I had just finished reading a Broder column on "A More Positive Tea Party" and the need for them to build a coalition on a strong, sensible platform in order to succeed, and the next story I read was this: washingtonpost.com With the article is a billboard picture of obama between Hitler and Lenin with the caption, "Radical leaders prey on the fearful and naive". This charming message is brought to you by-- the N. Iowa Tea Party. Even more appalling to me was the comment by a leader of a national Tea Party group, who said, "When you compare Obama to Hitler, that to me does a disservice to the Jews who both survived and died in the Holocaust and to the Germans who lived under Nazi regime rule." Apparently no disservice to Obama,though? You know, I read the things posted here that point out the ignorant garbage being spewed by politicians, and I go to another thread to see maybe some rebuttal or more positive articles from the conservative side, and what do I read? Concern that Fox is pairing Beck with O'Reilly.... becuase (drumroll) O'Reilly is an arrogant, sel-centered demagogue.

<<<Now there's a word worth pondering, Steve, "inefficiencies." I want to join the parade against it. I'll lead it. I want efficiency.>>> You have a lot of patience but too bad the word "inefficiencies" has lost a lot of meaning. It is now code word. We have tons of inefficiencies in Defence, healthcare, financial systems, etc. When we talk about "inefficiencies" now we are not talking about making things more efficient. We are talking about getting back at people who exhibit bad behavior. We don't need proof of bad behavior. We know who they are. They are mostly the poor, uneducated, and the unfortunate. We have done all we could for those folks. They are ungrateful. Now it is time to take our country back. Get rid of all inefficiencies.
