Let me preface this by saying I’m not defending the GOP establishment.
You know what’s really “shameful” and “appalling”?… all of the people who sit idle and just go along with our wise, esteemed, overlords in Washington. Dissent and revolution are very American… “shouting” included.
Oh boo hoo hoo, they called the Untouchable Messiah a “Marxist”. Last time I checked, the 1st amendment sufficiently protects this speech.
Sometimes when you live in a representative republic like America, you need to speak up a little louder if your “representatives” act as if they don’t hear you.
This article is a piece of biased, pro-totalitarian, shit designed to paint anyone who disagrees with Lord Obama as some kind of backward lunatic.
I wonder what you think of Obama’s expansion of the wars and all the private contractors and mercenary forces he’s sent over there. His foreign policy is like Bush 2.0.
Hate to break it to you, Sue, but the reason why those “Tea Baggers” chose Chairman Mao in their posters is because Obama’s Communications Director (Anita Dunn) announced in a high school graduation ceremony speech this past June that Mao Zedong was one of her “favorite philosophers”.
So let me get this straight… Mao Zedong posters are offensive, but Obama hiring an individual who finds Chairman Mao to be an inspiration is completely acceptable.
Since you obviously find Chairman Mao to be offensive, perhaps we should remind the rest of your readers of exactly how you and I came to this conclusion: His direct responsibility for the mass-murder of anywhere between 40-70 million Chinese people, including his own soldiers.
By the way, a journalistic tip…if I may: Attacking someone’s fake tan or simple mistake in the pledge of allegiance simply implies that you cannot win the argument on merit and must resort to petty complaints that have absolutely nothing to do with the subject at hand. Write an article as to why the current plan is great, and why the alternative isn’t.
Obviously, this is way, way too much to ask.
Well said CW.
With words like teabagger and “offensive” strewn about like so many Obama nuzzling streamers, it’s easy to see the bias in this opinion *piece*.
What about the liberal “patriots” that tried to lynch Lieberman? You’re right, they’re freedom fighters.
Why is it that Obama completely owns 2 (arguably 3) branches of government and he can’t pass his pet bills? Even some Democrats can smell the stink coming off that healthcare steamer.
To be honest, Democrats should be the *most* upset. You voted for him and he has delivered nothing but excuses blaming Bush (now 10 months out of office). Where’s your outrage at him? As long as MSNBC likes him, I guess, lol.
Also, how dare someone carry “offensive” signs referring to the president. That’s something new this year. Never saw that during the last president’s terms. Nope, not at all.
When many of us exercised our right of free speech by protesting the trumped up and illegal Iraq War we were called terrorist lovers, appeasers, unpatriotic, anti-American, etc, by the Bushies. Despite all of these ridiculous tea parties the past few months I have not heard slurs hurled at these protesters by the Obama administration. So, CW, your criticism of Obama is as misplaced as that of the tea partiers.
Clearly Rep Bachmann should be arrested and taken to a Psychiatric hospital until such time that she is fit to stand trial for inciting a riot (if ever). Last I checked inciting a riot is not covered under the first amendment. The only reason she’s free is political: when the other side is self destructing you stay out of the way.
She should be careful what she wishes for; Revolution is not such a good thing when it’s waged against you.
Dissent does not include the ‘right’ to disrupt the PEOPLE’S business nor undo elections with false charges.
As for totalitarianism, I suggest your outrage would be more believable if you had been picketing Bush during his “First Amendment Zone” days of illegal detention of LEGITIMATE picketers against his war crime.
But you didn’t, I assume, and that clearly proves your real agenda is keeping Americans from getting the health care most of these teabaggers, who are over 65, are already getting.
MEDICARE FOR ALL is the only decent plan. Simple, easy to remember.
Well Joey, republican Lee Atwater was the first to say Mao & Mother Theresa were his “idols” and just like Atwater….Anita Dunn was trying to point out the choices one has to make when one “supports” these kinds of ideologies. In other words, you can choose to go the route of Mao or you can choose the route of Mother Theresa. Get it moron? Oh wait! You’re a Glenn Beck supporter who has an IQ of 57 and don’t have the ability to think things through! Glenn likes it that way. He knows his base doesn’t understand irony, sarcasm, or humor because cannonballs don’t have this ability!
Get your facts straight, please, and stop spreading Beck’s hate, division, and strife…you know….the guy who says he’s open to others but who spends his days bashing all political thoughts in support of fascist capitalism!
One big $cam. For every Dollar the AFP takes in, .25 cents goes to “signs and bus rides”. The other .75 cents goes into Dick Armey, Michelle Bachman and the rests pockets. This is a business and the rubes and suckers who fork over their cash are willing to do so in order to get and give a good show.
Are you sure Rep. Todd Akin botched the wording of the Pledge of Allegiance, or was he conditioning the crowd for the possibility of secession?

The American people have been trying to tell Obama, his cronies and congress for several months, and in any means possible, that they don’t want health care reform being crammed down our throat. Particularly government controlled health care. At this point our representatives in Washington are merely puppets for Obama, Reid and Pelosi.
We learned today that unemployment has exceeded 10%, while most areas of our economy is in the tank. The American people want their leaders to fix the economy and create jobs before anything else. Our leadership is obviously mis-directed, spending their time and our resources on their agenda, not ours.
As to the AFP, what is the difference between what they do and what the Obama and government supported ACORN has done during rallies and election fraud?
The American people want their leaders to fix the economy and create jobs before anything else. This is very justified sentence! Then the American people prefer to stay in American steel buildings.These buildings ensure the safety and sturdiness.
There is something very wrong with a political movement that will support blindly the idea of spending our nations treasure in money and blood to occupy a sovereign nation based upon a campaign of lies, but while rise up in arms against the idea of living in a country where every person might have access to health care.
Ok, let me pick – Do I want an administration that knowingly and willfully lied to Congress, The United Nations, the American people, the American armed forces, and the entire world population in a prolonged campaign to create the justification for invading a sovereign nation in order to get access to it’s oilfields?
Or do I want an administration that has the audacity to suggest that our treasure would be better spent caring for our own people and giving even the least among us the opportunity to receive health care like citizens of less advanced nations have?
The tea party organizers might as well hand out signs that say “I’m a completely ignorant fool who wants brave Americans to die to defend my right to be an ignorant fool”.
or “I have health insurance and anybody who doesn’t deserves to suffer and die, but I don’t mind paying to send our brave soldiers to die for Bush’s lies”.
These people can’t be reasoned with. They would come out against ANYTHING that Obama was for, so there’s no use debating them. Let them wave their signs and let’s just ignore them. One day they’ll be without health insurance and we can just let them rot in the streets.

It amazes me that after only 2 years, that the American voters are so close to again putting Republicans back in control. I tell myself that Americans just aren’t really paying attention right now for come to a realization of what they’re doing. Surely, once they remember the last time Republicans controlled Congress, and once they take a look at the field of candidates that are coming in for the Republican nominations.
By allowing the Republicans to control both houses of Congress; the House of Representatives and the Senate; we would insure; gridlock; maybe another war; huge tax cuts and deregulation for big businesses which won’t pass President Obama’s desk without a veto; probably an impeachment trial because Republicans have a deep seated hatred for this president and they will use whatever they can to get him out of the White House.

Michele Bachmann disgusts me. She is as hate-filled as Sarah Palin and every bit as stupid.
The people who support her must be miserable human beings indeed.
