On Sunday's Face the Nation on CBS, host Bob Schieffer asked columnist Kathleen Parker about her views on the tea party: "the rhetoric that's coming out from the right side, especially from the tea party....you think it may be dangerous." Parker replied: "this heated rhetoric and some of these words...that are pretty loaded, 'reload,' 'targeting'...there's a danger there."

Parker, syndicated with the Washington Post Writers Group, claimed she was not casting negative aspersions on the whole political movement: "I'm not saying the tea party people are violent or racist or any of that....I'm not saying that the tea partiers are bad people or dangerous," but warned: "I just think we have to be very vigilant....and be extremely careful, because I do think there is a lot of anger and it could become something else."

The campaign to link the tea party with terrorism is in full swing with no response from the Republicans. Republicans should have an immediate response: “Yes, let’s do talk about real domestic terrorists. How can President Obama consider Bill Ayers a close friend given his history of violence against people and the government? How could Bill Clinton pardon the Puerto Rico terrorists? There is no evidence any Tea Party participant has committed violence so let’s talk about the real domestic terrorists”

Did someone read her column at the bottom of a bird cage or when they were wrapping garbage?

KP misses the bad old days, when 20 or so members of the elite MSM filtered the news for the plebes.

Parker, syndicated with the Washington Post Writers Group, claimed she was not casting negative aspersions...

I suppose she only casts positive aspersions...

These people are "professional journalists". Sheesh.

The Polish underground press drew on experiences of Second World War veterans of Armia Krajowa and much attention was paid to conspiracy; however, after martial law in Poland and the government crackdown on Solidarity, the activities of underground publishing were significantly curtailed for several years following. However, with the communist government losing power in the second half of the 1980s, production of Polish underground printing (in Poland known as bibuła) dramatically increased and many publications were distributed throughout the entire country. After the Autumn of Nations in 1989 some of the underground publishers transformed into regular and legal publishing houses. There were important differences of scale between Polish underground publishing and the samizdats of the Soviet Union, Hungary, Czechoslovakia, and other countries in the Soviet-bloc. In the 1980s, at any given time there were around one hundred independent publishers in Poland who formed an extremely interesting institution of an underground market. Books were sold through underground distribution channels to paying customers, including the top communist leaders.[citation needed] Among a few hundred periodicals, the "Tygodnik Mazowsze" weekly reached an average circulation of 60,000 - 80,000, copies, while some issues topped 100,000. The estimated production of books and thick journals can be put close to one thousand per year and more than one million copies. Other products on this market included cassettes, videocassettes, postcards, stamps, and calendars. [edit] External links

Where there is a will, there is a way.

We WILL toppple the Government-Media Complex in the United States, of which this Kathleen Parker is highly representative.

We are the true heirs to "Solidarity" in Liberated Poland.

They will be defeated. The People are rising up. We will prevail.
