    Oh...where did the tea party people pay anyone to register to vote? Was there anyone at the tea parties who registered 70+ times to vote? Were they giving cash for voter registration? Was there organized voter fraud at these rallies?

    I didn't think so.

    (dont'cha hate it when someone points out the obvious?)

    LeBuick...just because you ignore facts doesn't make them less factual.

    The tea parties were not only about taxes...they were to protest the size, spending, and scope of the federal government.

    Feel free to ignore this fact. It won't be the first (or tenth) time.

    1. There is no election this year so no one is registering voters.

    2. When asked the Republican's could not produce a single case of registration fraud that led to a fraudulent ballot being cast.

    3. Voter registration fraud is not limited to ACORN and the Liberals, the conservatives do it also... The rest of us just don't make as big a deal about it since no registration fraud has been known to lead to a fraudulent ballot being cast.

    If this is the case then the participants should have been better educated since many of them only spoke of their taxes being raised.

    You were there ? Wow. But I guess, how else would you know what they talked about ? Thanx for showing support.

    Maybe you should be better educated. Relying on sources like CNN and Media Matters is only going to produce what limited view of the events they want you to see. The problem isn't the participants but your sources.

    Priceless. This (LeBuick) is the same fella who can't help but find ways to question Bush's election in 2000. This is the same fella who managed, somehow, to rationalize, equivocate, and explain away how ACORN could pay people to register to vote...yet he had no problem with it.

    If you think that conservatives do as much voter fraud as liberals, then you are delusional. Absolutely complete break from reality. Come to Perry County, Alabama (a democratic stronghold in Alabama's Black Belt). They can't manage to have a non-tainted election. They have had more people vote there than registered voters...many times. But because any questioning of the "voting" there brings cries of "racism" from the state senator from that area (a race hustler himself)...nothing is done.

    Sorry, but you're wrong, and everyone but you seems to know it. There is much more voter fraud in liberal circles. There are many more people there who live off the government...and their vote is to decide what kind of "pay raise" they get.

    Besides...look at who opposes voter ID laws: it ain't conservatives. It is the people who have a vested interest in keeping the process tainted.

    But you keep on believing the fairy tales. I'm sure it makes you happy.

    That's funny right there.

    Watch Susan Roesgen's belittling of the father with the 2 year-old kid.

    Then tell me if you actually think you are getting accurate coverage.

    I do find it humorous that you are able to tell us exactly what everyone was there for from the hundreds of locations, and near-one million participants. You must've been busy, getting around to every participant.


    Oh...wait: you mean you were counting on CNN for accurate coverage? Well then, that explains a lot.

    (this is where you respond and tell us that this event was a Fox creation, and that these people are less honorable than the ACORN folks who pay people to vote)

    Can you point to one instance on this Forum where you have been anything but an illogical lackey for Obama and his leftist cabal in DC? You are getting almost as bad as JC. Are you serious or just raising hackles. Watch it those pit bulls are bad.

    Joe Scarborough was apparently MSNBC's token conservative. I expect he will leave as soon as he can or else as soon as NBC can get rid of him.

    I can read a sign? What is biased about reading what a person put on their sign? Now I never said all the people were confused, but it did seem the confused ones got a mic shoved in their face.

    You just can't help yourself, can you? Overgeneralization comes so naturally for you.

    I am afraid that is not a problem for LeBuick alone.

    Liberals naturally want to categorize and group people, it makes them easier to control. You can't be an individual, you have to be part of a group. You have to be African-American or Appalachian-American, or a right wing extremest.

    Unfortunately a lot of people in churches do the same thing. You can't just be an individual. They have to lump you into a group. You are IFB or SBC or whatever. They group and make assumptions because that makes it much easier to judge people and you don't have to go through that messy process of actually getting to know people.

    No, I am not saying you always do that LeBuick, I am just saying it is a characteristic of our society at large and liberals in particular.

    I say boycott General Electric. They own and support the left wing America haters on MSNBC and NBC. GE is trying to get sweetheart deal on cap and trade from their sugar t_t Czar obama.

    Just an FYI... I used the term only for purpose of discussion here in this forum. I do see people as individuals which is how Christ taught us. I do appreciate the manner by which you brought this to my attention, however, the alternative seems to be personal attacks like saying "you" or calling members out by name.

    Now in the case of this forum there does seem to be a common element of those who are against Obama. In those cases I see no problem with characterizing the group with a broad stroke. It is like when Janet Ann Napolitano used the term "right wing extremist". I would think we all know she meant the likes of Timothy Nichols yet people I would think didn't fit that category took the term offensively. Now couple that with the fact that a left wing extremist report came out and you notice no one took offense and you hear very little about the report? It just appears the right whines and cries about everything.

    @Rbell = I am one of few here who will admit I voted for Bush in 2000. The fact that I voted for him doesn't excuse my feelings that no election should be decided in court. That is my objection to what is happening in MN. I can appreciate what just took place in NY with the looser conceding but it is clear to me the GOP is only keeping the Left from getting the 59th Senator seated with what happening in MN. That is silencing the voices of all those who voted for the winner.

    Now the case goes before a panel of 3 Republican's who contributed to Coleman's campaigns at one time or another, an Independent and a judge who won't declare a party affiliation. I don't see this as how the voice of the people are heard via the election process when this is how a race gets decided. I say it again, no race should go to court. It needs to be decided by counting all the valid ballots according to the election officials (who by the way were mostly GOP in MN).

    Whoa, watch the assuming. In no way do I think she only meant McVeigh or Nichols. Napolitano is a dangerous radical. Research her statements and positions. If you are honest in your search for the truth, you will conclude she is a radical, and her definitions of "right-wing extremists" should scare the mess out of most Americans.

    You're proving my point. I said, "I would think we all know she meant the likes of Timothy Nichols yet people I would think didn't fit that category took the term offensively."

    I don't think she was referring to you but yet you are offended.

    LB, thanks for the personal attack.

    It's called "reading the news in context." You should try it sometime.

    How can it be reading in context when you eliminate the word "disgruntled" and fail to acknowledge that a similar report was put out regarding left wing extremist? That would be selective context if you can claim in context at all.
