    The right in here has said that I need to die, that I want our troops to die, that I support Saddam, that I'm a friend of the terrorists, that I don't love my country, that I want the US to fail, that I cheer the death of US troops, etc.

    I have said nothing close to that to anyone from the other side. So please don't act like the right on these boards doesn't cast out insults.

    You have drawn an awful lot of conclusions that are not in evidence in this video. Please watch it again and detail for us the similarities that you believe she pointed out.

    The right? Who? Which one?... or was it two?

    The onslaught from the left in here in about a 20-1 ratio.

    News flash: T_J is gone... are you still holding a grudge?

    I don't need to get into a pissing match about who called who more. OddsOn, basso, Shovel Face, and others were much worse than TJ.

    The things from the right have been much more offensive, and baseless. I don't hold a grudge now or then. I actually don't get offended by what people on an internet board say. It isn't that serious. I'm just pointing out that you accusing the left is odd. I think there are folks on both sides that say things attacking other people.

    Naturally we are more familiar with the ones who insult us individually. I'm well aware that there are excesses on both sides and I have stooped myself occasionally.

    If I can find/make the time, I'm going to go back into one of the threads that I've been seriously engaged in and make a list of all the insults hurled at me-- virtually all of them unprovoked.

    They are already here in this thread.

    Actually, based on your own repetative history of arguements, the mere fact that Dr. King is on the LIE that is FUAX NEWS (and to top it off-- GLEN BECK) ;) should tell you everything you need to know without even getting into the specifics.

    Did you understand from the interview that she was there in support of the TEA Party Movement?

    If you can answer me this simple question with a YES, then we can establish the foundation to discuss the exact details of how she sees the similiarties between the Civil Rights movement and the current TEA Party movement.

    Again, what's your point? That we should not listen to people like MLK, Gandhi, etc...but rather pay more attention to their relatives? So if your brother is a communist, then that mean you supported communism too right???

    And if your friend went out and say commited a crime, my gosh - you're a criminal too. That's how Sarah Palin looks at the world, so it makes sense that you are espousing that kind of logic too.

    As long as debt and taxes and spending and unemployment and foreclosures continue to rise, the Tea Party movement will grow.

    The ridicule only serves to empassion its members and harden their resolve, it doesn't diminish them.

    Keep it coming.
