/c I refused to vote for that marxist in the WH, not by an AA but a white man, who no doubt has some white guilt issues.

Those caucasians who voted for 0bama in order to expiate their racism guilt woke up only to discover that the charges of racism continue unabated, and that their "racism" will NEVER be absolved. I think this is a big part of the backlash against fantasy racism. All those white folk are like - well I did what I had to do last November to prove I'm on your side - and it didn't matter?

So he survived the democrats like Al Gore Sr and Sheetz Byrd? Does he still hold animus toward the dems?

What a load of crap.

63 What created the TEA Party? One word. Trillion.

FOR GODS SAKE DON'T HAVE A TEA PARTY IN GUAM, IT WILL KILL US ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Maybe y'all could dump all the iced tea on the island into the ocean or something.

Hmmm, if it contains corn syrup, that might not be a bad idea.

65

The left has a problem with this one.  Applying Alinskyite tactics won't work.  They can infiltrate and make a ruckus and the media will cover it and say, "See?  We told you!  They're raaaaacists!"

Those who will buy into it already have their minds made up.  Fencesitters won't be swayed because in all liklihood they know someone who is either a supporter or an activist, and they know them not to be racists.  

Underestimating the level of political awareness of Tea Partiers and the fact that the movement is cognizant of the media smear campaign will work to the disadvantage of the left.

Alinsky warned about going after ambiguious organizations, choosing instead to pick individual targets.  A true grassroots movement is virtually immune to his tactics.   

66

dagny -- I always considered myself a JFK democrat, I was one, b/c I do believe people need a hand up, but not a hand out. I don't have an issue with programs that wean people off welfare, etc to help them stand on their own.  But what is now prevalent in the undem. party is they want people dependent on them. I am a social moderate, against gay marriage, but I am pro-choice, but want planned parenthood out of biz.  That is why I was a democrat.

See, there was a time, when both the repubs, dems party believed in lower taxes, pro-America, pro-biz, pro-small biz, pro-military, pro-US consitution the foundation was the same, dems were more liberal on social issues, then after the 60s and forward that all changed. The dems of today no longer believe that, they are now the socialist democrat party who don't believe in America, don't believe in the founding principles, don't believe in indiv rights, don't believe in the Constition, have a real loathing of America.

 They are the radical left. This is why I am no longer or ever will be a member of that disgusting party. I have voted for a D for a long time, I don't see  myself ever voting for one ever again under any condition.

67 well, work calls. have a good day everyone.

68 Okay I get it. I don't post that often so I'm suspect. Anywho, I'll be at the Boston Tea Party Express rally tomorrow. You can recognize me by the swastika armbands and the tall white hood, carrying a sign with drawings of a gun and a bible, with the words "Crackers Rule" written in bold red marker.

69

Taxed and overtaxed.

But taxes go up or down depending on who's in power over time.

 

The real power behind the Tea Party comes from the defense of Liberty.

 

Freedom, once taken (even if quietly in the bowels of a do-gooder federal program) is VERY hard to win back.

On a (tangenitally) related note, Megan McArdle has just uncorked a real thumb-sucker of a post in which she neatly encapsulates why I don't take her or her commentary all that seriously. She's such a girl -- everyone should be nice, everyone should try to understand everyone else's point of view, and isn't it sad that everyone can't get along? Wah wah wah, squick squick squick. She's exactly the kind of "conservative" that liberals love to trot out as an example of those who are "tolerant" and "broad-minded": in other words, someone who is politically liberal, but market-oriented enough to fool the rubes.

She understands a lot of this herself: big-city born, big-city bred, swimming in an ocean of political-liberal pap from dawn to dark. You could fit what she knows about rural America into a thimble and have enough room left over for a dram of Johnny Walker Black.

I don't mean to bash on her too much, I guess. Like Ann Althouse (another Bigfoot believer), she means well and is certainly not a raving far-left nutter. But I'm not convinced that she's in any way conservative or even "libertarian" in any real sense, and I don't know why true libertarians like Insty pay much attention to her.

This relates to the tea-party movement because I hear a lot of the "dispense with the social conservatism stuff!" coming from tea partiers as well as Megan. But if you replace "social conservatism" with "culture", you see the problem: a fragmented culture cannot support a robust civilization. Money is important to many people, but it's not what they're about, and I think this is the essential insight that escapes so many "libertarians".

I am liberal enough to agree that prostitution should be illegal, but conservative enough to think that you should be ashamed for using one. Just because I don't think it is the government's business to regulate every personal interaction in your life does not mean that I condone all of those actions. The public square (I aver) ought to be an inherently socially-conservative place -- out of sheer politeness and care for others' feelings if nothing else. And I think shame is a good regulator for that kind of behavior. The kicker being, of course, that people have to be able to feel shame -- the liberal argument seems to be to do away with shame entirely, which seems to me to be a toboggan-ride to hell.

 

71

Interesting. I do think there are a lot of people who liked Kennedy---and have held on all these years. It's good you saw what your party turned into. You mentioned that you voted for Reagan. What about Clinton?

I wonder how much of what happened to the dems lies at the feet of LBJ and his great society? I also think that the communists infiltrated the party and provided funds to protest vietnam, etc. We discoved one night on this blog that the anti-military stuff pretty much started when we started fighting communists.

 

72 There are no classes here in America, none.

Pay up, sucka!

73

I am liberal enough to agree that prostitution should be illegal, but conservative enough to think that you should be ashamed for using one.

I meant to say: "I am liberal enough to agree that prostitution should  not be illegal, but conservative enough to think that you should be ashamed for using one." Stupid brain. It no think good.

 

74 There are no classes here in America, none.

Sure there are.  It just wasn't a legal construct until very recently.

Just sayin'

77 #6 Need to think of ways to point them out as left. They have to be "outed" at the time so that the media can't pin their behavior on the right.

It's simple: ask them to cite the section of the Constitution that allowed Congress to create the individual mandate in the health care "reform" bill.

78 Hey Monty vote for me I agree with ur prostitution idea!

79 I've never been to a Tea Party rally, and I probably never will attend one.

So its not clear to me what it means to be part of the Tea Party movement.

If it means that you're against excessive Federal taxation and regulation . . .then I guess I've been a "tea partier" for most of my adult life!

80
Foes of tea party movement to infiltrate rallies

[ . . . ]

Another tea party organizer said the attempt to destroy the movement was evidence its message is resonating.

"We've been ignored, we've been ridiculed. Well, now they're coming after us," said Judy Pepenella, a co-coordinator for the New York State Tea Party. "Gandhi's quote is one we understand: 'First they ignore you, then they ridicule you, then they fight you, then you win.'"

81

dagny -- I voted for clinton. I think having a repub congress helped clinton tremendously. Trust me, this is a huge thing for me to see, I didn't realise it until last year. Clinton was never a far lefty, after all he was a AR governor for a while.

See, the thing is, the undem. party had been moving left, then a bit more left and then more left. Its so far left at this point, it is the radical left, perhaps who knows? it needed to be this far left for even former dems to be disgusted enought to realise what has been going on for a while and now its so bad, it cannot be hid by lies told by the mainstream media, which is why people like me who believed MSM before no longer trust anything they say anymore.

Like I say, I think I was always a conservative, conservative ideas are american ideas, and it needed a way far radical lefty along with the lefty media for millions of recovering dems like me to realise it.

Its interesting, because now I find myself question much of what I had believed, since I relied on the MSM for that information.

 

82 O/T:  Beck is hysterical this morning.  He keeps playing a clip of some woman from some tribe in south carolina.  She is apparently testifying somewhere, as that is how it sounds, and she is so so so upset that her sons don't have broadband.   Beck is guessing they have dial up...

86 Should be pretty easy to spot the libtards.

They ALWAYS take it to the next (usually obscene) level. 

A liberal cannot even pretend to be a conservative.  It would go against every BooshHitler fiber in their granola chewin, non fat soy milk, Tofu, and certainly NO MSG bodies.

Liberals...  proving every day how low they are willing to go.

87 Meanwhile, MA GOP front-runner Charlie Baker and US Senator Scott Brown will NOT be attending the Tax Day Tea Party rally on Boston Common (Sen. Brown was allegedly asked *personally* to attend by the organizers). But (Democrat-Turned-Independent) State Treasurer and Gubernatorial Candidate Tim Cahill and (nominal) GOP Gubernatorial Candidate Christy Mihos will be. Uh, Charlie? Sen. Brown? You really don't have anything better to do on Tax Day. It would be, uh, imprudent to not show up at the rally - especially *if you've been personally freaking invited*.

88 The MA Worcester Eagles Aerie 4311 will BE THERE

89 Wow, seems like Ms. Locklear likes to testify everywhere

Clinton was a Democrat through and through, but he was also a true politician- he would do literally anything to remain popular. When the nation very obviously chose to veer right in 1994, he moderated, and enjoyed excellent approval ratings and took credit for things the GOP Congress had campaigned on.

Barack Obama and his group, I feel, are "true believer" Democrats and as such will not moderate in the name of political vitality- their radicalism and blind full-speed-ahead attitude towards an explosion in taxes, debt and spending will not be tempered even with a GOP landslide in November- hence why WE MUST ENSURE IT IS A LANDSLIDE.

Someone, please, kick Thompson and Pataki out of their comatose hazes and get them to run so we have a 52-48 Senate!

91

It's been pointed out before, but it bears repeating, that the "mandate" for health insurance purchase might just be expected to fail in court.  In fact, it may be there specifically for the court challenge and the opportunity it represents.

When the courts ( most likely) strike down that section of the health care reform package (but not the whole bill, just that section), it will be pointed out that congress cannot compel commerce between private individuals, but government can tax for services it provides, thus bringing about a "court mandated" public option.  If this works, democrats will laugh their asses off that a so-called conservative court brought  socialized medicine to America.

At least, that's my fear, ever since I read this scenario.

92 This will be a true classic, right up there with the "BO is paying my mortgage and buying my gas" lady

And don't forget "Obama Money" and "Obama's Stash".

93 Was Reagan a "Tea partier"?

I understand why a popular national grassroots movement *with public protests* is a new phenomenon, and it also seem plain why its happening NOW, but it hardly seems to me the ideas that Federal spending and regulation are way out of control is particularly new to American political thought.

94 Obama makes me miss Clinton

Clinton was in fact a far left liberal. He was forced to reign it in by the Republican congress.  The media tries to give him credit for being a moderate and "reforming welfare" all the time.

There are a few people who actually believe it too.

95 Bawney Fwank .......is simpwy widicuwous

96 Just pass out bacon, you will get more attendees and smoke out the lefties.

97 Barack Obama and his group, I feel, are "true believer" Democrats

Actually, they're communists posing as Democrats, IMO.

98 *sigh* This breaks my heart. There is video of racial slurs being thrown about at Tea Party

99 Actually, they're communists posing as Democrats, IMO.

The Democrap Party has been communist since FDR.

Wow, Beck is slipping.....surprise...she's a teacher.....and she seems to have her little finger in everything there...

101

well, gents, I have to go to work.  If any of you are interested, I posted above the class action lawsuit by a TN atty on behalf of citizens against DeathCare. Its up to 1200 plantiff as of today.

If you are interested, the information is above, and please pass it onto anyone else interested.

102 When the courts ( most likely) strike down that section of the health care reform package (but not the whole bill, just that section), it will be pointed out that congress cannot compel commerce between private individuals, but government can tax for services it provides, thus bringing about a "court mandated" public option.

Nope.

The court can't "mandate" a public option, it has to be legislated.  Since there is no current provision for it in the bill (even though the bill is designed to bankrupt private insurance companies so they can legislate one later) the court can either strike down that portion of the bill, strike down the whole bill in toto, or come up with some fuzzy headed decree that says it's constitutional even though it clearly isn't.  The court can't then go on to say, "Well since this is unconstitutional were going to add a public option".

Either way the legislature would have to take it up again, and public option doesn't have a snowball's chance in hell of passing the Senate now. 

103
If a fake-racist or a actual racist show up at the tea-party - all the AP has to do is link it to Scott Brown. 

The media are looking for anything they can use to destroy the Republican party.

The tea parties are 95% regular folks with a few nut cases there to ruin it.  Now the nut cases will increase with the deceptive left bad actors.  Reality:  republicans have to be careful. The State run media are watching.

(the same state run media could care less about bloody crazy Bush=Hitler signs and the linkage to crazy democrats and 9/11 troof.)

104 Just had a quick chat with my best friend from high school. His father, who we used to watch McLaughlin Group, Meet the Press, etc. with, is now the co-chair (something like that) of a Central MA Tea Party group. I haven't seen him in a few years, but he's a great guy. Retired engineer, great sense of humor, takes very little crap, etc. They're in good hands.

105 Should be pretty easy to spot the libtards.
I believe there's a sniff test.

Uh, Charlie? Sen. Brown? You really don't have anything better to do on Tax Day. It would be, uh, imprudent to not show up at the rally - especially *if you've been personally freaking invited*.

My understanding is Brown is trying to avoid being painted with the "eeew! Hangs out with Palin!" brush, since Massholes are twitchy about social issues and she's been successfully portrayed as "right-wing Bible-thumpin' gay-hater" despite any actual evidence of gay-hatin'.

106 Go, Monty. Megan voted for Earflaps McBaritone, as did Althouse. They're both about as reliably conservative as Gingrich. While Barry's dreadful flaws were plain to see before Nov. 2008, only in the last few months do they tepidly unwind on His Zeroness.

107 Need to think of ways to point them out as left.

How about sticking a shiv into a kidney or two? Is that too drastic??

108

Well, I've heard that myself, and it gives me some comfort, but it's not the decision that bothers me, but the effect.

I'm not a lawyer, and I'm going competely on memory, but what of the following (and again, I don't mind being corrected, just not insultingly so):

Did Brown v board of education mandate school bussing, or find "separate and unequal" education existed?

In Roe v. Wade, didn't the court essentially find that doctor and patient have a right to privacy.  But the net effect was to legalize abortion, because one couldn't prove conspiracy to commit a crime?

Free speech is a one way street for leftists.

The rest of us?  surfs who should just shut up.

110 Scott Brown owes it to the TEA party to be there.

WE FUCKING ELECTED HIM

And remember - with lefty paradigms, perception is reality, even if the perception is total bullshit.

Or Bible thumping.

When did Palin ever publically espouse any particular religious viewpoint?

IIRC, she said she was fine with the teaching of evolution in schools, which is probably as good a litmus test as any for fundamentalist nuttiness.

114 I hope the libs show up at the Boston tea party and try their moby tactics because it will be so transparently phony that it will completely backfire.

115 it hardly seems to me the ideas that Federal spending and regulation are way out of control is particularly new to American political thought.

They're not. What's new is that people representing this viewpoint are taking to the streets.

116

Scott Brown owes it to the TEA party to be there.

Look: Brown isn't particularly conservative. On most issues, he's right there with Voinovich and the two ladies from Maine. And you know what? That's okay. Brown probably doesn't care much for Limbaugh, Beck, or Sarah Palin. That's okay. He's a Republican who took Saint Teddy's seat, and that's enough for me to give him a pass on almost anything else he might do (or not do) during his tenure. He's probably antsy about being identified too closely with the Tea Party folks -- he's got to run for re-election in a notoriously deep-blue state pretty soon, remember. Now, I'm usually the first guy to ding pols for having no spine (fuck you, Stupak), but in this case I'd rather have an R occupying one of Massachusetts' Senate seats. That is a pearl of great price and not lightly cast away.

 

117 #117, I agree with you.

118 Scott Brown owes it to the TEA party to be there.

Meh. Let him have some cover. As long as he votes the right way.

Scott Brown needs to get reelected in MASSACHUSETTS.

The tea parties are 95% regular folks with a few nut cases there to ruin it.  Now the nut cases will increase with the deceptive left bad actors.  Reality:  republicans have to be careful. The State run media are watching.

I think you're giving too much credit to the LSM in their ability to shape public perception regarding the Tea Party movement.

If no one is paying lefty infiltrators to show up, they will be few and far between.  The LaRouchites and Paul bots will always be hovering around the fringe and so far the only people that truly believe that they are representive of the movement at large are folks like Chuckles the clown.

Listen.  If the lie perpetrated by the media about the N-bomb being dropped on the CBC during their Selma reenactment didn't damage the movement, a few nutcases and plants holding up ignorant signs ain't gonna do it either.

Go to your local Tea Party.  Relax.  Be counted.  Have fun being surrounded by people who share your concerns.  If you see a plant or a nutjob, shun him.

121 Did Brown v board of education mandate school busing, or find "separate and unequal" education existed?

No Brown found that separate but equal (Plessy) was "inherently unequal" based on zero evidence but it did not "force busing".

Busing was developed after the civil rights act as a remedy for not meeting the quotas. 

As for Roe it expanded on an already existing finding on privacy to say that "early term" abortions could not be prohibited.

122 Rather OT, but I missed out on the snark earlier last night. You know who we don't need at any Tea Parties? Newt Gingrich. The guy who has this brilliant plan to defund and repeal. You know, the plan that was on everyone's lips until the SRLC let Newt on stage and behold... A Newt Plan! The same Newt who sat on the seaside sofa canoodling with Nancy Pelosi, ready to deliver us into the hands of the warmist hysterics. He's like the French revolutionary elitist who said "the people are on the march, I'd better get at their front." Just. Go. Away.

71  Once the individual can no longer police themselves through ideas of shame/morality/ethics/civility, the individual has to be policed by a societal overseer.

And the sheepdogs get turned into police dogs as a matter of necessary evolution and psychological reaction.

Moral of the story: it's a bad idea for sheep to start getting visions of turning into wolves...it doesn't end well.

124 IIRC, she said she was fine with the teaching of evolution in schools, which is probably as good a litmus test as any for fundamentalist nuttiness.

No she has never done that, provide proof or STFU.

125 @106: Yeah, I hear you Heather. The thing is though, the Globe-Democrat and the rest of the Boston media is going to go out of their way to tar Brown with the "icky Teabagger" brush anyway. So he may as well be there.

126 @127 I'm not so sure. Brown remains pretty popular here. The Glob might try to smear him, but it's not working so well.

"A Louis Vuitton online store provides AAA quality replica "

Is that like triple A rated bonds or the auto helper dudes?

128 Vic, her most recent statement on the issue I believe: "Couric: Do you believe evolution should be taught as an accepted scientific principle or as one of several theories? Palin: Oh, I think it should be taught as an accepted principle. And, as you know, I say that also as the daughter of a school teacher, a science teacher, who has really instilled in me a respect for science. It should be taught in our schools. And I won't deny that I see the hand of God in this beautiful creation that is Earth. But that is not part of the state policy or a local curriculum in a school district. Science should be taught in science class." Previously she had said discuss both.

Clinton was in fact a far left liberal. He was forced to reign it in by the Republican congress. 

I agree and I certainly didn't vote for him. However, I didn't get the sense from him that he HATED the U.S. that I get from Obama. He very well may have since a lot of these far lefty douchbags that Obama has in his admin were Clinton people but at least I don't think that he personally wanted america to fail. Hillary, maybe.

while 84% of the Political Class say they have no ties to the movement.

 

This always bugs me.  There are no classes here in America, none.  Except the ones the media invented to you know, attempt to divide people into.

Jreb, I've been using the term "political class" myself lately. I think it's appropriate.

I'm done with this electability shit. I want principled conservative politicians. Electability is just another word for loser, anyway.

135
Scott Brown doesn't get hurt one bit by being an outspoken conservative and supporter of the Tea Party.

You see, the funny thing about the Left, they paint every Republican as a right wing extremist racist bigot sexist homophone, anyway.

Da!

140 Clinton was a sleazy crook, liberal asshole, and probably a serial rapist.

BUT he didn't hate and fear Americans the way Obama does.

Imagine taking Barry (back before he became an Elected Official Person with an entourage) and Bill to a county fair.  We'll even pick a nice Blue state like Minnesota or Massachusetts.

Bill would be shoveling down funnel cakes and corn dogs, winking at the underage girls, laughing his ass off at the racing pigs, and generally having a hell of a time.

Barry would be afraid of getting something on his shoes.  He'd see a horde of racists getting ready to lynch him.  He'd be nauseated by the smell of fattening, unhealthy food.  He'd get a headache and go home early.

Report:  Attack on Jindal Aide and Boyfriend Politically Motivated (beaten for wearing Palin buttons)

142 Regarding Scott Brown:

It might be worth remembering he's a Romney guy. If he avoids this party, he avoids having to defend Romney and RomneyCare.

I'd rather Brown attended, but I also criticize Obama for constantly throwing his friends under the bus. I can't very well argue that Brown should give up Romney so quickly.

Until Romney leaves the national stage, Brown's going to have to walk this tightrope.

Report:  Attack on Jindal Aide and Boyfriend Politically Motivated (beaten for wearing Palin buttons)

Posted by: kent at April 13, 2010 02:02 PM (aRkue)

Makes sense. The NOPD and the news media in general sat on that story for three days and even now I don't see it being reported anywhere else.

 

144 AP published it early this morning but had almost no details (I had a link on one of the ONT). There is still a massive absence of details on it.

But it does fall into one of those what if categories. This time what if....

A black female fundraiser for the NAACP and her boyfriend were exiting a fundraiser at a restaurant and they were jumped by a hoard of white thugs who beat them because they were wearing NAACP buttons?

The city would be cordoned off and the national guard would be patrolling while the FBI did a massive hunt for the evil hate crime perps.

145 It might be worth remembering he's a Romney guy. If he avoids this party, he avoids having to defend Romney and RomneyCare.

Much as I hate RomneyCare and Romney generally, you have to take what you can get in this state. Brown was better than Coakley would have been, and he's a 41st vote to maintain a filibuster when it really matters.

146 It is a good thing for us that the Democrat party is not like Mohamedism in that if you leave it, you get killed.  Expect a larger rejection of the Democrat party as the year progresses.
