BINGO you can sit by and let it ride but don't complain when it hits its stride

TEABAG OBAMA!!!!!
it wasn't anything like what you described. i met interesting thoughtful people on the train ride in and out of town, and the speakers were good.
the only ignorance was CNN's laughable attempt to cover the event.

They had Glenn Beck and
that Rock and Roll, AK-47 toten
Ted Nugent here in old San Antonio.

I did not hear them speak, but I bet it was good.

Catholic drunk turned Mormon, and a man who really
understands that heavy metal is your friend. The riveting
conservative intellect was out in full force.

Seriously, the Republicans are just dyin by bringin out
these big guns.

She was obviously being confrontational, but that guy clearly has no idea how a TV reporter asking you a question works.

She was not asking for a ****ing dissertation, so I can hardly fault her for trying to get him to say something, ANYTHING, that mattered or was remotely relevant in the span of six minutes since she didn't have all day. If she had to instigate to try to get something out of him, so be it, because it doesn't take a partisan Democrat to realize he was just going to meander along about Lincoln and Liberty without actually saying anything any time soon (hey, isn't that what you guys say about Obama, that he just talks in vague generalities without saying anything of substance....you should totally have some sympathy for her!).

And I'm glad, no snark whatsoever, that you met thoughtful, smart people. I never doubted they were out there. I just highly doubt that they outnumber the idiots.

brianwspencer 04-15-2009 09:26 PM
Oh god, sorry I can't help myself. The very first video I found of that same reporter had her talking to a man with a sign. As a favor, I'll transcribe the conversation for you.


Man With Sign: I mean he's a fascist.
CNN Reporter: Wait, why do you say he's a fascist? He's the President of the United States.
Man With Sign: Because he is a fascist.
CNN Reporter: Do you realize how offensive that is?
Man With Sign: I think he's a fascist.
CNN Reporter: Why?
Man With Sign: Because he is.
CNN Reporter: In what way can you say that?
Man With Sign: Because the real pirates are in the White House and in the Senate and in the Congress. We need one term limits for all these elected politicians.
CNN Reporter: Why be so hard on the President of the United States with such an offensive message?
Man With Sign: Because he is. He's a fascist.

First, non-sequiter much? WTF? So rich, as she gives him literally five different chances to bail himself out by even making a modicum of sense and it's essentially five massive, consecutive fails.

Second, this was only the second video I've seen so far...so you're only batting .500 for these people not being idiots, Jim.

Did you guys figure out how to reform the tax code?
I would like to hear some ideas on that. What did they
come up with at the rally besides we pay too much in
taxes. (I got wacked this year)

Lets make this thread into a true tea party type discussion.
Since maybe a lot of us just finished doing our taxes and are
pondering/thoughtful types, how
did you guys decide to make it simple and fair?

Heck he missed work to call the president a facist.
This does not require him to know what the word
actually means.

We dont have State taxes.
But figuring out how to pay
when people leave you stuff that is
not in the form of cash. Its a mess.
