I would assume so - All of these things are.

I'll ask you the same of the Rally.

I guess it goes down to how you define "plenty of hate". I wouldn't say there were plenty of counterprotesters there, though I did see two.

I agree with you and would say that on that same note when you talk to people about what Obamacare is going to do for them, or how, when Obama got elected, what people expected Obama to do for them was filled with equally clueless comments and expectations. It was obvious that they were told one thing, or at least believed what they had been told in the run up to the election and they got something different. Maybe that contributed to the huge loss yesterday.

I never actually attended any Tea Party events in this area, but we passed by quite a few over the last year or so, I never saw a single hateful sign at any of them. They just looked like ordinary folks. But you know the press, which is liberal by and large, will seek out the pictures of the extremists to further denigrate those they disagree with and then try to repeatedly pass and post those as the mainstream. The NAACP tried it and failed in a big way to paint the organization as racist. At first they were passed off as "astroturf", and now supporters effectively used the system to oust long standing incumbent politicians. That is a good thing IMHO. They were a success. So much for "astroturf"...

Bruce, if you are such a great mind, let's see your ass go to three TEA parties and find something out for yourself. My experience of TEA parties does not remotely resemble what you think you're seeing.

If you're going to content yourself with hostile secondhand accounts, how are you escaping bigotry, I wonder?

I don't have to go there, I've got you.

Urbane Guerrilla · 11-09-2010, 04:06 PM

You do have to go there, and three times: I won't do.

After all, you're more interested in putting me down and pleading to remain mired in your darkness occasionally, than in engaging in personal growth.

I'm more interested in growing than in putting you down. Nor am I here to steer you wrong.
