What you call smear, we see as putting the event and its organizer in proper perspective.



:2funny::2funny:


Damn, son, sometimes you say the funniest things...

Yep, notice all those political signs in the crowd? The gall of any American to show up on their own at the Lincoln Memorial to show their love and respect for this country. How dare these people become active in a positive manner!

Good facts, and don't forgot Lincoln GOP. That is what really confuses me now, the party that freed the slaves and voted for civil rights is now labeled as a party with bigots.

I hope you're being sarcastic and just pointing out the stupidity of Prof's post.

No doubt in the 50 and 60's the southern dems were bigots, now the dem party is the party of minorities. Almost like the earth changing is polarity?

Not almost, that's exactly what happened.

That's what makes Prof's post such an embarrassing joke -- it's like he's totally unaware that the 1960s dems were a different party. The Prof apparently didn't take U.S. History.

]That being said, can we really say that parties don't change? e.g. 50's and 60's, the dems were the war mongers? Chicago PD/Dem Daley beats protesters up @ the 68 dem convention.

More facts Prof apparently didn't know.

Great post. The Prof needs to back to school.
 
The majority of Americans were and are against the healthcare Obamacare bill...it's not even implemented yet, so that doesn't count as it could be a complete failure.

So we have that and tap water???...I'm sure some conservative would have come up with clean tap water if a "progressive' wouldn't have. Maybe they should stick to tap water.

"A Day in the Life of Joe Middle-Class Republican"

Joe gets up at 6:00am to prepare his morning coffee. He fills his pot full of good clean drinking water because some liberal fought for minimum water quality standards. He takes his daily medication with his first swallow of coffee. His medications are safe to take because some liberal fought to insure their safety and work as advertised.

All but $10.00 of his medications are paid for by his employers medical plan because some liberal union workers fought their employers for paid medical insurance, now Joe gets it too. He prepares his morning breakfast, bacon and eggs this day. Joe’s bacon is safe to eat because some liberal fought for laws to regulate the meat packing industry.

Joe takes his morning shower reaching for his shampoo; His bottle is properly labeled with every ingredient and the amount of its contents because some liberal fought for his right to know what he was putting on his body and how much it contained. Joe dresses, walks outside and takes a deep breath. The air he breathes is clean because some tree hugging liberal fought for laws to stop industries from polluting our air. He walks to the subway station for his government subsidized ride to work; it saves him considerable money in parking and transportation fees. You see, some liberal fought for affordable public transportation, which gives everyone the opportunity to be a contributor.

Joe begins his work day; he has a good job with excellent pay, medicals benefits, retirement, paid holidays and vacation because some liberal union members fought and died for these working standards. Joe’s employer pays these standards because Joe’s employer doesn’t want his employees to call the union. If Joe is hurt on the job or becomes unemployed he’ll get a worker compensation or unemployment check because some liberal didn’t think he should loose his home because of his temporary misfortune....

Thom Hartmann: Day in the Life of Joe Middle-Class Republican | Video Cafe

Tell us what guarantees Joe "Founder" had in creating this country and our Constitution? Did our Founders have "excellent pay, medical benefits, retirement income, paid holidays, unions, and vacations?" Did our Founders believe in the current 3.8 trillion dollar Federal govt? Did our Founders believe in personal responsibility?

Oh, what a distance we have come today and how poorly educated many people are when it comes to the basic principles upon which this country was founded!

Interesting how today liberals believe people are owed a job for life, they are owed all these benefits, and they are owed getting paid first withouth any monetary investment in the business. The corner market owner, dry cleaner, drug store, hardware store owner, etc. has to pay for these expenses and they simply cannot do it yet that is ok to these so called progressives.

I am convinced that "feel good" rhetoric trumps history, economics, and civics.

Let me let you in on a little secret, when liberalism runs these small businesses out of business there will be no one left to fund all these programs that so called progressives promote.

This country was built on equal opportunity, not equal outcome. Businesses are in business to make a profit, not to employ people for life. When I read comments on this board I fear for our country because now equal outcome means redistribution of wealth and a guaranteed job for life and none of that was ever guaranteed by our Founders.

Oh, my!! The Horror of it all! What? No one demanding that the govt. provide them with anything? What is this Faith, Hope, and Charity "thing?"

Where is my govt. handout? Oh, wait, my taxdollars paying for what I need? Why don't I just keep it and spend it on what I need? No, that would be unfair to others and after all it is all about fairness. I am obviously not paying my "fair share" to others whereas the 47% that don't pay any Federal Income taxes obviously are. Wonder why it is that liberals never define "fair share?"
 
To hear Sarah Palin say the words "All men are created equal" is just sickening. Yes Sarah to you all men are created equal except gays and muslims right?
 
since the 60's, it may be true, the dems have begun to catch up with the gop on civil rights

but the legacy of the party of jackson, polk and wilson on questions of race is shameful

live with it

Not to be disrespectful to any group, but either one of two things is happening here, the first I will give the TP the benefit of the doubt, they want to change America in a positive manner, and they know that hate mongering has only polarized the GOP, and they may want to to sit down and compromise instead of saying, "Our way, or up your A%^!" (Not to say that this is NOT the way the Dems are running the gov't because that is what is happening now).

The second is a little more sarcastic (sic) and usually comes from conspiracy theories, and the TP are wolves in sheep's clothing, and they want to con the public into believing that they are really nice people, so they can gain trust and power and more votes, so they can say "Our way, or up your A&*!"

Just a thought, but a lot of the same people where waving signs, spreading hate, and blasting those who had voted for Healthcare. So, I have to wait to see what their intentions are going to be. One thing I understand is that conservatives don't change overnight.

I have to remember many of these same TPer's blasted the protesters in AZ on 7-29, when they protested SB 1070. Leaving me to believe that when they want to protest it is okay for them to excerise their rights (which it is). BUT, if latinos or anglos want to protest they feel they are the scum of the earth.
 
shirley sherrod, for example, was forced to pull over on the freeway and quit NOW cuz the white house was scared she'd appear on beck

it's all about integrity

You don't have a problem with those Protesting the Arizona bill mischaracterizing what was in that bill with many of those protesters not even reading the bill? Protesting apparently is only a good thing when done by the left but when the right protests or points out the lies from the left it is called hate speech?
 
Talking about equality... and not following through on it is a problem.

What rights aren't being given to Muslims, gays, or any other fringe group you want to identify? Seems to me you really don't understand equality
 
Incorrect -- they didn't employ 1M people. And weren't some of those buy-outs.



What far-rightie-philes forget is W. would have done the same thing. What was the better plan from the right to deal with GM, Chrysler, and AIG. Same thing, just less transparent, more corrupt.

So the criteria is not whether or not these bailouts are useful, but how many people they employ?

Cars would not stop being manufactured so people would still be employed in the automobile industry. Only the poorly managed companies would fail, as is to be expected in the real world.

What George Bush may or may not have done is irrelevent though, even if he did, it still wouldn't make it right.

She's against repealing DADT which is discrminatory.

She's against same sex marriage which is discriminatory.

She attempted to amend the state constitution to deny same sex couples state benefits. Which is discrminiatory.
 

What? You mean it takes 60 votes to get anything passed in the Senate? That must have just changed because GW Bush destroyed this economy all by himself! He obviously didn't need the Democrat Congress support from January 2007 to the end of his term or the Democrat Controlled House in 2006 to the end of his tem.

So, the GOP is a model of civil rights? Please share the record of the GOP since 1970 that shows that the party of Beck, Palin, Bush, Chenney, Hannity, Limbaugh, AZ gov Brewer, AZ state senator Pearce, Sheriff Joe, are beacons of life and liberty for all, please share. You really think that the GB admin was an example of protecting civil rights?
 
Beck, Palin, Bush, Chenney, Hannity, Limbaugh, AZ gov Brewer, AZ state senator Pearce, Sheriff Joe...

they didn't fire ms sherrod

Since apparently you are in Arizona tell us what was discriminatory in the Arizona bill? You seem to have a different definition of civil rights than I do. I don't happen to believe that violating the law by being here illegally gives anyone a right to anything other than deportation or jail.
