No worries, Mike.

I was responding more to the blatant double standard that flcouple is trying to apply. I suppose I should have mentioned that there were more than just Repubs out there protesting...


looks around double standard.  where?    Let me break this down into small words for you.

If you voice support for a group (Such as the Tea Bags) and part of the group behaves in that manner and you don't speak out against it, you are just as guilty as those who did it.

I don't care what the group is.  There are groups I would never support because of some of the antics of members.

So before you start tossing around statements like "blatant double standards"  please check facts.

I know there are several around here who never have a care for any facts, but I always thought better of you than that.




See that is where I am included in your net. I have attended and support the majority of the ground swell from the tea party movement. There are some asshats that have tried to show up at various events, but I cannot be responsible for denouncing every idiot that shows up at each and every event. Much like I can be seen as condoning such behaviour because I don't condemn eash of the incidents.

I didn't like alot of the outlandish claims against our now President with the far fetched guilt by association (or support from) with particular groups (The New Black Panthers, Nation of Islam, etc...). It took how long for then Sen. Obama to condemn 20 years of hate filled rhetoric from the pastor of his now former church? Mentioned just to make the point, about not every slight or lack of condemnation means that the associated person condones the behaviour or message of those that condemn themselves by their own words.

You don't think there is a double standard (right and left sides of the pollitical spectrum) when it comes to holding people accountable for incidents like this?

I love the tea party. Anyone who bows down to this is incredibly gullible and does not recognize the repercussions of doing so. This is not a group of independents or moderates voicing disdain over the bailout or "Obamacare."

This a conservative movement and it will splinter the party if left to continue in it's current state. Just look at the crowd, their key note speakers and the way they behave towards liberals in lieu of conservatives.

God Bless the tea party may they stay a force for just a few more years....Please.

I personally do not have one.  There are groups that while I might agree with I will not support because of the actions of some of the members.

A lone nut here and there no, but events like happened this weekend or just too much they have to be spoken against.  I have for awhile had that queasy feeling that the Republicans claim oh that is horrible, wink wink nudge nudge.  These whole events are shoving me from my perch in the middle that I have long sat upon towards the left.

I would suspect such things would push you further towards the middle. As I stated earlier there is no video or sound evidence of a very well covered protest that supports the racial shouting. I did see the video of Rep. Cleaver reacting to the asshat that spit at or on him, this behavior (spitting) is not acceptabe anywhere (well maybe at some fetish thing). Some folks have claimed that the only reason this bill and agenda is being protested is because it is the agenda of a black man, and then further feed into that myth by magnifying the odd lone nutjob to represent the entire group of folks opposed to the bill. Know what I mean?

Neither side or party is full of saints, and both sides have their own extreme whackjobs. I choose to try and not label the entire group because of the actions of a few.

Have a great evening.

Well it's good to see you're keeping an open mind. Should I judge all nurses by your actions? Because I have to say, I know quite a few and they don't seem to be judgmental at all. Maybe you're special
