Caucus of Corruption
Sad, and comforting at the same time.
Are they calling for a coup like Rush? Are you?
Deleted – unsubstantiated allegations.
5,000 eh? there are about 12 million or so people in the United States state of Georgia, and 303 MILLION people in the United States that will NOT go.
Interesting.
Keep re-arranging the deck chairs fellas, you 15 minutes of fame will begin to end in 2010 and you’ll be thrown on the ash heap in 2012.
Enjoy it while it lasts

I never realized I was a “right-wing extremist” till DHS made it clear that as one who believes in the Constitution I apparently qualify. Now the political genius orlando seems to be defining Americans who believe in the first Amendment as “right-wing extremism”.
Seems to me that when normal average American citizens who gather together to discus their feelings about the political direction of the country, they are really just “nuts” and “extremists” accoding to the folks who believe that only Lefties have the right to assemble, or have anything of value to say.
What I found most amusing was Pelosi’s whine that the tea parties did not represent a “grass roots movement” —yeah, right. And it’s early days, only six months since TOWHABWF rose to the throne. Give it a another year and see how many people are speaking their minds about the need to stop this runaway train of Obamunism.
Remember, at the very height of his popularity, more than 47% of voters voted against Obama, even with a weak alternative candidate like McCain. It won’t take all that many disenchanted, disillusioned, pissed-off citizens to tip the balance in three years.–Do the math—-how many voters comprise 3 or 4 per cent of those who voted in 2008? Shift that number from the Obama side to the GOP and you have a one-term president. magnum seems to think that the only way to achieve a shift in American politics is to have a majority of the entire population moving in unison three years before an election—sounds like more of that Lefty wishful thinking to me.
Now the political genius orlando seems to be defining Americans who believe in the first Amendment as “right-wing extremism”.
No, you are once again choosing to place yourself under the description of right-wing extremist. Why you would want to do that is beyond me, but you seem very eager to do so.
In fact, this reminds me that when I said before that you guys like to pretend that right-wing extremism doesn’t exist, I was only partially correct; you also like to define yourselves as right-wing extremists. In your world, either everybody’s a right-wing extremist or nobody is. It’s the sort of formulation that fits in nicely with your “all or nothing” outlook.
Are these events not timed for the 4th of july? Or is it a photo from the previous round of parties?
You’re not allowed to talk about right-wing extremism, wdc1. These folks like to pretend it doesn’t exist.
Another pot/kettle moment, courtesy of orladnoper…

Why’s that, blowzo? Because they’re not protesting a war or some drowning polar bears? Funny how you demean protests not organized by your kook side, yet some of the protests your guys do are absolute freak shows. I imagine you attend them, being that you’re a freak, and all…
From Mark Rubin at the Examiner:
“But the problem with the Tax Day Tea Party movement is that the chief organizers,political conservatives, the same people who are now complaining about deficits, are the same people who kept their mouths shut for 8 years while George W. Bush ran the country into the ground with his nonsensical, inept incompetent policies, enabled by a compliant, irresponsible Republican congress. Which reveals the Tax Day Tea Party movement in terms of the organizers as nothing more than a partisan political event.”
Yet more insane anti-Bush delusional fantasy from the psuedo-Brit pseudo-eonomist. Mark Rubin–what an objective authority!!
Silliness incarnate, when linked with pathological irrational hatred, equals what passes for intellectual political discourse from the Left.
amazona,
Getting a jump start on the drinking? You are repeating yourself. Or, perhaps that’s all you can do when you have nothing to say.
Deleted – complains about comment policy.
Unsubstantiated allegations???? The Anti-Defamation League verified it for Christ’s sake. What do you want me to do? Mark, it’s clear how you remain a Republican. You ignore all evidence that says that anything whatsoever is wrong with your beliefs or people who represent your beliefs.
Simply because you don’t like facts doesn’t mean you should continue to disbelieve.
When the RRL just regurgitates the same old same old, the same tired accusations and inventions and lame insults, the same answers suffice for pretty much all you have to say.
So here it goes again—if you had a point, you’d make it. If you had a coherent political philosophy, you would explain it and espouse it. But as all you have is spite and malice and an addiction to the negative, that’s all we will ever get from you.
It’s a personality disorder, thinly and poorly disguised as a political position.
If you don’t change, why should my observations change?

et tu amazonae.
What have you elaborated that is not just regurgitation?
The problem is that the tea parties and their organizers have tried to draw parallels that are nonexistent to the Boston Tea Party. Somehow, by trying to make this association, this “movement” has used that to give them relevance and legitimacy.
While there are a number of sore losers who feel that somehow the mantle of power has been unfairly taken from them. This combined with a network of like minded people in the media who have been the primary organizers have been the main impetus for this Astro Turf movement.
By asserting this parallelism the tea baggers have made it out that they are against taxation without representation. Problem with that argument is that everybody does have representation and those representatives were chosen by the people as mandated by the Constitution.
Further, if these tea parties are about the stimulus spending then they should have started in October of 2008. But then that would have been harmful to the Republican candidate. The timing makes it look like a reaction to the losses suffered by those on the Right.

Good thing I did nothing of the sort, then. So again, if you’re going to delete a comment for hitting too close to home, at least be honest about why you’re deleting instead of inventing a slight against the comment policy and using that as your rationale (i.e. lying).
RE: Problem with that argument is that everybody does have representation and those representatives were chosen by the people as mandated by the Constitution.
Only those who live on government subsidies and do not seek to better their life have representation, yes.
But those who strive to work and pay for their living don’t have representation, because the government is taxing oppressively.
