@BeantownJim Again, DO YOUR OWN HOMEWORK!

Here are just two examples:

•"At the first tea bagger convention this weekend in Nashville Tom Tancredo  noted white supremacist and former Congressional architect of scads of anti-immigrant legislature opened with a speech...".

•"Billy Roper, who heads the white supremacist White Revolution group, based in Arkansas, is listed as an organizer on a Tea Party movement Web site".

If you don't like it, refute it!

Most of the teabaggers I have seen are just angry, uneducated, homophobic/racist, religious fanatics. If there are sane people to be found in their midst why do they not distinguish themselves? The whole "theme" of theirs is to not play the Washington game, yet the sane teabaggers are willing to tow the line with these crackpots? For what purpose? Refute your fringe or be identified by it.

Truth herts Zionists.

I'm a 'classic liberal' as opposed to the more modern liberals I was referring to and bashing. I'm not a republican, except that I still believe in small government which republicans usually just use as a line to get elected to promote their shitty moral conservatism and traditionalism as opposed to fiscal conservatism.

@SuperCrescentFresh I'm a fucking minarchist LIBERTARIAN. Fuckin' John Locke is on my list of inspirations on Facebook for goodness sakes. I'm as ANTI-AUTHORITARIAN as you can get next to forms of anarchy. I was using the term to speak of a group of people who like EXPENSIVE, RETARDED, and MICROMANAGEMENT in their policies. Some things that ree 'liberating' have long term consequences and are much less liberating than we think. I do not parrot Fox News, Judge Napolitano is the only 1 I like.

Is it hopeless to think that maybe we can try to do better than we did before?

[54markl]

You may really dislike the opinions of people with different politics than you, you may have no sympathy for their point of view at all. But please people, differences are not a reason to hate and demonize. Everybody is sickened by the recent violence. It's up to us to help it not happen again by being better than we have been. Slamming others is just aggression, it solves nothing. If we can't agree, maybe at least we can discuss calmly and without anger, and arrive at just solutions.

What about Obama trying to rationalize the TSA groping people!? Obama isn't defending our rights but Ron Paul did. I trust Ron Paul quite a lot more than Obama.

[mizzoulibertarian]

what are they talking about? didn't exist before he was elected? bullshit.

[thundercat952]

and who did he bail out the rich

[azmildman]

Naw, they are mostly butt puppets of Shawn Hannity and Glenn Beck who are butt puppets of Rupert Murdoch. They don't even understand the sayings on their picket signs. They don't know why they oppose anything other than it is "Socialism" and "Obama is Hitler" and "Obama is a tyrant" and so on and so on. I dare you to ask one of them to explain to you what socialism is.
