What's the point of using words if you modify their meanings as you go?

p.s.
In order for something to start, roots need to be formed Dont talk to me about failing the IQ test if you dont understand that roots need to be formed before something is started. And now by your own admission, roots were FORMED prior to Obama.. There goes your "racist" argument!!!

Yeah, we saw how "patrioitc" were republicans (and a whole lot of cowardly democrats) in the build up of the Iraq war. Anyone who raised his voice was shouted down immediatly. Even traditional allies were alienated for giving a different perspective.

Gotta love your American way.

Ooh please.. Give me examples of people being shouted down. The left was so full of protests that they enjoyed being able to call for Bush to be hung, killed etc...

Btw, here is the ORIGINAL foundation for the tea party. SEE THE DATE!!
Boston Tea Party 12.16.2007
And the website for the original tea party gathering
http://www.teaparty07.com Again SEE THE 07 in the URL?

Internet is a terrible thing for Democrats, because it proves you guys wrong time and time again..

I agree. The people protesting the Iraq War should have never been shut up.

By the way, I'm an anarchist at heart. I have little to no use for democrats or republicans.

Here's a video made in 2007 about the Tea Party. It has clips from MSNBC, CNN and FOX......Funny the Tea Party folk were angry at republicans and Bush at the time. Watch how differently they are treated by each of the networks. Never noticed it before. Shows how biased all 3 are.


Tea Party 2007.

- The initial protests using tea bags was started by a no name (Graham Makohoniuk) on some forum and the movement picked up after media coverage. You didn't need roots for it to start.
- I didn't admit to anything. I said you can say you >think< you can trace back its origins, but doesn't mean it is the case.
- I never mentionned anything about race or planned to, much less made an argument about it.

I read your comments here and there. Your trolling is really bad. You really seem to have an issue with reading comprehension.

Oh, you remember, don't you?

They were busy serving up Bush/Cheney/Rumsfeld talking points:
"vast stockpiles of WMD"
"we know where they're at--in and around Tikrit"
"the occupation will last three months-- worst-case scenario, six months"
"Iraqi oil will pay for the invasion so it won't cost U.S. taxpayers a dime"
"democracy will spread like wildfire throughout the Mideast"

And not a single one of them will take ownership of their pathetic, gullible misjudgments. Not one.

I gave you links to 2007 where the tea party protests were being discussed. How do you explain that?

So why do you think they started protesting against Obama? Its YOUR argument that it didnt exist before Obama. Others have clearly said race was the issue, why do you think?

And when you get proven wrong, you start to attack.. Explain to me the discussion of the "Tea Party" 12/15/07? Boston Tea Party 12.16.2007

Are you serious? What you found is a coincidence. You found some obscure fundraiser for Ron Paul in which the organizer used a well known historical event. And you linked with another event, a protest with a guy who also happen to use that historical even, a guy who was a no name and had no history with what you,re referring too.

All the pieces of the jiggsaw puzzle in your head are forced together to give you the view you want to have.

You assume I don't want the Tea Party to start before Obama because I use the race argument or whatever. I don't have an argument. I honestly don't care much for Obama (why do you call me a democrat, lol?). I simply pointed out that you were wrong with dates.

And since then, you've been trying to create some alternate reality where the first official Tea Party protest took place in Jan 2009. It hasn't sorry.

Now move on and quit making things up.
