Last time I heard screaming THAT shrill it was against Ronald Reagan.

Which should really tell you something.

I just don,t understand the liberal hysteria about the tea party.

We're going to take their power and repair much of the damage they've done and they know it.

Apparently Obamacare doesn’t cover his meds.

Look I’m all for Ted Cruz being in charge

So am I but the Tea Party is not a branch of the republican party just because some republicans support the movement nor is it the modern day version of the Klu Klux Klan, nor was it the entity that closed down the government. Obama/Reid closed it down and with the intentions of "making it hurt the American people". Now John McCain's not going to come out and admit that but these journalists need to be exposed for their false reporting everytime they come out with these lies.

I dunno.

So far I think Ted Cruz is going about this exactly right.

And he’s the right person for the job. I say let him keep right at this stuff.

:)

Don’t take it personally. They can’t stop the tide. I’m black, I drive a decent car, and I have a yellow Gladstone “Don’t Tread On Me” bumper sticker on my car. When I step out of my car, white liberals stare at me like I just stepped off a spaceship. I love it!

The mindless robots who watch anything but FOX have been convinced the TP is racist and extreme. It’s all Corey Booker talked about and it worked like a charm.

Happened to wear it to Indianola.

Which I most certainly do. Perhaps I should clarify. I remember an interview Breitbart gave on bias in the media. He said that we should have two medias, like the British have. One right and one left. He said that’s the mature thing. So in that sense I’m all for developing our own media presence i.e., Rush (Fox news to some extent—not so much now) other talk radio personalities and social media. However, I believe any energy “fighting” the left-wing establishment media is pure folly. In terms of messaging we need to get away from why they get it wrong and more on why we get it right. The Tea Party movement grew in spite of them because of our own media channels, not because Maddow or Morgan said something. Fundamentally, I have a hard time believing there is an “undecided” public out there anymore that is susceptible to the PR battle that requires us to scream “FOUL” all the time and play a reactive game.

Their intent is to marginalize conservatives.

Absolutely, and it facilitates such comments as "wacko birds" and "extremists within our party" that you hear from RINOs such as McCain, Graham and King. These RINOs feel it's easier and accepted for them to go public and attack a group that's considered racist and all the other false adjectives the media uses to describe the movement.

We all know that even without the negative false descriptions of the TP movement, John McCain and the GOPe would still be against the Tea Party, but they would not find it as easy to come out and publically attack like they have been doing if the American people knew that "Tea Party" is nothing more a movement by Republicans, democrats, independents of every race that support fiscal responsibility and constitutionally limited government.

You think McCain would attack so publically if he knew that most Americans knew there were also democrats in the movement?

I highly doubt that the RINOs will come out and publically attack a movement that stands for fiscal responsibility and constitutionally limited government. They will still work behind the scenes to destroy it, but they won't be able to go public with their attacks.

Personally, I could care less if McCain attacks the Tea Party or not, but it just gives him opportunities to go on TV every sunday and I'm sick of seeing his face. So, let's take that opportunity away from him by debunking the false KKK claims. The worst that will happen is the movement will grow and perhaps run against the RINO when he's up for re-election.

Yes, welcome! A Gadsden flag? I’m planning on getting an 1812 battle flag I saw in a catalog. It’s black and has a skull and bones on it, the date 1812 and like the Gadsden flag the words “Don’t Tread On Me.”
Can’t wait to get it and fly it. Like the poster of the buzzards sitting on the branch, caption “I’m tired of waiting, I want to kill something” I also feel something like the outlaw fraternity in “Animal House”:
I want a Homecoming float that looks like a giant cake and says on it in big letters: EAT ME.

There is no right wing equivilent to MSNBC, CNN, cBS, NBC, PBS, ABC on American TV. Fox is not a right wing TV news network and never was. They have opinion programs with hosts such as Sean Hannity who are on the right, but they also have Greta, Geraldo and Smith to balance it out. Fox is more center than anything.

Rush Limbaugh is AM radio’s answer to TV’s CNN & ABC but he’s on radio not TV and he’s got the facts behind him.

MSNBC is television’s answer to AM Radio’s Alex Jones but Alex Jones is not on TV (I don’t think I want to see him on it either).

What we need is Breitbart TV Network or CNS TV network, something that’s 100% right wing to counter CNN, ABC and cBS.

“Fox News was the most fair news network during the 2008 camaign” - Hillary Clinton.

Thank God for Fox News. But it’s not right wing. It only appears right wing next to leftist CNN.

I don't want us to fight them, I want us to expose and discredit them. I just want to see more Dan Rather forced retirements for false reporting.
