When was there a time when the rednecks in the South and the haters in the Heartland were not ready to get out their guns and revolt?

Anything sets them off, any hint of change.... And who in the h. cares? Let them secede and good riddance to all of them! Let them take their FOX News TV and their Michael Savage with them too.:rolleyes:

Re: Mega TEA Party

There were about 60,000 to 70,000 here today, according to police estimates.

Two million filled the entire length and width of the Mall and shut down the city last January. This was nowhere near that scale.

IMO the teabaggers are much ado about nothing. I could get 60,000 to march on DC in favor of eliminating the designated hitter in the American League if I had one of the major news networks pimping my cause with free advertising 24/7.

I think you are confusing the causes and the effects. It's much more blended together than "FOX promotes tea parties, therefore tea parties are big events." In my opinion, FOX has a rather ingenious business model. They have some uncanny sense of upcoming popular trends, and feed into it. They very quickly overtook CNN as the dominant 24/7 "News" network because of their "personality" model. CNN tried to follow, with Anderson Cooper et al, but they also decreased the quality of their Headline News and meat-and-potatoes daily broadcast with random bullshit segments. Combine FOX's trend-finding ability with the fact that they have not forgotten the most basic principles of mass media--sex and violence sell--and you get a rock star of a cable network. That's just my opinion, but the proof is in the pudding. They saw tea parties as being one of the next big news things, and each has been mutually feeding into each other.

The "teabaggers" [deleted by admin for disrespectful language] (and you are despicable for using that term) are not much ado about nothing. You could not get 60,000 to march in DC and thousands more around the country to assemble on the same day for any other cause at the moment. That is, of course, unless you try to take credit for assembling people for the Independence Day celebrations :rolleyes:

Hopefully something good will come of it, and it will not serve to simply split the opposition and ensure never-ending government growth.

OMG one of those protestors had a sign up "Glen Beck for president" - I would say he at least, is one of the people MM alluded to protesting for his / her right to be raped - its hard not to agree with MM on his points. I am not sure these people are stupid, it is question of information access, what is one to do, how does one break the propoganda effect?, as Fred commented in a previous thread (I think heath care, dont have the link), even well informed readers here on Itulip can be subject to the left right paradigm, it is very depressing to say the least and augers little hope. :confused:

Wait, so the right is NOT well organized?

Re: Mega TEA Party

mega,

the usa right wing is easily well organized & exploited by the oligarchs. they enlist the right to defend the banks' and insurance companies' right to rape them.

'i demand the right to be raped by insurance companies! you cannot take away that right! if you try you are a socialist! or hitler! or something!'

see, mega, that is why we're fucked.

i'm sorry, but you apparently do not watch American television or ever attended an American university.

Communist indoctrination is nearly sole purpose of all major propaganda enterprises of the nation.

The public rejection of government run healthcare is simply due to the obvious ineptitude of nearly all government enterprises. Perhaps, if we had a greater sense of civic duty in this nation, things would be different. But they are not.
