The thing is, I love the body of work that Sean has done as an actor. As a political activist not so much......I always find it funny how certain entertainers think it's the cool thing to go overseas, you know, and diss America.
The Tea Party, the new useful idiots of the the Koch brothers.
Yes, yes, koch has donated monies, not the only one either. Kinda like the democratic party and good ol' mr soros isn't it? So, you don't approve of peoples donating time and monies to political movements? I'm told mr obama is projected to raise as much as one billion for his reelection bid in 2012. That's a lot!
Leadership and groupsMorris says the Tea Party is a grassroots movement with no national leadership. "Those who conduct its affairs are mere coordinators of local groups where the real power lies. The entire affair is a grassroots-dominated movement." He notes that the teapartypatriots.org umbrella group, with more than 2,800 local affiliates, has only seven paid staff members, and a payroll of $50,000 a month.[4]
An October 2010 Washington Post canvass of 647 local Tea Party organizers asked "which national figure best represents your groups?" and got the following responses: no one 34%, Sarah Palin 14%, Glenn Beck 7%, Jim DeMint 6%, Ron Paul 6%, Michele Bachmann 4%.[24]
The success of candidates popular within the Tea Party movement has boosted Sarah Palin's visibility.[92] Rasmussen and Schoen (2010) conclude that "She is the symbolic leader of the movement, and more than anyone else has helped to shape it."[93]
The movement has been supported nationally by prominent individuals and organizations,[94][95] including:
501(c)(4) Non-Profit Organizations:
Tea Party Patriots, an organization with more than 1,000 affiliated groups across the nation[96] that proclaims itself to be the "Official Home of the Tea Party Movement.[97]
Americans for Prosperity, a grassroots organization founded by David H. Koch in 2003, and led by Tim Phillips. The group has over 1 million members in 500 local affiliates, and led protests against health care reform in 2009.[94]
FreedomWorks, an organization led Dick Armey. Like Americans for Prosperity, the group has over 1 million members in 500 local affiliates. It makes local and national candidate endorsements.[94]
Tea Party Express, a national bus tour run by Our Country Deserves Better PAC, itself a conservative political action committee created by Sacramento-based Republican consulting firm Russo, Marsh, and Associates.[98][99][100][101]
For-Profit Businesses:
Tea Party Nation, which sponsored the National Tea Party Convention that was criticized for its $549 ticket price.[102][103][104][105] and because Sarah Palin was apparently paid $100,000 USD for her appearance (which she put towards SarahPAC[106]).[107]
Informal Organizations and Coalitions:
The National Tea Party Federation, formed on April 8, 2010, by several leaders in the Tea Party movement to help spread its message and to respond to critics with a quick, unified response.[108]
The Nationwide Tea Party Coalition, a loose national coalition of several dozen local tea party groups.
Prominent Individuals:
In July 2010, Representative Michele Bachmann, a Minnesota Republican, formed the House congressional Tea Party Caucus. This congressional caucus, which Bachmann chairs, will be devoted to the Tea Party's stated principles of "fiscal responsibility, adherence to the Constitution, and limited government".[109] As of August 2, 2010, the caucus consisted of 49 Republican representatives. Jason Chaffetz and Melissa Clouthier accuse them of trying to hijack or co-opt the grassroots Tea Party Movement.[110]
I don't care about either, but I found Ozzie's comments incoherent and retarded.
Translation:
Hermes was given a personal guided tour of the underworld by Hades. As opposed to being shown the realm of Tartarus where the majority of the tortured, lost souls dwell (The group for which Ozzie belongs), Hermes was shown the contrasting paradise of the Elysian fields. Ozzie's anger lies with the fact that Hermes, having never lived within the underworld and under the governance of Hades, has declared himself informed enough to classify life (or is it death?) in the fiefdom of Hades and has become a messenger for Hades' propaganda.
Who actually cares what a overweight Venezulaun multi millionaire baseball player cares about Sean Penn? Since Penn had the balls to go to Haiti after their "earthquake" while this douche bag was probably worried about his "contract"? Spare me please!

Well he might go back home to Venezula when OCARE kick in and they take OZZIE'S Big Macs away for being obese...and for people on here using terms like OBAMA does about the real mentally ill "I bowled a 129 like a Special Olympian" shows his contempt for underlings not up to par with his majesty's GREATNESS....Hope O's golf game is better than his job performance as POTUS he has shown the world just how weak a leader he truly is and believe me our enemies have taken notice of His Ineptness.
