Of course this comes from the wsj. The tea baggers are corporate orchestrated PR fronts - they're staged protests, bought and paid for corporations, literally. Why would they attack bankers? I don't think Armey is offering his services to liberal groups so I doubt they'd even take money for a campaign against bankers.

The Tea Parties are a dog and pony created by the neocon big business players.

So it's hardly likely that the tea parties would turn on them since that would be kind of like attacking themselves.

Aren't the Baggers against everything and want only ANARCHY?

Go to thinkprogress.org and lok up Freedom Works. You'll notice the tea baggers only rail against causes that are "sponsored" by corporations, who pay Freedom Works. These same corporations often also mix their own employees with the crowds, so really the tea baggers are nothing more than a brand that corporations are paying for the rights to use.

So anyway, I finally ordered the droid over the weekend and I am waiting for it to arrive.

I can't wait to f with that thing. I am a gadget geek.

I also got my wife the Eris. She isn't too technical but I think I can get it setup nicely for her.

Hume,

As a friend, I would ask that you not respond to Wilt’s obtuse questions. He race-baited yesterday pretending he didn’t know why the use of knee grow, an outdated and offensive term, was considered raci.st. Several posters advised him why the term was racist, but that didn’t stop him.

Before that he claimed it was OK for libruul Democrats to use it, by posting it, even though Harry Reid apologized for using it.

I thought he was harmless, but he is at best a fruit loop and at worst someone who finds amusement in race-baiting.

Personal attack.

Maybe you can provide an example of how I am racebaiting.

I will wait.

Was there this much outrage when it became publicly known Rev Wright was a hater who influenced thousands of people? And that he did it as a "religious" man.

Had you taken the time to read Rev Wright's writings and listened to his videos in entirety, not just rely on hate raidio, you would know that Rev Wright is anything but a hater.
Rev Wright fights racism, and speaks out against it. That is not racism.

Sure, there are a few things in his speeches that are nor accurate, and some statements that are inflammatory. But Rev Wright is no rac!st.

Racism is the belief that one race is superior to others.

But, even if you believe that Wright is a rac!st, does that justify supporting rac!st Teabaggers?

Think about it.

Questioner: Umm, I wanted to ask you regarding your inclusion of diverse populations in the republican party. What is your plan moving forward?

Steele: My plan is y'all come because a lot of you are already here.

Somebody in the background: I'll bring the coffee.

Steele: There you go. I got the fried chicken and potato salad.

Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson are products of institutional Jim Crow, and cannot therefore be compared to Teabaggers who bear signs with racial epithets. There was no time in the Civil Rights movement where Sharpton or Jackson bore signs with racist epithets against white Americans. There are no current images of them bearing such signs. To the contrary, Jackson was heard on tape making a racist comment against his own people, in that case it was against the to-be President Obama.

Don't construe racism with being reactionary toward racism.

"Jackson referred to Jews as "Hymies" and to New York City as "Hymietown" in January 1984 during a conversation with Washington Post reporter Milton Coleman. Jackson at first denied the remarks, then accused Jews of conspiring to defeat him. .."

Congress won't support bank regulation as well. All are in the pockets of Wall Street.

Real Brother here.

Exactly JaCqie. They think if they mask their true Raci$m that people will either be fooled or will embrace their nonsense.

They are simply too dense to realize that they don't have to be blatent for us to know what their motivation against a Bl@ck President is . The fact that they have come up with NOTHING of substance is all the evidence we need. Next week it'll be something else they are weak and phony, I feel ya'.

[Waxer]

11:44 AM on 01/12/2010

I could care less whether he resigns or not. He will lose in November. We need Harry for 9 more months and his numerous gaffe's.
