		<description>Yes major I remember that song...I think conservatives fit this song completely... like that old stooges episode where they were about to become rich and then they came to take away the guy that promised them the riches..The right wing has decended farther than I have ever seen them go... I just believe it is simply that they are the biggest sore loosers in history... they cannot take the results last november.. so they are grasping this delusional rhetoric and thinking it is real...we must call it what it is... delusion...Nothing the right has been saying since last november even comes close to reality...they need the ambulance to take them away  .hahahahahah</description>

		<description>I think it was Henry Kissinger who once said &quot;even paranoids have real enemies.&quot;  Let me explain how this is from the conservative point of view.  We &quot;right wing extremists&quot; want all babies to live, so the left says we must hate women.  We want to keep what we earn, so the left says we must hate the poor, especially minorities.  We want to be safe from wingnut religious ideologues who want to murder their way to total world domination, so the left says we must hate peace.   Do you see how we might just give up trying to make sense to you guys on the left?  You won&#039;t listen to our sensible, heartfelt concerns about our children&#039;s economic, intellectual, spiritual future under socialized everything.  You rant that everything normal people have always cared about from time immemorial must be fringe because it&#039;s coming from us, and we are wingnuts, so everything we care about must be wingnuttish, right?  Don&#039;t you see the circular logic here?  Why can&#039;t this conversation happen without devolving to insults?  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Well here&#039;s the memo.  We&#039;re done with all that.  That&#039;s really what the tea parties represent:  The beginning of the end of what little communication now exists between the right and the left.   We are wising up.  Bipartisanship is a fraud.  The left, when in power, will never give an inch or treat any of our concerns as anything more than spin against which they must defend themselves.  From our point of view, it&#039;s like being in one of those movies where the protagonist is muzzled by being falsely accused, and can&#039;t get anybody to listen to his/her warnings of some great impending harm until it actually happens.  But it&#039;s not about spin.  It&#039;s about what it means to be human, to live, to love, to prosper, to be happy.  I would have hoped we could have a civil conversation about things that really matter.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;But no.  ACORN et al want to portray us as an insignificant minority driven by partisanship, greed, and even racism.  Are we paranoid?  Or do we have real enemies?  The evidence of disruptions is already coming in (from Free Republic):&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;•  &quot;VA local radio station that is supporting the Richmond Tea Party is reporting that people have been receiving robo-calls giving an incorrect time (noon) for the Richmond event...&quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;•  At a restaurant called Chiefs Wings and Firewater in Greenville South Carolina, ACORN &quot;representatives&quot; tried to convince management to cancel their tea-party event, and when that failed, they vandalized the restroom, including destruction of flyers for the event and smearing human excrement on the walls.   I personally called this place and verified the event really happened.  The number is 864-288-4177.  The odd thing the woman told me is the vandalism was done in the ladies room.  What&#039;s up with that?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;•  From Michelle Malkin:  &quot;It’s already happened once before — at the Denver anti-porkulus rally last month, when the Media Matters/Daily Kos crowd shifted media attention away from the policy message by manufacturing fake outrage about some stunt-puller who showed up with a sign comparing Obama to Hitler that I didn’t see and asked for a picture. The local newspaper, the Rocky Mountain News, took the bait.&quot;  Like my dad always said, if you want to know what a person is going to do, look at what they&#039;ve already done.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;BTW, I am not with the GOP, as they no longer represent genuine conservative interests.  Get the party stereotype out of your head.  It&#039;s hurting both of us.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;As for someone&#039;s earlier comment questioning the use of anonymity in such movements, it was a routine (and essential) practice for the American revolutionaries of 1776, and as long as the content is good, why does it matter whose name is attached to it?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Tea Party?  Game On.</description>

		<description>&quot;... signatures which they will give to Obama stating that the signatures are in support of his policies or to get the names of people who oppose his policies and report dissention.&quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;They&#039;ll use your names and tell Obama they&#039;re in support of him! Or against him! I don&#039;t know which! But something! Something really bad! AAAAAAAGH!!!!!!</description>

		<description>I have a funny feeling this is a blatant piece of wingnut incitement disinfo from a clever (if amoral) leftwingish type, or just the kind of person who likes rattling the cages of the profoundly undiscerning, wherever they may be found.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Think of it: If what I&#039;m saying is true, this is a brilliant piece of double-duty text: It 1) heightens a disabling sense of paranoia in already a bit far-gone rightwing ideologues, and 2) serves as a target for derision and marginalization (well-nigh to dehumanization) by leftwing types.</description>
