She is influencing awhole (a whole) lot of simple minded people thru (through) her books. . . you think?

She is also influencing a lot of highly intelligent and educated people as well. Just to be fair. Maybe you should look into the income and education of some of her supporters?

But this thread isn't about Sarah. There are many other threads dedicated to her if you enjoy bashing and the like. . .

What I meant is, they should not be given any attention by the media for all they do is incite hatred and make the US look like a breeding ground for rednecks. Most Americans are decent people, however the tea party really adds to the already damaged reputation of the US.

In the 2 days you've been posting on the board you've endlessly called for us to give up our Second Amendment rights. Now you're calling for an end to political discourse.

Why is someone from Denmark so vociferous in demanding we give up our freedoms?

comparing obama to adolf hitler or osama bin laden, or calling for the assassination of keith olbermann is not political discourse. it is hate speech.

Damaged in who's mind? Denmarks?.

I think the good ole U.S.A has a pretty good reputation historically thank you very much though!

These are not TEA Party platforms. To claim otherwise is disingenuous.

A decent person wouldnt call someone a ' redneck" in an insulting manner as if that redneck is not less then you

I really dont get that insulting others simply because they dont agree with you politically. It shows the actual character of the person doing the insulting. That they have no respect for others unless they agree with them. Which isnt something in my opinion to be proud of.

Was it hate speech when the left called Bush all of those names?

Point being at some point and time this BS has got to stop. We have got to become adults and put treating each other with respect before trying to score points for a political party

This tea party person has never called Obama any of those names just so you know before you label entire groups for the actions of maybe 1. I dont know anyone that attends the tea party here that calls Obama any of those names

Well, I will hope that Keith stays safe. He is one of my faves and tells it like it is.
