Clarice Feldman's column is excellent. I'd say, a "must read" but I hate that...lol. Better to say, it's a very informative and well researched read.

Last year I wrote that the Tea Party demonstration in Washington was a "transformative event," and I described it through the eyes of a participant:
Sometimes an event occurs which is transformative in a way that everyone who sees it or participates in it instantly is aware of. Yesterday's demonstration in Washington DC is one of those rare happenings in my opinion.
The Daily Mail said 2 million Americans participated.
My friend Charlie Martin extrapolated from the pictures an attendance figure of 2.3 million.
Here is a time lapse of the parade portion of the event so you can get a feel for yourself of the size of the crowd. Whatever the actual number it is sure to be seriously underestimated by the Obama-besotted members of the press corps who are also likely to misrepresent the participants and their views.
But as a participant, I want you to know the attendees were wonderful people, civil and polite. They showed their respect for the Capitol and the event by leaving no mess behind when they were through, in marked contrast to the inauguration and the usual left wing demonstrations here.
The feeling I have is that this is a wretched political class, as full of itself as it is idea-less and talentless and the people know it.
They are disgusted enough with the new American elitism to travel on their own dime by any means available to come here to let Congress and the President know that they will use every legal means at their disposal to overthrow them. And overthrowing them is precisely what they intend to do. Congress is up for election in 2010. They can rely on the grossly inaccurate press accounts if they choose. But I'm telling them it would be a major error to do so.
Rosslyn Smith described in detail her experiences with this growing movement and shared my views that it would not be out down:
Everyone in the political class, journalists, consultants, elected Democrats and Republicans alike, needs to know this:
Those countless little-known people who established the local e-mail lists, organized first one, then two, then three or more chartered buses, held sign-making parties and packed box lunches, are not going to go away any time soon. Continue to enact legislation that we cannot afford and they will be back, perhaps in even greater numbers.
The Democrats need to realize these demonstrators are beholden to no one. The Republicans need to realize that they still are not trusted. Why should they be when each day seems to have another story of compromise on core principals and going along to get along with spending their children cannot afford?
While the media is concentrating on the anti-Obama aspects of the demonstration, there was also a message to the Republican establishment:
Lead, follow, or get out of our way.

This week, the attacks on the rebelling voters were so preposterous that a friend suggested we rename this National Parody Week. It really is hard to pick out the most obvious examples, so bear with me if I've somehow left out a favorite of yours.
The great pundits speak:
Let's start with the incredibly myopic lefty journalist Margaret Carlson.

** Clarice Feldman is just excellent .. Ping!
Wonder if the tide will change if the radicals have a successful turnout on 10 2 10.
The time lapse video of the 8/28 mass of humanity is really something to see.

At that point I think we would be on the way to Yugoslavia, writ large.
You all will want to read Clarice Feldman’s grand slam column!
Good stuff organized on Biden and she literally shreds the democrats.

Wooo ... I didn’t know that .. LOL.
Hehehe .. they’re all going to implode in
a jillion bits of vaporized humanity.
Whose back now, Margaret ?
Oh thank you, thank you .. our Angel in the Whirlwind.
Thank You, praise You, Dear Lord.
Sure, Palin created the monster now threatening to steal her thunder by endorsing the unknown O’Donnell four days before Tuesday’s primary
~~~
OMG .. she’s delusional .. infected ..
it’s full blown PDS .. acute stage.
ROFL! ...
Margaret, the scorned and hater, will explode when she reads Clarice’s column. LOL.
Why would Palin want an obvious knockoff hawking her wares on the shores of the Delaware?
~~~~~~
Beyond PDS .. strait jacket time .. jeeeeesh!!!
ZZZZZZzzzzzz time ... ;)
I hope whatever Margaret Carlson smokes, is illegal. She thought it was "wise" that Governor Palin was "otherwise occupied?" Does she mean to tell us all that Governor Palin was merely 'occupying' herself by headlining a major speech, that received national headlines, in the very important state of Iowa, in the fear that Christine O'Donnell would outshine her? This shows a complete detachment from reality by Carlson.
“Often we don’t realize when we are cooperating in our own demise”
As Carlson aptly proceeds to demonstrate. I couldn’t even finish reading that crap. She truly is a mouse among rats.
bttt
A key point in my thinking is the knowledge that the "civil rights" movement was at least partially a child of the news media, and a very unusual alliance of liberals and conservatives, while the tea party is growing even with media and liberal opposition.
Thanks for the ping. Clarice is a national treasure. She doesn’t pussy foot around in making her points or speaking the truth.
There was no better proof of this than in New York this past Tuesday when the establishment picked RINO Ricky Lazio lost in a LANDSLIDE to Carl Paladino, in the race for NY State Governor.
The polls are so far off this election it is not even funny.
They showed Carl behind for months, then the best they ever showed him was tied with Lazio on Monday (48-47).
On Tuesday Tea Party candidate Paladino won in a LANDSLIDE (62 to 37 %)
And this was WITHOUT any national help or Palin endorsement or ANYTHING.
And the same is going to happen to Andrew Cuomo in November.
There are thousands of Paladino signs up all over- I have yet to see ONE Cuomo sign.
This is wrong. The Republicans have not had core principles since RR left office. Newt tried in 1994, but his own party sold him out, almost immediately, when they discovered that they held the keys to the pork locker.
