Interesting, in that...

Post #329,829 by beepster 7/18/10 2:52:28 PM Reply	Interesting, in that... ...just a few short years ago we were hearing about how the moveon.org and moviemaking folks didn't represent the core values of democrats and should be dismissed...but now the tea party folks and a couple of iowa farm boys are the heart of the republicans. this is the state of amusement that I spoke of being in a couple years back when the tables would turn. maybe this will poll better for them than blaming rush limbaugh for everything...since they seem to have stopped doing that. I will choose a path that's clear. I will choose freewill.

The teabagger rhetoric has been embraced by much of the Republican leadership, as Benen said. Your attempt at "balance" won't work here. Cheers, Scott.

Post #329,956 by beepster 7/20/10 12:03:38 PM Reply	And I think it's pretty safe to say that there's a huge amount of selective memory going on here. As easy as it is to assign fringe behavior from tea party to the Republicans is as easy as it was to assign same behavior from moveon and other organizations to the democrats when they were hunting for power. They didn't condemn or alienate those groups at that point either. Heck, Jimmy Carter had Mike Moore in his box at the convention. I will choose a path that's clear. I will choose freewill.
