3. It's so odd that a moment that makes me cry with joy...
...every time I think about it (let alone watch it) can inspire such hatred in others.

And why? Just because the color of his skin?

Sad.

6. You couldn't be more right.
Compare this (my daughter is somewhere in this crowd):

with the coverage you saw of the "tea wakes" today.

12. Sorry, but this is a pantload.
I'm surrounded by RWers all day at work, and they screamed bloody murder at Bush's spending, too. If someone had organized tea parties back then, these guys all would have attended.

I live in Maryland but spend most of my time in VA. In VA, almost everyone I know is a RWer, and believe me, the bailouts / spending are a major problem for these people, and they all think taxes are too high. Like their opinion on Obama's tax cuts, they thought Bush's cuts were too low, too.

You're right that they hate Obama, but I remain convinced that for most RWers the tea parties are exactly what they claim they are.

14. If that's a serious question, I'll let
someone else explain the symbolism to you. These guys are pissed off at bailouts and high government spending, they're not saying that we should have no government at all. In some cases, I actually agree with them on the bailouts.

16. You approved of Wall Street bailouts?
Every RWer I know was against them, as am I.

17. That's the problem
Both parties, aided by the M$M, are in a mad scramble to convince us we're divided on these issues. We're not. Like you, I'm surrounded by RWers who are just as pissed about the bailouts as they were about BushInc's war spending.

Everything is upside down.

19. Hell no!
I did not ever approve of bailouts, but bushitlers aren't going to hide behind that either. They were ballbagging yesterday no? So what the fuck, I think they are skitzoid.
