What I want to know is where was the “Tea Party” before Obama? I guess everything was cool during the president Cheney years? No problems at all, right?
Let’s not forget the incredible support this “independant, grassroots political movement” got from FOX news.
To me their motives are even more transparent the when McCain picked Palin of all people to be his running mate.
What a bunch of B.S.

Wow, David Ferguson, freakin’ out over here! I’m not sure what all the personal attacks are about–I never claimed to be “greater” or more knowledgeable than anyone else. But when on your own site you claim that your movement is one of ‘Republicans, Democrats and independents” and then you come on here and boast about how your trying to elect Republicans exclusively, it doesn’t take a genius to figure out that a. your site is, to put it politely, disingenuous and b.you’re a Republican shill. Now, there’s nothing necessarily wrong with being a Republican shill–I’m sure you have what you consider to be good reasons for supporting a party and a philosophy that’s done incalculable damage to this country for the last 30 years. But don’t pretend that you have some kind of broad-based independent movement or that you want anything different from what Republicans always want. Sorry if that hurts your feelings, but if you’re looking for uncritical affirmation, maybe you should confine your comments to forums for bitter old white people who think that they’re the only ones who are entitled to government largesse.

Well, I gotta hand it to you, it only took a couple of days to pass a Joint Resolution to Authorize the Use of United States Armed Forces Against Iraq in 2002, which, of course was based on lies about weapons of mass destruction.

“It’s not an issue of “free speech.” It’s an issue of “honesty.”

Can’t get more honest than Nancy “We’ve got to pass it so we can know what’s in it…” Pelosi…

You can always tell a democrat by the vitriol dripping from their lips…

@Mike Peterson
“why do Glenn McCoy, Lisa Benson, Gary Varvel and Mike Lester get published in the “MSM” while Ted Rall, Matt Bors and Jen Sorensen”

Maybe because they suck?

“It’s not an issue of “free speech.” It’s an issue of “honesty.” Stop looking for commies under your bed and start looking for liars in your own ranks.”

While you’re looking, start looking for some solutions to the problems this country is facing. I can’t remember the last time “conservatives” actually offered a solution to something they were upset about.

Larry, nobody is trying to take away conservative voices. They’re just asking conservatives to stop lying.

You own the freakin’ media — otherwise, why do Glenn McCoy, Lisa Benson, Gary Varvel and Mike Lester get published in the “MSM” while Ted Rall, Matt Bors and Jen Sorensen are relegated to “alternative media”???? (I say this with all due respect to those cartoonists.)

And, specific to this, why do conservatives lie about the Tea Party Movement and pretend that it is (A) grassroots and (B) non-partisan, and then turn around and produce “official” Tea Party gear that is specifically intended to promote Republican candidates and defeat Democrats?

It’s not an issue of “free speech.” It’s an issue of “honesty.” Stop looking for commies under your bed and start looking for liars in your own ranks.

Stay strong David. Freedom of speech applies to everyone, even those from the left who are blinded by Hope and Change rhetoric compared to factual-based reality.
