That may be true for many of you but there are a few people here who aren't in my family. If some of the people here who continue to purposely post lies were in my family I'd find a new family. I have no problem disagreeing with someone over facts which may or may not make me happy but I refuse to spend time educating complete morons who purposely lie and make every attempt possible to derail an otherwise civil thread.

See, most of us actually get it.

If a tea party website was able to get their hands on this info, why wasn't NewsMax? You, a member on this forum was able to get this info. What is NewsMax's excuse? Incompetence, laziness, or journalistic dishonesty?

Not every thread is or should be a case of you versus me. I may disagree with many things that tea partiers may say but I'll defend to the death their right to say it.

this is from newsmax. probably didnt even happen, and if it did they are putting the newsmax spin on it.

post articles from at least somewhat neutral sites.

What does that have to do with the Tea Party or their signs?

Even a tea party website clarified the story and stated that the city had not intended the ban to apply to people carrying signs, but to signs being affixed on structures. Newsmax = rag.

Typical liberal (again). Since you have nothing to say about the topic you insult the opposition. FAIL- again.
