“I didn't know secessionists made b0`mbs.

I thought they used legal means to promote change.”

“What a bunch of quitters, The going gets tough, you don't get your way and you take your ball and go home.
I'm so sick of that wimpy attitude.
No one said this was going to be easy.
Just because you feel entitled to change, doesn't mean President Obama is going to hand it to you on a silver platter. You gotta work for it, just like our President is doing. He'll fail without our continued support, just like the "right" planned.
Buck up, and quit whining.”

“Obama's continuing the Bush-Cheney agenda.

Do you support a unitary executive?

Do you support continued t0rture and rendition (it's still going on, in spite of Obama's cover line that leads O-bots believing it's not: "I ordered the end of t0rture"). Do you understand that "ordering" it isn't the same thing as "stopping" it? That's the 'lawyer-speak' I've talked about.

Do you support real healthcare reform, single payer universal healthcare, affordable quality medical care for all and not Obama's 'Private Insurance & Pharmaceutical Industries Protection Act'?

Do you support 'prevention detention'?

Do you support deregulating banks and corporations?

Do you support Wall Street over Main Street?

This is all Bush-Cheney's third term.”

“My son had brain surgery for a burst aneurysm when he was sixteen. And now suffers seizures regularly.
There have been a number of times when I found him walking around or I'll just find him standing around somewhere in the house staring blankly. He can, on occasion, even hold a conversation with you that he does not recall at all.
He has never left the house during his wanderings, but I do live knowing that it's a possibility.
If he did, I'd fear more for his safety than anyone who might run across him.
For him to be hurt or if he hurt someone during an "episode", would be difficult to bear..”

“It has been pretty foxy around here lately.
When a Republican switches sides and says they're a liberal Democrat, I tend to be a bit leery, and I think they need to do some over time to prove they mean it. Seems like HP is slipping back into old patterns of GOP tactics, including a lot of links to Fox Noise stories and Politico, like maybe we wouldn't notice.”

“I don't know if anyone else noticed, but they showed an African American 3 or 4 times and it was always the same guy.
I don't really like to pay much attention to them, but I have a son with a brain injury and he can be quite "temperamental" at times , no matter what you tell him, if he believes something else, he will not listen to reason or truth. It got me wondering, since he reminds me of these tea party folks, if they too might be mentally challenged.”

“Hey ... they HAD 1(ONE) Black guy AND showed him 4, 5, 6 times at least! You realize ... he got more face time than any white person in the short and he got to speak too! Only problem ... there were NO Black or Brown people in ANY of the other footage ... large panned view of crowds ... folks all lined up on the lawns of WASHINGTON DC.! I just checked the US Census Bureau latest numbers 2008. 54.4% of population of DC is Black! YET ... NO Black or Brown peoples in the crowds! What up with that? Their America has only ONE Black guy? Well ... don't they plan on having more? Who's gonna get with the Brother? I mean really with all that teabagging ... can't a Brother represent?”

“He and most of the people in this film were hired actors, that is pretty obvious. I have been in the video business for 35 years and I know an actor when I see one. No black guy in his right mind would be associated with these yahoos!”

“Yeah - I noticed that too. I replayed it a couple of times to make sure.

I'm pretty sure he was about the only minority non-white there. If you see footage of their events elsewhere, they're all white.

Notice how they don't do many crowd shots, where you can see the demographics (or lack thereof...­) of the crowd.

Guess the clan doesn't attract a "big tent" type crowd.”

“I think they are just afraid, because fear and hatred are the foundation of right-wingerism. Fear of Mexicans, fear of Saddam, fear of government, fear of crime, fear of the loss of some golden age that never existed. I feel sorry for them.”

“It goes beyond ideology.
It's just my brand of common sense.
If my neighbor abuses everyone in the neighborhood most of the time, but, on occasion, is a nice guy, I would treat him the same way I treat Fox.
Why would I want to keep putting myself in the way of abuse, just to find out if the guy is going to say something "nice" today?
I do not trust Fox.
I have heard their lies and misinformation and see they are leading people down a dead end path, with h8 and fear as their guide.
Just not into that. It was a decision I made with my eyes wide open, not blindly.”
