911 was our Reichstag fire. Where have you all been?

I so far see that they at least know how to demonstrate without properety damage;burning and riots that even sports victories have resulted in.

What you call "painic (sic) and fear" is, in reality, derision and scorn.

And it's not that some organization is organizing these teabagger parties. It's that the organizations that are organizing them stand to make money off of your advocacy. They are lobbying firms who work for rich people and corporations. They want tax cuts for the only people whose taxes are not already going down.

See the difference?

One question, when was the last time you saw an anarchist or rioter wearing an "I love Reagan" t-shirt? 'Nuff said?

What kind of t-shirts DO anarchists wear, pray tell?

She is a Rhodes scholarship recipient and has a Doctorate in Political Science. Unlike some TV personalities, she doesn't need to be called "Dr. Rachel" for the ego inflation.

What a strange comment!

People complain about the tea parties and label the participants as radical extremists and yet they'd support a beer hall putsch if told to do it.

Besides, what about the opposing forces were conservative? They were statist occupiers, the worst kind of liberal wingnut.

This whole "tea party" is so stupid - and from what I've heard, all invented by morons at Feaux News.

The original Boston Tea Party was in response to taxation without representation. All you anti-tax, anti-Obama freaks have representation! And I'm suspecting the majority of you aren't bazillionaires who will actually be paying more taxes. Get a clue!
