Default Yep!!

I find it very difficult to take people seriously who only now chose to "wake up" for pure partisian reasons.

These folks chose to be asleep the entire time Bush was raping our country and now they wake up.

For what reason...their party?

There's no good reason not to take it with some measure of skepticism. Still, that a lot of formerly apathetic people are now taking to the streets is an interesting development.

Don't worry, we'll be just as welcoming to newly awakened liberals when Obama's massive spending plans destroy the dollar, create double or even triple-digit inflation and send unemployment up to 25% or more.

In these sorts of times, old parties die and new parties are formed. That might be why the GOP is trying to back what was a grassroots effort - they see the seeds of their own demise. Of course, that's just speculation.

apparently i am misinformed

please show me where they condemn the rich

now, i have seen comments where they have condemned other rich people for their actions, and inactions ... but i do not recall seeing much in the way of rich folks criticising other rich people only because they have amassed wealth

i look forward to your overcoming this one aspect of my ignorance in these matters

It's an old one, the better modern description is Lear Jet Liberals.

And for that reason you feel it is okay for you to stand by while Obama is raping our country, because they did it first. Gotcha!

Default The Janeane Garofalo of academia

The Janeane Garofalo of academia

By Michelle Malkin • April 19, 2009 10:09 AM
It’s one thing for Hollywood twit Janeane Garofalo to smear the Tea Party movement as RAAAAACIST. We expect ignorant celebrities to be ignorant. But when newspapers phone up “experts” in academia to provide commentary and analysis on social and political trends, it would be nice if they based their assessments on reality, wouldn’t it?
In the Christian Science Monitor today, one professor of emeritus plays the Janeane Garofalo of academia:
Quote:
Jeffrey Kimball, a professor emeritus of history at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio, says the protesters seemed to represent the most extreme adherents of American conservatism, hardly representative of the average American.
“We may have just seen the whole movement” at these protests, says Mr. Kimball. “I don’t see it as a groundswell, but a manifestation by those people who form the core of … the extreme right reacting both to the condition of our time and President Obama – he’s black and he’s liberal.
Where’s my cluebat?

California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger booed at Sacramento Tea Party: White and Republican.

California GOP chairman Ron Nehring booed at Sacramento Tea Party: White and Republican.

Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman, Sens. Orrin Hatch, and Bob Bennett all booed at Salt Lake City Tea Party: White and Republican.

Rep. Gresham Barrett booed at Greenville SC Tea Party: White and Republican.

Reality doesn’t fit Hollywood’s narrative — or left-wing academia’s. Must be lovely to live life immunized from the truth.
