Frankly, I'm just hoping to bait him a little more, so I can respond by posting Youtube movies of moronic liberals.Quote:

Unless you want to consider your own clarity of opinions a sign of their superiority, which is fair enough I suppose.
This entire discussion is, nonetheless, a huge red herring. To contrast the under-paid, unvalued whores of the system with demagogues and crowd-movers like Palin is as dishonest as it is abhorrent. If I were truly cynical I'd compare the monetary value of each :o
Definitely too subtle, because you actually CAN see OG saying that.Quote:

While I agree that painting a whole movement with the same brushed based on a few lunatics is not the way to go, presenting a more racist gathering as an argument not to, is not the way to go.Quote:

I on the other hand think that it's worthwhile to expose the TPP crowd as suspiciously racist, while not reminding people all the time of the fact that I think that black people should shut the fuck up about slavery as a 'white thing' because it weren't really white people that supplied the market and that for that reason I think they are talking out of their backside when they claim the moral high ground.
I am sort of aware of the futility of repeating all my thoughts all the time.
I'm not sure I follow/agree with your first point.
I should note that I don't think it's bad to point out racism at tea party rallies. But I think the media emphasis/hand-wringing on this issue has tarred all grassroots opposition to Obama and our massive over-spending as racist. Every conversation about what Obama is doing wrong suddenly has to be caveated with obvious and useless platitudes, EG, "His achievement is so great for our country, but..." to avoid the masses from jumping town your throat.
I think you're charging at windmills. I think you want to be the victim of bad media so badly you'll jump at any mention of the word "racism" to shout: See!? Just when you said you don't think it's bad when racism is pointed out, you use that same pointing out to show how awful the media is.Quote:

No shit sherlock. I gave you the option of staying on topic and trying to defend these "over the top" speeches, or to follow the tangent. You took the tangent because you have no argument for the other path.Quote:

So because some idiots may have said something to someone in a wheelchair, we should keep borrowing unsustainable amounts of money? It's an immature way to engage in politics,
The Tea Party has an image problem and its not like its a new media created image problem. The racism, better-than-thou, image has been there since the beginning.
Spoiler:
What the Tea Party is unable, or unwilling to do, is to correct that image. Not all the speakers preach hate, I'll give you that. They do have a tendency to incite their followers however. Thats their job. The problem is that there is no clear path. Crowd turns towards homophobia, the organizers/speakers say nothing. Crowd turns towards racism, scream "Nigger!" on capital hill; the podium says nothing. The crowd starts throwing rocks through windows, cutting gas lines, what was the organized response to that?
You can sit here all you want and type as much as you want to claim the Tea Party is not racist, but you're not on the podium. So you have have as much weight on the subject as the people in the crowd screaming for violence, because (using your own words), you were not invited to the podium.
I'm not saying the tea baggers have to have a response to everything. The Republicans do a pretty damn good job of being seen as the party of family values, without having to remind us everytime one of them gets busted for destroying their marriage with a gay lover.
The do however need to make their party goals more clear. You telling me the speakers at these events don't see the hate? Ever?

So, that is justification for using unsupported hyperboles? From a guy complaining about the generalisations in the media?Quote:

Shakespeare in his day didn't get as dramatic as this.
Last "TPP" rally had 36 black people in the crowd (out of several hundred), whining about taxes and supporting cutting back the government and such. Those racist bastards!Quote:

Well, it probably involves not being stoned, so probably pretty difficult for you and your ilk.
No, I think you're doing a good enough job of acting like a middle schooler for all of us.Quote:

Cool! Then ALL of our anecdotes and home town stories count just as much as his. No citations needed. :up:Quote:

Or do Latinos and half-negros not count as people to racists like you?
8 million in 2008Quote:

It's sad when liberals are so racist that they can't see brown-skinned folks, even in a blown-up picture, with the brown skin circled. :(Quote:
