Propaganda and agitation

The political opportunist NEED THE TEA PARTY!!! Without the Tea Party members raging in the streets and SHOUTING SOCIALISTS, they would not have the "agitation" to work hand-in-hand with their propaganda.

bottom line: We are being played like a fiddle.

Note: Of course if there were no Tea Party groups, they would create some other group to be the "agitation" they need.

Sorry..this race baiting is not going to work. The TEA party is not about race, it’s a peacful movement about freedom for all people across the globe. Get a life and join the free human race, you have more oportunity here as a minority member than any other nation on earth.

Fed by a national negative media frenzy, law enforcement created a brutal covert and overt crackdown that included killings, beatings, arrests and destruction of character and property. These actions created a fear that shut down many groups.

Not true. Read David Horowitz's chapter on Black Panther thugs. They brought the crackdown on themselves by their murderous activities.

I think the issue is real simple.

If you support a Federal government exercising the powers delegated to it under the Constitution and no others, you are an American.

Otherwise, whatever you may be, you are not an American.

Here’s my response to his column on the original website. I suggest we flood this racist fool with as many letters of disgust as we can. Anyway, I wrote:

>>>You wrote: “These people operate out of the same warped logic that allowed their mostly Christian forebears to practice genocide across the Americas, create and operate the Trans-Atlantic African Slave Trade, and discriminate against non-white people the world over.”

Christians were the first people in the history of the world to organize and try and stop slavery. They were disgusted with the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade and worked for more than a century to stop it. Most of the world for most of history accepted slavery as normal.

The Abolisionists were motived by Christianity in their efforts to get rid of slavery in the United States and other Western cultures. You should read what they said at the time, and find out who they were.

The rest of the column is “twisted logic,” indeed.

I can only tell by the choice of words here, but the writer appears to be a hate-filled, racist man, stuffed with selective bile about his own culture and background, disgusted with his neighbors and, apparently, anyone who has less skin pigment than he has. He’s a classic loudmouth bigot, with a short fuse and a narrow worldview. He has my sincere pity.<<<

And if he finds out I’m a Jew... well, I can see the veins popping out on his forehead right now.

Yep, the writer is an un-American socialist communist. Get the heck out of my country. Any further questions?

Interesting sidenote about his article. I read it this morning and wrote a response at the South Florida Times. There hasn’t been a single response since. I assume that the newspaper just shut down the response section - I find it hard to believe only seven people responded.

Just more proof about the openminded diversity of liberal thought.

When columnists rant and rave about evidently false claims of harassment by Tea Partiers towards corrupt members Democrats, and inflate and distort the past and its connections to the events of today, one can only conclude that they haven’t either a grasp of the facts, or are convinced that their audience also lacks that grasp. Fortunately, a new phenomenon it taking over, the citizens of this country know more than those who purport to report the news. We all watch as the media dinosaur’s death stuggle in the tar pits of their own ignorance.

SNIPPET from post no. 1:

“...organizations appealed publicly for social justice, they were soundly denounced...”
