I've already addressed and debunked that fantatical source you've now quoted twice. Anything new to contribute other than name calling and personal attacks?

This video is perfect fodder to those that toss racist around

To tell you the truth - ToTellYouThETrUtH - Best to read things carefully before commenting - "views need to be considered" - I guess you missed that as you rushed off to add more comments to your 35 PaGeS of CoMmEnTs on the forum so far. Try to follow this famous quote because it might help you to listen to the views of others. - "Each coin has two sides. A head and a tails. What one person sees is not necessarily what another person sees, nor is it the whole picture" - should sound familiar because it was what you wrote on March 11th - Practice what you preach my friend. lol - Have a good day writing comments all day here. Byeeee

sure poobah......Not a member of the tea party and well aware of the difference between a surplus and the national debt--in the context of the mythical "Clinton surplus" they are totally connected. Please educate yourself to find out how Clinton achieved his surplus" rather than just blindly follow the party line. It wasn't by cutting government spending or running government programs more efficiently.

witchy: Your logic escapes me. Obama spends multiple times more money than Bush, and you ask "where was the tea party?" The tea party formed rather spontaneously when spending under Obama started zooming out of all rational control. Your comment is akin to saying "sure, the whole neighborhood is burning down, but I didn't see all those fire trucks when it was just one house on fire!" "And oh, by the way, you must be racist". Had to throw in that last line because it pretty much fits the script.
Let's deal with today's reality. We elected a black president, proving once and for all that we are not a racist country. Now that he's been in office some 20 months, he needs to be accountable for his actions, regardless of his skin color. Let's have a color-blind society and hold our president accountable, just like we would any other president.

George Bush's economic policies were great. A brilliant man. Greatest president ever according to Colbert.

SarahB1, yes, the Gazette endorsed Holder. Their editorial was a smear against Keach, and sickening. I urge you to read (maybe go to the library, since paying for that garbage would be insulting.)

I've decided to post my comments here. We'll see how long this blog stays open.

newsread5, the recession started in December of 2007, with the collapse of the housing bubble. Please tell us what economic policies the Democrats were able to enact that both created the housing bubble, then caused it to collapse just 11 months later.

Saw a picture of a bunch of old white ladies with goofy hats and badges on their clothes waving flags at a political rally in the Wisconsin State Journal today. Those old folks at the Fighting Bob Fest sure looked funny.

Did I miss the article in the Gazette about the 6500 people that showed up for Fighting Bob Fest in Baraboo on Saturday?

The day the Democrats took over was not January 22nd 2009 -- it was actually January 3rd 2007.

The day the Democrats took over the House of Representatives and Senate, the start of the 110th Congress.

The Democratic Party controlled a majority in both chambers for the first time since the end of the 103rd Congress in 1995.

"For those of you who are listening to the liberals propagating the fallacy that everything is "Bush's Fault," think about this:

January 3rd, 2007 was the day the Democrats took over the Senate and the Congress:

At the time:
The DOW Jones closed at 12,621.77
The GDP for the previous quarter was 3.5%
The Unemployment rate was 4.6%

George Bush's Economic policies SET A RECORD of 52 STRAIGHT MONTHS of JOB CREATION!

916WI, I don't understand how you conclude I am racist from my post. I also don't understand how you could misinterpret my statement that Clinton left Bush with a budget surplus. A budget surplus is not necessarily the same thing as a reduction in the national debt. Then again, tea partiers really don't care about the rational definitions of things.

So 3,200 people in a county of over 200,000 were motivated enough to attend, that is just over 1.5% of the population. And when you consider that some in attendance traveled from outside of Racine County the percentages look even better. This is a good sign that the vast majority are not falling for this ideology of misinformation and intolerance.
It looks like they just dropped in to see what (pitiful) condition their condition is in.

poobah--you're a little bit of a racist....huh? Anyone that actually believes there was a true "surplus" under Clinton is wayyyyy to clueless to be taken seriously. He "borrowed" from intragovernmental holdings to pay down the public debt--show me one year that the total national debt went down during Clinton's presidency......oh yeah--you can't:)

stupid teabaggers :)

Oh, andre_linoge. I see you've been reading your angry old white men's websites again. Where'd your numbers come from -- Pat Robertson? The vast majority of the 2009 debt (2.6 trillion) that your numbers attribute to Obama was mainly George Bush's, not Obama's. Learn how the budget cycle works. And remember that Bush started with a surplus he inherited from, yes, the Democrat Clinton. Obama inherited Bush's mess and hasn't spent any where near what Bush did. In fact, Obama would have had to spend at least another trillion dollars to have equaled Bush's spending. Just more Tea Party misinformation that can't go unchallenged and uncorrected.

A bunch of angry old white men and women who were fine with the way things were going when the laws only applied to themselves. But start to become a true melting pot like all of them read about and were proud to talk about and things suddenly change. Freedom of religion? Sure, as long as your religion is Christian or Judaism. I too can not wait until those students who were protesting and are true believers in our Constitution take over from these angry old white people. Poor angry, old white men -- first they lost control of their white women through the right to vote and the beginning and financial equality and now they're losing control of the last vestiges of their perfect white world. Thank you student protesters!

Superdave. Where were these tea party people when Bush/Cheney and the Republican Congress were spending this country into oblivion with an unfunded war, passing tax breaks for their cronies, and de-regulating the banking and oil industries so the rich got richer and the rest of us got screwed?

Let’s talk Dave! Rampant waste, overspending… Total cost of Iraq/Afghanistan wars since 2001! $1,078,197,742,820. A good share of that money went to Halliberton and its subsidiaries. Who do you think is paying for that! You and me Dave! Smaller government, aka de-regulation, do the names Goldman Sachs and AIG ring a bell! We’re footing the bill for that one too! Google BP and Halliberton will be there.

The supposedly “conservative” Bushies did not run this country into the ditch; they drove it off a cliff! Now George and Dick are enjoying the good life; writing their memoirs on luxury ranches in Texas and Colorado while the rest of us worry about saving our homes from foreclosure and our retirement savings from disappearing completely. Thanks boys. Have a nice life!

Let’s talk about the war in Iraq a little more; 4,420 brave US soldiers killed, 31,926 more seriously wounded. Don’t forget the countless young men and women who live with PTSD and the thousands of military families who sacrifice and suffer as well. Then there’s that number; $1,078,197,742,820.

Angry, damn right Americans should be angry! George and Dick’s “shock and awe” show may well have cost this nation a strong economic future. Tea partiers have the right idea; they’re just a little weak on the facts…

WW

The protesters must have been really tiny or else there was some sort of a giant hand there.

SuperDave, Great comment.

3,200.. thousands? technically... but barely,

tz7v9s - You're trying to compare the attendance of an event which has been ongoing annually for 8 years (Fighting Bob) with an even planned only months (maybe only weeks) ahead of time? Fighting Bob has been happening every year since 2001 and still managed to garner only 2x the attendance of a recently started movement, and an event only recently planned...that's sad.

Whoa! Jess Jackson was there! I clicked on Yahoo news, and there was front page article. Secretary of Agriculture Jim Hightower, Democratic gubernatorial candidate Tom Barrett, Wisconsin Democratic members of Congress David Obey, Tammy Baldwin and Gwen Moore, plus other prominent speakers from Wisconsin and across the nation. Whoa!

Racism is alive and well in the Democratic Party and the liberal media. It's a different kind of racism - parochial, condescending, patronizing. They envision a world of cradle-to-grave government benefits that has the (unintended??) consequence of destroying the black community. But as part of their continuing effort to deflect that reality, they accuse most everyone else of racism, even those in the tea party who are themselves minorities! Huh?
Ever since Republicans freed the slaves, and later spearheaded Civil Rights, the Democratic Party has convinced many that they are the party of the little guy, the protector of minorities, the defender of victims everywhere (even as they create more victims every year). Bull. Read your history books.
The tea party movement has nothing to do with race or racism, despite constant attempts by the media to equate the two. The tea party movement is about smaller government, limited constitutional powers, and putting a stop to rampant waste and overspending. That's it.

Did anyone important speak at Progressive Democrat's annual "Fighting Bob" rally in Baraboo? Russ would make a good one to have speak. Then it would make the news for sure.

Yesterday was also the Progressive Democrat's annual "Fighting Bob" rally in Baraboo - attendence estimated at 6500.

Ever wonder why the Tea Party gets headlines if Sara Palin and 4 folks show up at a Quick trip and and the liberals are ignored?

When people use racism for political purposes it makes a mockery of the racism we seen first hand in the 50's and 60's. These children know nothing of racism except what they read in books and T.V.

One of the rising stars is Tea Party favorite Lt. Col Allen West. He needs to seek a higher office than the House of Representatives.

Sorry to disagree Dwight---but those kids are smarter than what you think. I know SOME of the people that attended that rally and the kids views need to be considered. I have seen some of the racist signs that some carry on the national news and in various news publications. Even the vice president has pointed out that the "unfortunate comments" that some in the Tea Party have made. The racist posters at these rallies are seen too often by many. So if Paul is the speaker at this group get together then I look at him with disfavor.

The students from Horlick will have a much better understanding of the Tea Party's message once they're out in the real world an paying taxes themselves.
