"The tea parties were planned and promoted by the Talk Radio Party formerly known as Republican. The party has been hijacked by these people that prey on the ignorant and use fear to incite. We have a huge ignorant population that are very happy to watch their reality tv shows, listen to bile spewing talk show hosts. Anything, so they actually do not have to think. Kids wearing teabag hats, it was more like a MTV spring break than a real protest."

My first comment is that the talk shoes and Republicans hi-jacked a movement that was well underway _and that the original organizers would do well to steer clear of both.

You imply without specifically stating that it is the teabaggers that are the huge ignorant population. I would suggest that they are smart enough to realize that someone will pay for all of the spending and it will be them.

I am of the opinion that both parties prey on fear and ignorance. The fact that you don't see that indicates a bias on your part. I bet that when the Dems have "spontaneous" demonstrations attended by Union and government workers, you don't think those folks are ignorant. And of course we are all aware that the Dems never spew bile and hatred.

When Obama's people demonstrate it is wonderful because he is bringing more people to the system. But when the opposition demonstrates, it is just terrrible they are all just mean, hating terrorists.

In my opinion the teabaggers are raising serious issues that deserve discussion, just as many of the supporters of Obama have done. This is America and I am appalled by the close mindedness on both sides.
