Thank you again for keeping me up to date!

Wow, Shuster used DK’s talking points to a tee, regardless if that those facts were wrong.

How odd to have this homophobic, classless, tasteless jerk commenting on etiquette.

DAVID SHUSTER, HOST: For most Americans, Wednesday, April 15th will be Tax Day. But in our fourth story tonight: It‘s going to be teabagging day for the right-wing and they’re going nuts for it. Thousands of them whipped out the festivities early this past weekend, and while the parties are officially toothless, the teabaggers are full-throated about their goals.

They want to give President Obama a strong tongue-lashing and lick government spending-spending they did not oppose when they were under presidents Bush and Reagan. They oppose Mr. Obama‘s tax rates-which will be lower for most of them-and they oppose the tax increases Mr. Obama is imposing on the rich, whose taxes will skyrocket to a rate about 10 percent less than it was under Reagan. That‘s teabagging in a nut shell.

(snip)

We can only speculate why widespread teabagging made Cavuto think of the Million Man March, unless he got them confused with Dick Armey. And in Cavuto‘s defense, if you are planning simultaneous teabagging all around the country, you‘re going to need a Dick Armey.

In Shus ..defense to state the oppositions stance gave Kristinn the chance to refute and state the facts...

It is a legitimate form of interviewing....But he would have been better to say...The article in the Sun says that: or Kos says that... What do you say?....Instead he just quoted their position...knowing Kristinn would show the error in the statement. Kristinn was ready for him.

Our debate coach would often do that. State a comment we all agreed on or disagreed with and then show us our error or let us prove him wrong....
