SirJosephPorter in your posts # 16, 35 and 41 (not to mention many of your posts on other threads) you keep changing the subject by accusing me of changing the subject.
At this point I must make an apology to the moderators: I try to exhibit and practice patience and tolerance, try to stay on topic, but good will can only go so far in face of spin, denial and ignorance.

I'm fairly certain that people who engage in 'tea bagging' are not homophobic.
They might, however, be racist. Not likely, but possible.
Freedom, freedom.. you can hear all the Republicans reading the speechwriters of the insurance and pharmaceuticals. Only they can write stories to make some believe that a slave-owning founding father's principles means more than the average citizen today.
The USA majority is still with President Obama as shown in the Gallup poll.
As for the racial slurs, I've posted enough placards from those meetings in the past. Do a Google search if you are still not convinced. And no, you won't find them in the Faux network.

With the British, perhaps. But why should be a sore spot for Canadians? What do Canadians have to do with Tea Party?
You have not stayed on topic, YJ. You have talked of everything except the behavior of tea baggers. Show me even one post in this thread by you, where you discuss the racist and homophobic behavior of tea baggers.
There were cries of 'nigg*r' aimed at Rep. Lewis, and cries of 'f*g' directed at Barney Franks, the openly gay member. There is reason to believe that at least some of them are racist and homophobic.
This is the recurring behavior on the part of tea baggers, it is nothing new. As to the right wingers here, nothing will convince them that any of the tea baggers are racist or homophobic, it is a waste of time to try to convince them.

My apologies - I didn't know there was a connotation about "baggers" which is also used - but as you point out "negatively"....I thought it was just another name for this seriously campaigning group of people who are fighting without office, finances or backing by any legitimate means OTHER than the rights afforded to the people of the nation - the Constitution.
I won't use the epithet again and appreciate your advice - meant no harm because
I am hiding behind my own ignorance of the title being a "slam" against them.
I love their ragtag (of necessity) groups organizing themselves in geographically
situated areas - no heros yet everyone having a voice, belonging, speaking their
collective wishes and keeping it real. It is what I enjoy about living in the U.S.
- that age old tradition they have here of speaking out - a guarantee since the
organization of the nation - and even in modern times when government has access to television, radio, massive amounts of money to spend getting their message out there.....the people still have a voice and are using it.
I hope their elected representatives have been listening and watching....it is an
issue they must never ignore or forget ..... they signed on for service and leadership not forced increase in taxation under the guise of "help for health".

Good point - I guess all the alphabets and cable news broadcasters are having a field day with the hostility many people are carrying around - and the usual
(outdated) suspects will be a target for the idiots - because there are idiots on
both sides of the fence - who have yet to learn respect for others.
Still wouldn't you rather hear honest anger even ugly anger than dishonest promises and politically correct tripe while someone has a hand on your next paycheck?
The latest issue from the "looting legislature" is that this will create jobs? Are they kidding, the small business owner and many companies will have to cut back employees and some will go out of business.... because they can't afford all the new taxation they will be required to collect from employees who can't afford to
work for the company.
If only the promises were real - the utopia many of the government membership truly believe in won't happen in the current generation's lives....the people who
voted the representatives and senators into office.

There are many reasons not to like Barney Franks, and being openly gay is not one of them. You seem to think that just because a person is Gay, Black Yellow or Red that when they are in politics they need some sort of special coddling because of that. You just have to understand that some of us just don't like them because of their stands on certain things, to Left or to Right. For example Barney Franks was one of the reasons that Fannie Mae and our economy tanked. There are countless reasons for disliking him, more important than his life style. (want another, he was involved with a prostitution ring) I do not like the man and what political positions he represents.
