And of course you can make any segment of the public look stupid by asking simple questions. These events are social gatherings which take the form of a protest. There is no protest, just generalized, mostly uninformed bitching. Good work by the producers.

Why is this good work by the producers? Because it fits your stereotype of who these people are and what their issues are? I have been to these Tea Parties. There are a lot of smart, articulate folks there. Give me a break, we all know these producers left the smart, cogent responses on the cutting room floor. And you are biased as hell in your reporting.
Dr Dodd — Hm… I don’t quite see how your remark bolsters your argument that I, as a child of divorce, am necessarily more blighted and depraved than your blessed self.
Perhaps you can try again.
(Is that ok, John? I promise Dodd’s feelings won’t be hurt! He’s the child of holy matrimony, after all!)

You seem to be arguing with yourself. I never said you were blighted and depraved. If it helps I will concede that you are dazed and confused.
Probably the result from the pressure of your better job and superior intellect.
#101, peggy,
I have been to these Tea Parties. There are a lot of smart, articulate folks there.
Then why don’t you link to something showing us how smart they are? C’mon, these are tea baggers, just saying some are smart doesn’t make it so.
#104-Mr Fusion-link to something showing us how smart they are.
This is really not necessary. The good judgment of simply being a tea bagger outweighs the poor judgment of being an Obama worshiper.
No other prove is required.
Yes sir eee! I’d be honored to share a pint with any of these Patriots…
As we toasted the constitution…and the overwhelming tide of conservatism the Obama project brought…
It was our secret plan…just as Carter ushered in Reagan…so also Obama will usher in Ron Paul or Palin…
Its inevitable…
Cheers! Fellow Patriots.
#101 Pay no mind to Mr. Fusion…if you produced the video the Establishment Media edited out…it still wouldn’t be enough for him…he would simply change the subject…claim you stated something else, or berate you.
Frankly, Mr. Fusion doesn’t accomplish more than a trained flea might, he is an Establishment apologist…given to ad hominem…
Strange how Dr Dodd and Alfred1 never reference or acknowledge each other.
Anyhoo. Good to hear that you had a good time amongst fellow dumb asses, Fox zombies and religious zealots, Alfred1. There is certainly a rising tide of SOMETHING going on out there, but I’m not sure its conservatism. Is Beck the whacked out right’s answer to the Groovy Guru? I hear he didn’t show up. No doubt thwarted again by Control.
#108-Hugh Ripper-Strange how Dr Dodd and Alfred1 never reference or acknowledge each other.
Must be a conspiracy along the lines of 9/11 being an inside job.
Maybe we should notify Charlie Sheen.
#109 No doubt
Dr. Dodd, Ph.D — “prove” is a verb; “proof” is the noun.
See? you learned something today. Hooray!
Will mention again seeing as there was no response….again. Alphie must have missed it.
Alphie said: “Fact remains, we fielded over 100,000 people,… ”
Glen Beck, Alphie’s human god said:
“Citing “a university,” Glenn Beck claimed on Monday that 1.7 million people had attended the anti-reform protest in Washington, D.C. on Saturday.
He couldn’t remember the name of the school, for some reason.”
Ouch. Now that must be embarrassing having your guy not be in agreement with you. Like I want to give up Alphie…not.
I have a job Alfred1…not going to tell you what it is but you shouldn’t care as long as you are right as the day is long, right?
So, to get things going Alfred1, please explain how you can say there were 100 thousand people at your rally and Glen Beck said it was definitely 1.7 MILLION.
Let’s start there, shall we?
Thanks Alphie, for accepting to participate in a cogent discussion.

#105, Dr. Dudd,
This is really not necessary.
It is necessary if you are going to back up the claim that many of the people at these tea parties are smart.
If you can’t demonstrate their intelligence is greater than the present evidence, then that video stands on it’s own.
#111-Wretched Gnu-“prove” is a verb; “proof” is the noun.
It must be a burden being so intelligent. Maybe some day when you make a mistake I’ll be able to point it out to you.
Ahh forget it – I’m not that petty or insecure.
Dr. Dodd writes: “It must be a burden being so intelligent.”
It is indeed, my good doctor, it is indeed. The burden is so great that I’m tempted at times to write “Dr.” before my name to act as a persistent and oblique reminder of my advanced degree.
On the other hand, I’m grateful I have vast intelligence at my disposal when I’m confronted with all of the rock-solid arguments I keep hearing from Republicans about why Obamacare would be Socialism, but Medicare and Social Security is not.
I have to be constantly on my intellectual toes to fend off the rigorous and logical arguments that the right-wing keeps sending our way.
#115-Wretched Gnu-I keep hearing from Republicans about why Obamacare would be Socialism, but Medicare and Social Security is not.
Who ever said Medicare and SS is not socialism? Of course it is.
Socialism is pure evil because it enslaves people to the government. ObamaCare is no different except in the increased speed and monolithic scope of enslavement.
Surely you are not naive enough to believe ObamaCare is about health care are you?
Dr. Dudd,
Didn’t you previously post under the pseudonym “Patrick”. I can understand you changing it after being outed for all the things you weren’t.
I notice you haven’t changed anything except your handle.
#117-Mr Fusion-Didn’t you previously post under the pseudonym “Patrick”
Nope.
Dodd sez: “Surely you are not naive enough to believe ObamaCare is about health care are you?”
Yes, yes, I know. Healthcare reform is really about slavery. War is really about peace and detention without trial is really about freedom. We all know the right-wing handbook.
#119-Wretched Gnu-Healthcare reform is really about slavery.
Actually it is closer to bondage than slavery. I know, it is one of those ideas people scoff at until it happens.
Can you post a copy of this right-wing handbook you speak? I can’t seem to find a copy and Amazon never heard of it.
