"Let's be very honest about what this is about. It's not about bashing democrats, it's not about taxes, they have no idea what the Boston Tea Party was about. They don't know their history at all. This is about hating a black man in the White House. This is racism straight up. That is nothing but a bunch of tea-bagging rednecks. And there is no way around that... They are now dependent upon immigrant bashing, and hating the black guy in the White House. Will people act on that? It's not new, but Fox doesn't mind fomenting it. Michelle Bachman doesn't mind fomenting it. Glen Beck doesn't mind fomenting it... but what have they got if they don't have this?" ~Janeane Garaofalo, 4/16 MSNBC.
Note to Rupert Murdoch: Janeane Garofalo your d-lister on "24" needs to have her mouth washed out with soap, she should be spanked, and her parents should be called to take her home early today. She has slandered your broadcast network, doesn't seem to understand the difference between your news operation and the entertainment company that writes her paycheck, and is perhaps one of the more vile human beings to ever call herself an American.
But enough with her best qualities.

I don’t know if she has. The real point is that Joe Biden has spewed all kinds of nonsense including FDR’s big broadcast of 1929. Garafalo flatulently blathers her own inanities, and I thought that the road apple would not have fallen from a horse’s posterior like Biden. As to his real daughter, I don’t think she’s the imbecile Garafalo is..
“Hey Jeanine, you fascist, rednecks have rights because they’re people and they’re citizens....You hate them because they won’t become like you and have the right to disagree with you.”
Great thought. It is the essence of a free democracy to be able to protest against the government. Voltaire put it quite succinctly: “I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.”
Time and again, in my lifetime, I have seen the citizens of this country, both conservative and liberal, rise up in anger and disgust when their fellow citizens exercised their god-given rights to protest, whether against excess taxes and spending, or against a war, or abortion, or anything else. We should instead respect our opposition’s right to protest, and thank God that we are allowed to do so as well.
“By contrast, the Boston Tea Party did occur and was indeed a tax protest...”
Excellent point. Of course, the Boston Tea Party participants were also upset that they were being taxed by a foreign government in which they had no representation; whereas here, our elected leaders behave as though they are representing a foreign government, instead of America.
Modern “progressivism” is the antithesis of patriotism. Quite simple.

“Keyes is a good man. He lacks charisma. I voted for him in MD. He would be a very good president.”
Yes; he’d be a wonderful president. I was itching to vote for him, but went w/McCain in an attempt to block Hussein. Learned my lesson when I voted for Perot and we got Clinton.
No argument on that!
Liberals hate anyone who challenge their perceptions of superiority.They also hate people they can’t intimidate or frighten
