There's an undercurrent of hatred and violence in the tea movement. This is just the latest example.

We like to call that "cherry picking".

You can't even TRY to see this for what it is?

What % of all the signs were hateful. Be precise.

What does that % tell you about the other people there? That's right, nothing since there was zero control over who came.

I cannot tell you one way or another except I saw none when I left my tooth cleaning appt whenever the rally here was. Anyone claiming more than "I don't know" is as bad as some creationist. They've got no data.

Data matters.

What is the %?

You've counted a statistical sample (random sample—so that means large group pics, otherwise the photographer's choice makes the sample not random), right, then determined this?

Without that simple (though time consuming) step, you can say exactly squat about the tea party based on signs.

You might be right, but without real data you are talking out your ***.

Remember the Che poster in the HQ of Obama in Houston or wherever it was?

Obama supports Che and communists, as do his supporters.

Oh, wait, those were isolated offices, no endorsement was made by the real campaign. So yeah, while that shows that some nuts support Obama, you cannot generalize unless you can show that a significant number of campaign offices shared that choice in art.

No it hasent it really hasent. I know its hard to believe otherwise from what you hear but its true.

Id also be willing to venture that some of those were 'plants'.

There is an all out effort to portray the tea party as wackos 24/7.

I say go to a rally and judge for yourself.

Its over. With a week to go even the B. knows it.

The question is will the sweeping probationary change give Obama the reason to change his agenda, or will a more permanant change be required?

It's ironic that all Obama has done is basically continue programs you guys started. The stimulus? Bush's idea. The war? Bush's idea. Healthcare? They privatized it remember...so basically your idea. If anyone should be pissed it's us Dems.

The healthcare bill is almost a carbon copy of the one the R's floated in response to "Hillarycare"

And you're right. I am pissed, and thus that's why I can;t call myself a Dem. They're not the party that's going to get real change done.

A money influx from a private entity, which the FED is, is not the same as plunging all tax payers into the fire that the Dems and Obama has done.

You're wrong. The original $700 bn bailout was taxpayer money. It came from the Treasury. Get your facts straight.

Yes you did. You forgot to answer the question. When were Tea Party people beat up by Dems?

And those pictures weren't from the 2008 campaign. Stay focused here. I know you can do it.
