According to some The Tea Partiers were...

[FaithInOne]

Racist
Unhealthy
Average age 72.4
Low Turnout
Disgraceful
Shameful
Only about taxes, which "almost everyone there will be getting a tax cut" :rollin

These outright lies by top dems. Why lie about something you are not afraid of. I do not understand this?

When people were there and saw them with their own eyes, then they see you lie right to their face about it, that does not make friends. In fact, it rubs many people the wrong way.

And then when you outright lie to them, when stuffing your pockets while holding the reins to the country, that really rubs people the wrong way.

If caterpillar torture is a recruiting tool for muslim extremists, I'm beginning to wonder what effect this will have...

[jman3000]

I actually went to one and I'd only agree with 1 of those 6... I'd throw in "aimless" though.

[jman3000]

I don't think they were racist... but I've honestly never seen such a homogeneous crowd of white people gathered in San Antonio in my life... and I've been to Spurs games, Fiesta events, and gun shows.

[ChumpDumper]

Which "top dems" were those?

[MiamiHeat]

why didn't they have these tea parties back in nov or dec?

obama been in office only 3 months.

bush had 8 years and started this whole mess.

i will tell you why. because republican think tanks have started planning on how to start tarnishing obama and this is one part of the plan. start blaming him for the economic problems.

afraid of what? Hey McFly the Dems are running this country and you think a tea bag party is going to scare them? Why should they be worried? None of the people at any of the parties would EVER vote for a dem anyway.

The Republican party has done a terrible job, IMO, of attracting minorities. They definitely need PR work. Couple this with a very unpopular war, a very unpopular incumbent president, and a crashing economy, and it's quite clear why the Dems have had such success across the board.

I would agree that there were some wackos amongst the tea party goers, some holding very distasteful signs. But there are bad apples on the right and on the left. It's not like we haven't seen distasteful signs about Bush.

Now this is true! Nut jobs on both sides.

You obviously don't pay taxes, or you would know the significance of 4/15. You must be one of the freeloaders from the $10+ per hour I pay in taxes.

and this stupid jackass used the Hindu form of the swastika. i thought the left were filled with intellects....... looks like they're also KISS fans.

[boutons_deux]

"a(Adolph's swastika)chroft" would have been much less legible

That's a double lightning bolt, b_d.
