Now, I KNOW you don't listen, or you're just being dishonest.

The very LAST thing Limbaugh and Hannity would do is cut off a liberal. I've never listened to Levin, so I don't know if he has the patience to listen to their insanity or not.

The RIGHT NEVER seeks to cut off debate or discussion, nor to silence dissent. ONLY liberals do that, by threats, intimidation, or seek to use authority to censor them.
So you don't know who Chris Plant is yet I do. And you think I don't listen to conservative radio lol And you obviously don't listen to Rush and Hannity's shows. If you did you would know how they cut off their listeners who don't agree with them, not so much Rush but Hannity and Plant for sure. If you do listen to them then you know how condescending they are. We have no liberal radio hosts so I have no idea where you get your ideas.

I dunno they they can answer any of that besides the rhetoric they are told by MSM, Facebook and Twitter comments. They are not even aware that they are not real Liberals.

So, in other words, you couldn't come up with any worthwhile to add to the discussion, so you too resorted to, "I know you are but what am I?"

No, I'm all grown up and taking you to task for the deception you posted, your gaps of knowledge, your lack of perspective (especially with regard to anti-corruption), the indefensible nature of the perspective, and then how I caught you implying that the law only applies when it goes in your favor; and you got hurt so instead of acknowledging the things I wrote you decided to post a personal attack. I think you've made very clear the compromised nature of what you present.

No, it makes lots of sense. You either are unwilling or unable to comprehend it - I won't speculate which.

So given that I condemned it, vigorously, what does that make me?

Direct your request to those who picked up that label. They're not teabaggers because I say so.

Self

Just more phony outrage aimed at others for their own stupidity.

Amusing.

As much as she is vilified by the Right, Frances Fox Piven provides, from a left perspective, a pretty empathetic analysis of the Tea Party.

"They have attracted the some of the same people that were attracted by movements from the John Birchers to the Christian Right. But the Tea Party is also I think a little bit different. They’re not a religious movement. They are better educated than the public at large. They are not the people who are hurting as a result of this economic crisis — although they may be alarmed by some of the instability caused by the financial crisis. And they are terrified by their loss of status and political centrality as the country changes demographically.

For a long time, pollsters on the Democratic side have been looking forward to the demographic changes that would make minorities so important. Well, they have occurred, and not only minorities, but poor people turned out in large numbers for both Obama elections. [Tea Partiers], they’ve always had standing and authority in their little communities. And that’s being challenged. Not just by Obama — Obama is the symbol. That’s being challenged by these broad shifts that are occurring in the population and in electoral politics.

How do they react? They scream at their rallies. They say, “Take it back!” That’s a scream that reflects, I think, the loss or threat to the sense of ownership."

if they are well educated and well off, they should be screaming to take it back. it's their money being extorted.
