I am not sure which tea leafers you are talking about; if you show me the article I can better respond. You'll have to show me the proof of Swear words (oh my!), violence, personal intimidation and Hitler signs. As far as outright lies, I will say, without feeling like I am at all going too far, that Obama is a first class liar. The list of lies is long and distinguished but I won't go into them now because I would guess that you would just ignore the post. But I would offer that many of those who are calling Obama a liar is the ultra left wing who feel like Obama has abandoned them already (ever watch the Bill Maher show on HBO?).

My perspective on the tea movement is this: the majority of Americans, while they support SOME type of health care reform, do not support ANY type of health care reform, including the current proposal offered by Congress - show me one current poll that shows Americans support this version of health care "reform". In the best tradition of a grassroots movement, the tea leafers, without funding or organization, challenged their representatives in town hall meetings to prove they are acting in their interest. If that is uncivilized protest, I will take it all day long. You (and your fellow democrats) have complained about our lousy politicians but get upset because a bunch of senior citizens are worried about how their healthcare coverage will change. You, yourself, in prior posts indicated that we as a nation have to have a tough discussion about how health care resources are allocation; that we will have to make tough end-of-life choices about denying healthcare to the elderly and infirmed; but you are too upset to hear swear words from the people who it effects directly? My, what delicate sensibilities you have.

As far a facism being barely worthly of a response, you have no problem calling Capitalists facists because they support free market ideals, but it is "barely worthly of a response" when I accuse you and your fellow Democrats of blindly following Obama. Humm...
