The Freedom Movement is the greatest thing happening on the political landscape

None, I hate hearing about politics and could care less, and don't go all voter apathy on me.

I empathize with you somewhat since I was also totally and utterly apathetic before I heard the message of Ron Paul during his 2008 campaign. When I realized that there is no good reason why I should have to pay an income tax or have my economic destiny controlled by other men, I instantly realized it was correct and took up my intellectual arms. This movement is the cure for political apathy and draws most of its supporters not from the Republican party, but from previously apathetic citizens like myself who could never even force themselves to care about windbags like Obama and McCain. If you are disgusted by politics, this movement is for you!

You're an idiot. Pay your taxes and shut up. Take on worthier causes than calling everyone a socialist.

The intellectual dishonesy and being just plain dumb (most tea-baggers don't pay any income tax-low income people?) is scary. Are all of these people grade school dropouts?

Try to make the distinction between these two statements:

a) "There is NO GOOD REASON WHY WE SHOULD HAVE TO pay income taxes."

b) "We do not have to pay income taxes."

If you cannot handle this simple distinction then you are simply too stupid for me to communicate with.

Sounds like another KKK morph to me.

You are a moron. What iota of a racist thing did he say?

Sig Heil ! Sarah Palin. Our great Aryan leader.

The nativist Tea Party is fighting a losing battle against demographics.

A movement that is openly hostile to anyone not White and Protestant doesn't have much of a future in this country.

Not of that old KKK bitch Sarah Palin. Any bun pics of Palin's skank white daughter !

the anti iraqi war movement was so much larger than this fake tea party stuff, but because of the general support of the war by all media, and the fear of giving the war a negative slant - it got little to no coverage despite the fact that the rallies were 3 times the size of any fake tea party. The march in New York city was probably 10-15 times greater than any "don't tread on me" rally.

it's all about what you cover - you think that what you "see" is what is happening....not true

WTF, you guys are intellectually bankrupt. There was no mention of race or demographics. Apparently we are losing the battle of demographics, because apparently only white protestants like freedom and low taxes.

Sarah Palin is not of the freedom movement (we reject her even if she tries to associate with it) and the charge of racism is simply pitiful - such statements betray the utter intellectual bankruptcy of the left. These spineless liars deserve what they are getting and what they are going to get. It's sad that many of them have kids who will go down with them.

I'm confused as to why the Tea Party movement has met so much animosity. The call from the american public has been, "The political system is broke, the two party system is broke, we need a third party!" Now that a third party is actually gaining some traction, everyone wants to trivialize them by calling them racist?

Their overwhelming message seems to be "less taxes, smaller government, balanced budget". You can disagree with their political philosophy, but simply dismissing them as racists is disingenuous at best.

TP is another Klan spinoff. In the 60s the Dixiecrats cut and run from the Democratic Party to the GOP when LBJ passed the Voting Rights Act. The NEOCONs were the last Klan spinoff. Now it's Nazi Bitch Palin doin physical favors under the white sheets of the Klan.

They are simply exposing their true character. The left has nothing and is totally impotent to bring about any real change or improvement of any kind - all they can do is set up irrelevant comparisons to other failed movements. They rely on disingenuinity, such as meritless charges of racism, to destroy the reputations of those who are truly good.

Again, why is this your thought about them? What, specifically, in their political ideology makes them racist and "Klan" members? All political parties have their ignorant, but that shouldn't take away from the overriding message.

Every 10-20 years the same thing happens, that's why. The racist, secession talk prevails. The Dixiecrats, Reagan, NEOCONs, Ron Paul, now it's Tea Party and their hatred for Mexicans and Blacks. We know what you are about.

I'll take that as a, "I don't have any evidence to support my view, but there's nothing you can say that will change it."

Also, I'm not a Tea Party member, but thanks for assuming that someone who doesn't call them racists must be a member.
