The closest parallel & contrast in the same vein would be the current Tea Party protests & the Iraq War anti-war protests. The contrast comes in that the Tea Parties are a true grassroots movement; whereas, the anti-war anti-Iraq protests come from the Communist ANSWER & other organizations.

Go back & read your English 101 book. You’re a mess.

Don’t worry about all the Americans who want to insure freedom for themselves and their children. Just get back to your ACORN job or what ever you do and work hard and pay your taxes because I want all the free stuff Obama promised me. Besides he said he was going to heal the earth and he can’t do that with out your money and labor. Get in their and do your patriotic duty. I need some of your taxes to live off of.

‘Blah, blah,….blah”

For someone so absolutely sure of the irrelevance of the Tea Parties, you spend a great deal of time here whining about it.

I think you’re scared. You’re one of the blinkered fools who thinks this is only and all about Obama (and the democrats) because you think the world turned on November 6th. It didn’t. It continued on the same course that the Tea Parties are against. Accelerated certainly, but the same course. Obama is just more of the same old politician for sale and if you knew squat about the Tea Parties you’d know that is what they are really about. Obama has proven he has much less substance than the usual suspects, so he compensates by buying off his support sooner and for more money. But the idea is unchanged no matter what flavor of politician buys into it. Conversely, that lack of substance does make Obama a cheaper investment for those support groups – more bag for the buck so to speak – as they know he’ll never stand up to them. But he isn’t unique, he’s politics as usual. Just even cheaper and less principled than the norm.

Congress should be very nervous today. Visible evidence was everywhere in their hometowns yesterday that Americans have had enough. Will it affect their votes – either that or it will end their careers.

Just like the Tea Parties . . . what WAS the name of that movie? That besides the point. The left scared? Not even close, but I understand your need to say that . . . to whistle past the graveyard of irrelevance that is the fate of modern protests. You don’t want to feel (or admit) that you’re wasting your time. That’s fine. You’ve proven to everyone that self-delusion is a part of your core – sneaky leftists will infiltrate our tea parties . . . Obama will fail to act on the pirates . . . the government is on its way to my house to take away my gub. The list of ginned up BS is as long as Hannity’s nose, which grows longer everyday.

So, I leave you with the question all protesters must face when the day after proves to be the same as the day before . . . Now what?

The “where was the outrage then?” canard is irrelevant. Even if we grant for the sake of discussion that the same folks who showed up at the Tea Parties weren’t outraged over the last 8 years (a ridiculous notion), the response is still, “So therefore what?”. We’ve surrendered our right to be outraged now? And if we’re trading hypocritical barbs, if you were outraged by runaway spending over the last 8 years, why aren’t you outraged now, when runaway spending is accelerating at a breakneck pace?

I was at the Tea Party in Albany, NY. Although taxes were a HUGE part of the resentment, the root of the anger is gov’t's creeping, maddening intrusion into our daily lives. While high taxes has everyone outraged–and rightfully so–they’re a symptom of the problem, not the problem itself. The fundamental issue runs much more deeply.

Little one, I laugh at you and your obvious lack of a life. But even if you really make some people angry, why exactly would anyone believe angering their political opponents is an effective political strategy? Oh, yeah, tick us off, that’ll make us stay home and shut up! Oh, yeah, that’s the way to go!

The truth is you resort to mockery because your public school teachers never taught you how to argue effectively. And you spend a lot of time trolling PMJ because – well, because you’re pitiful.
