rhetoric which is in fact hate speech against a group of people? Isn't it used as a small minded derogatory slur against one group because another is intolerant and hateful about what they stand for? I know, the hate group who uses it will give a dishonest derogatory response about what they stand for, lie about where they came from, how they comport themselves, and give disinformation about who is behind the movement ... isn't that exactly how Jews were treated by the Nazi Movement? They justified their rhetoric with more dishonest defamation about the subject of their political targeting. The KKK, (founded by the same political party as those who really don't like the Tea Party Protesters) did the same to the black race using much the same small minded tactics. The fact is the Tea party protectors started up while Bush was president because they didn't like trillions spent on bail outs. They felt that the free market economy should be allowed to work, and businesses that don't work should fail. That to prop up bad businesses and put the burden on tax payers to do it is not only a bad idea on the surface, but also incentivizes bad business practices and taking from the people through the government to support those bad, unsound practices that can't sustain themselves. They know that in a free market economy where taxes and government intervention is kept to a minimum the GDP rises and more tax revenue is available to the government, it's happened that way every time taxes have been reduced on the producers in this country They also look at what happens when the Feds overstep, as in the dept of education leading to more money and more money being poured into a bad school system creating parasitic teachers Unions with less focus on the children's education and more on how to grab all that can be grabbed from the public coffers. Just one example, there are many. The Tea parties have nothing to do with race, at least not with those who started them. A few idiots slip in to everything, but that's not what opposition to Obama is all about except for a tiny fringe. It's about wanting to keep our constitution intact. Our economy strong, and the federal government out of our lives as defined in the Constitution because government controls lead to one thing, corruption and massive amounts stealing from the public as does access to any huge pool of cash. If you allow it, the thieves will come in droves, it's their nature, and unfortunately right now it pretty much drives government. According to Martin Luther King, (a man most democrats pretend to respect, but obviously many don't have any respect his message, so it shows the pretension of respect to be a lie) You don't judge a man by the color of his skin, but the content of his character. By the very meaning in his statement, this principal transcends color. It applies to any group, race, religion, political, sex, whatever, because it's not about any special groups we must respect, it's about any group, it's about any individual. No individual is more important than another individual when it comes to respect. No group either because it's all part of the same principal. Obama proposes massive spending and a government take over of many industries. I know he said he doesn't, but the actions speak louder than the words that lie to us. I know they lie, because I know they lied in most instances in the past. Public will be given time to read bills? LOL! Congress isn't even getting time to read the bills. It goes on and on. Laws broken to give his supporters car companies, billions of dollars as in George Soros, Acorn, Al Gore, Unions, Hamas gave him campaign contributions, anything that is Gaza is Hamas, they run the government, nothing goes to Gaza that doesn't go to Hamas, and no one in Gaza has money except it's controlled by Hamas, so it's a fact he got contributions from Hamas and gave a billion to Hamas. There is plenty to be upset about with Obama. How does race enter into it? It doesn't matter what race he is. The same type of people didn't like Carter either, or Clinton before he lost the Congress and made his show of a big shift. The Tea Party movement is not about race, it's not about a party, and it's sure as heck not about big corporations starting something. Obama's bought off most of the big corporations and interests, at our expense. Drug industry by pushing out their patent time so generics take longer, AARP by giving them a monopoly on add on insurances exempting them from high taxes imposed on others, much of the insurance industry, Trial lawyers by opening up a whole new area of fertile potential for them, AMA with a huge contribution to the organization (but he is opposed by nearly 80% of actual doctors) and there is more but that's enough off the top of my head. The big government interests and the filthy rich behind entertainment industry and media are smearing the Tea Party Movement with lies and defamation. Do you real The big government interests and the filthy rich behind entertainment industry and media are smearing the Tea Party Movement with lies and defamation. Do you really want to be with those types? Allow yourself to be turned into a bigoted tool of the fascist interests out to make out riches stolen from the tax payer for themselves at your expense? Or those who are protesting that? Who do you really want to be? What do you really stand for?
