Fact is fact, Tea Partiers are extremists

Right-wing extremists taint Tea Party protests, hurt conservative cause | The Eagle Online

This was from a conservative on conservatives. The Tea Partiers are sick extremist monkeys with severe mental issues and are in need of help. When you believe lies are the truth and believe it as gospel something is wrong.

Hey Bass, why don't work up some courage and actually go to a tea party, afraid of all those grandpa's and grandma's with their children and grand children there.

why don't you go away and allow the adults some time without your fucking bullshit asides?

Dante,

No offense, but you lost the debate. You stated something as fact. I responded.

You then said you are entitled to your opinion.

I agreed.

But the point was that you stated something as fact, not your opinion, and I attempted to correct you.

That was the debate and you ended up supporting my side.

The rest is all well and good, but has nothing to do with our debate.

And I agree. There most certainly is a freinge element to the tea party.

There is always a fringe element to any movement.

[nope: not about the image. the image was offered up as anecdotal evidence. teh fact that you didn't comprehend the obvious, is what it is]

The rest is all well and good, but has nothing to do with our debate.

And I agree. There most certainly is a freinge[sic] element to the tea party.

There is always a fringe element to any movement.

[State the obvious again. Didn't hear you.]

There is always a sub-fringe within a fringe that makes the fringe look less of a fringe.

anti-Obama rallies, which is what most think about when the Tea Party comes to mind, are an expression of the fringe on the right--Obama is not a citizen eligible for the office he holds, Obama is a socialist, Obama is a Muslim, the Tea Party suggestions that they will arm themselves against government, as the Colonial Patriots did...


It's all there. Asking people to post proof is sophomoric and pedantic all at once. We are not in class, and a post is not an essay---for most of us anyway.

thank you for taking the time to grade my non-essay posts.

 

[AllieBaba]

Please...show me an anti-Obama rally.

 

[AllieBaba]

Thank you for reminding me, though...I'm going to organize a tax day tea party here.

 

[Procrustes Stretched]

Please...show me an anti-Obama rally.

PLEASE, GO PLAY THIS GAME WITH THE OTHER CHILDREN.

IN closing, and in full disclosure:

I never asked you to prove your point. I simply reminded you that opinions are not facts. And I mistkenly took your collage as you providing proof of your statement, and you subsequently corrected me and let me know it was not.

And I jumped all over it so I can be the "winner", even if there was no winner.

Call it USMB fever. I NEED to win. I was cut from my little league team at the age of four and I never recovered.

That being said, have you ever wondered why there are no "broad view photos" of the tea part gatherings where you see a quanitity of hate filled signs?

Maybe the firnge is really a fringe and not the norm?

Our Founding Fathers were called "Extremists" by many as well. They worked out pretty well for our country no? The word "Extremist" gets thrown around by all sorts of people while promoting their own agendas. It just doesn't carry as much weight as it used to. It's a lot like the little boy who cried wolf at this point. What is an "Extremist?" Hmm?

That's nonsense Dante, you need to go to a tea party also and find out for yourself.

If you beleive that people are extremists because they beleive in a:

1. Balanced Budget.
2. Smaller more efficient Government.
3. Representative government, where your representatives actually votes to represent their constituents.
4. Less taxes and less regulation on small business.

Then I guess you are right to call tea partiers extremists, if not, you are dead wrong. Yes, there are some fringe elements to any movement, the birthers, however, they make up a minute minority in the movement. The Great majority of TEA Partiers beleive that he is a U.S citizen.

But until you go yourself and they are all over the country, you won't know. I am a proud tea party member and have attended several where you get to meet many like minded people who are not RACISTS or NAZI'S.

BTW Obama is a socialist- Definition of Socialism- A social system based on Government Control over the production and distribution of goods and services.

1. The Car Companies.
2. Health care.

He now has his eyes on the financial industry and after that, energy- cap and tax.

That's a Socialist agenda--- and he is one.

Extreme actions were required to rid this earth of Nazi Fascism and Adolph Hitler and the same kind of 2nd Amendment Actions will be required to rid America of the Fascist now squatting in the White House ...

"Extremists" created this Nation. I think that has worked out pretty well for us no? It has been my experience that most people who routinely accuse others of being "Extremist" are usually the ones who are the real Extremists. Hey just my observation anyway. Something to ponder i guess.

Most tea partiers aren't focusing on Obama and his citizenship at all.

They're looking for new candidates to replace the worthless ones we have now.

That being said, have you ever wondered why there are no "broad view photos" of the tea part gatherings where you see a quanitity of hate filled signs?

No. Photographers frame and crop photos to make a statement or represent an idea, and more. btw, I used to do lots of video as well as shoot stills. I always told people the line about 'the camera doesn't lie' may be true, but a good editor does lie, and manipulate, and create. nothing wrong there. Shame on me if i think a photo is definitive proof of...

Maybe the firnge is really a fringe and not the norm?

there are days I think the fringe is needed as a way of keeping the balance shifting. When things are fair and balanced there is always a shifting center of gravity. maybe I am getting to cerebral. happens quite often to those with liberal dispositions, and I hear...even to constipated conservatives.

 

[Vast LWC]

Hmm, I think the OP needs to read "Fact is some tea partiers are extremists".
Of course, there's extremists in every cause.

Revolution is an extreme position to defend, but espousing revolution with reason and rational is more a radical expression than an extreme one.

The Founding Fathers knew they were radicals---most with a liberal philosphy, but they tempered that with a conservative approach---the Declaration of Independence was hotly debated until all sides agreed to support the revolution---all sides except the conservative Loyalists. The founding fathers took an extreme position only after exhausting all options. Revolution was a radical solution to an intolerable situation. Their approach to revolution was not so much extreme, as it was radical. Their approach was almost conservative.


There is a lesson there that you and most extremists have a nearly impossible time deciphering.

I am amused that most of the protesters hide behind the founding fathers, the flag and the Constitution. It's as if their ideas cannot stand on their own.

The camera DONT lie.
The "cropper" is the one who creates the lie.

 

[Procrustes Stretched]

Hmm, I think the OP needs to read "Fact is some tea partiers are extremists".
Of course, there's extremists in every cause.

That is not debatable.

It all depends on how generalized a definition one wants to use to define the Tea Party.

 

[AllieBaba]

Of course, there's extremists in every cause.

That would defeat the purpose of the deliberately misleading thread title.

 

[LibocalypseNow]

The Extremist Socialists/Progressives running the country now should be opposed and if that's an "Extremist" position then so be it. Like i said,our Founding Fathers were considered Extremists for opposing the King too. I think that all worked out just fine for our nation. Make 2010 count people.

 

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

exactly, a gathering of extremists, misfits and misanthropic troglodytes.

When the tea partiers start behaving like this, get back to us.
...
[/CENTER]

get back to us.?

thank you for making my point about group think, and stupidity. Using the actions and signs of individuals at anti-war and other rallies.

extremist views to justify extremist views.

two wrongs always make a rightie, right. in their own small minds.

"Us" as in those of us partaking in this thread, numb nuts.
