    Lefties, and violence....

    More lefties, using violance and threats...

    Rude for Reid - WSJ.com

    Saturday's Tea Party Express event in the hometown of Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid was downplayed by much of the media -- perhaps because the only incidents of violent behavior among the large crowd seemed to come from angry supporters of Mr. Reid. Following a week in which charges and countercharges about which side in the health care debate has engaged in more objectionable rhetoric, the media's treatment of the Tea Party event in Searchlight, Nev. was curious.

    CNN's Fredricka Whitfield certainly didn't think the crowd was worth much of a mention, estimating that only "hundreds of people, at least dozens of people," turned out for it. By contrast, Politco.com concluded that the event drew "as estimated 20,000 Tea Partiers" to a windswept desert lot.

    Andrew Breitbart, the conservative Internet entrepreneur who was one of several speakers at the rally, says the crowd was large enough that it raised the ire of local Reid supporters. He noticed one man holding a sign directing Tea Parties in the wrong direction. When Mr. Breitbart approached to chat with the Reid supporters, he saw several throwing eggs at the Tea Party Express buses. The protesters, he says, quickly surrounded him, including one who declared: "I'm going to have to go to jail today if this guy [Breitbart] doesn't leave."

    "It's unsettling to see them use threats and provocation like this," he told me. He was especially peeved at what he witnessed given what he said were the unconfirmed accusations hurled at Tea Party protestors last week in Washington, including that some had used ugly and violent language against members of the Congressional Black Caucus. On stage at the Searchlight event, Mr. Breitbart offered to donate $100,000 to charity if anyone could provide video evidence that racial epithets were used against CBC members. Mr. Breitbart says he suspects the accusations were just a cynical attempt by the left and elements of the media to "marginalize" the Tea Party movement.
    “Are vital U.S. interests more imperiled by what happens in Iraq where were have 50,000 troops, or Afghanistan where we have 100,000, or South Korea where we have 28,000 -- or by what is happening on our border with Mexico?...What does it profit America if we save Anbar and lose Arizona?”

    This story is such obvious bullshit . Breitbart is famous for making shit up and and reporting phony situations like the Acorn "pimp" scam
    ACORN tape fraud: Does Andrew Breitbart care? - War Room - Salon.com
    If this really happened , I hope h has it recorded. Oh yeah, he could fake that to.
    Besides, throwing a couple eggs isn't nearly as bad as killing cops and then their mourners like the righties like to do.

    Not as it was purported . Read the link and find out . Breitbart was scammed as well it seems.
    From the link I supplied that you probably did not read:
    Yesterday, the Brooklyn district attorney announced the local ACORN office there hadn't engaged in any criminal conduct -- despite the hyperventilating by Breitbart and on Fox News. And in fact, a law enforcement source told the New York Daily News, the hidden-camera tapes James O'Keefe and Hannah Giles made of themselves posing as a prostitute and her boyfriend were "edited to meet their agenda."

    Yep. We'll see if this gets any play as well. Man arrested for Eric Cantor death threat - Jake Sherman - POLITICO.com

    Thankfully the Republicans don't stoop to the silly false outrage the libs in both the Congress and the media generate - "It took 24hrs for the Republicans to denounce this...". It really isn't a matter of considering to stoop, and then not. That crap just doesn't occur to normal people.

    Re: Lefties, and violence....

    Maharashi complains that the ACORN video scam didn't happen as Breitbart reported and uses a link to Salon magazine to support his statement. You've gotta love it. Then he proceeds to say "righties" like to kill police officers and their families and links to a report of something that never happened. But, according to Maharishi's standards, I would never expect to see him cite The New York Times for anything.

    Ok, when the left fills a trailer truck with anfo and detonates it in the middle of an American city (as right wing wackos have done) then maybe you'll have a case.

    In the mean time, the journalistic integrity of the right is being exposed here, your little photo essay on the StormFront/Teaparty/PAlin 2012 rally seems to confirm "hundreds or dozens" estimates rather than the "20,000"

    The photoessay on the "Leftist" rally included a lot of right wing wacko causes, I'm not sure I'd classify that as a "Leftist" rally.
    More like a lunatic fringe rally.


    And you gotta love the "Fuck Capitalism" t-shirts, for $15.............

    It is not applicable today because our country is totally divided among at least three groups, the progressives who want to make this country a better place to live, the politically middle of the voters who are whipsawed back and forth between right and left wing ideologies, and the right wingers who call themselves christians which they are not and who call themselves conservatives which they are not.

    Basically, the middle of the political spectrum voters are easily divided by wedge issues such as religion and abortions, gays, guns, and whether they have jobs and opportunities or not. There are NO conservatives in this country. Both parties spend money like they are drunken sailors instead of respecting our tax dollars they are entrusted with. For examples: bush and republicans gave the rich tax cuts and gave us a couple of hundred dollars, started a war to enrich the oil companies and the military industrial complex and sent american jobs and factories to communist china to enrich wal mart and other suppliers and put americans out of work. They took a surplus and created a huge deficit.

    obama and the democrats are no better. They gave hundreds of billions to bankers and stock brokers and AIG at the bottom of the stock market plunge to 7000 at no interest, no collateral and no equity so bankers and stock brokers could invest our tax dollars, raise the market to 10,000, sell the stock repay the loan and pocket the profits.

    The phony "conservatives" are not christian when they are racists and want to heap a guilt trip on a girl stopping two cells from dividing and calling her and a doctor "murdering a baby." They are not christian when they violate the US Constitution and give billions of dollars each year to the jews in palestine to kill muslims and to faith based organizations to enrich themselves. They are not christians when they LIE to start wars in Iraq to steal oil.

    I rarely watch any of Olberman's show, but I overheard him saying that the Nevada Tea Party crowd was only 9,000 people as if that's a small number of people to get together.....in the middle of a freaking desert.

    People need to stop belittling the stature of the Tea Party movement and conversely, people need to stop exaggerating the stature of the Tea Party movement. It's neither a side show or a sleeping giant.....it's a bunch of people who have gathered to air a myriad of grievances about the government.

    I think the tea party folks have a right to be angry and want to throw all the bums out who are in washington stealing our tax dollars for themselves and their buddies.

    The problem the tea party has is that they have too many right wing nuts who are racists, pretend christians like sarah palin, too many phony conservatives like republicans who are anything but conservative with our money. They steal it faster than the democrats.

    The only solution is to vote every last politician out of office to send a message. This will not happen though because everyone loves their own politician and their own party.
