		<description>&quot;If it&#039;s such a joke, why the hell are you people discussing it?&quot;

Because the liberals on this thread like to discuss things that are  funny.</description>

		<description>&quot;If it’s such a joke, why the hell are you people still discussing it?&quot;

I&#039;ve been to the zoo to see the monkeys play with their own feces multiple times as well.  Republicans are amusing to me, and I need a good laugh now and again.  Why shouldn&#039;t I enjoy the spectacle of you guys making asses of yourselves over and over again?

Dunno how many times I have to say this: I cover the hot issues of the day and the crazy stuff conservatives come up with instead of being serious about the major issues of the day amuses me to no end.</description>

And if it&#039;s such strong, grassroots organization, why are you here feeling the need to defend it on a liberal blog?</description>

		<description>August, congratulations. You&#039;ve officially become CS&#039;s &quot;mini-me.&quot; You&#039;re an ass and I will no longer converse with asses. Cheers.

This is funny though. 100+ comments for left wing dolts who claim the whole tea party movement is nothing but a joke and that they&#039;re &quot;laughing at it.&quot; If it&#039;s such a joke, why the hell are you people still discussing it? Why are left wing blogs writing about it every day and why are left wing blogs trying to falsely claim it&#039;s not a grass-roots movement, but just a corporate backed astro-turf charade?

Seeing as how 90% of left wing blogs now get their talking points from &quot;JournoList&quot; hacks, the irony is pretty thick.</description>

		<description>That would be the Obama admin, ow. You know, the one that&#039;s pledged to spend more money in 3 months than Bush did in 8 years. 

And this thread is still hilarious.</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt;Well, if Bayse wasn’t a resort town with skiing and mountains right there instead of an apple factory like what Winchester is known for, then you might have a point.&lt;/I&gt;

Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha...

Oh, I&#039;m sorry Dennis, were you being serious when you tried to base your argument on what towns people vacation in like you have any proof at all?  My bad, dude.  I promise, I&#039;m really sorry about laughing at you like that.</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;Saying “shut up and do it my way” doesn’t qualify.&lt;/i&gt;

Why not? Worked for the last 8 years.</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;Here’s the original source. And as noted on the chart, the data comes from the CBO and the White House.&lt;/i&gt;

First off, The Heritage Foundation, the neo-con think tank? Really?

Secondly, that only concerns the right hand side. No source is given for the left hand part. Interesting.

Dave, its you and your kind that screwed up this country, not me. If you want us to be &quot;bi-partisan&quot;, you&#039;re going to have to beg for it.</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;Hey, you have fun defending the Republican brand. It’s awesome.&lt;/i&gt;

Where am I defending the &quot;Republican brand&quot;?  The majority of politicians calling themselves Republican have been a bunch of spineless, corrupt idiots.  There are only a few (like Jeff Flake) who actually stick to their conservative principles.  

I&#039;m sure that Democrat brand will be equally awesome, sometime around 2012 when the deficits start climbing again and we are long past the point where the Democrats can deflect the blame for the country&#039;s problems on Bush.</description>

Sorry, but the only &quot;us&quot; that&#039;s been consistent is Greenwald.

But please continue deluding yourself.</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;Fuck you. It takes two to be bipartisan, and since it is clear the Republicans have no intention of doing so, why should we even try?&lt;/i&gt;

Yeah, I&#039;m sure that&#039;s why Obama made his &quot;I Won&quot; comment, because he just KNEW the Republicans weren&#039;t going to play ball with him so why bother trying?

&lt;i&gt;The Democrats don’t have to reach out across the isle. The Republicans do.&lt;/i&gt;

Sorry, idiot, that&#039;s not how it works.  Bi-partisanship goes both ways.  Saying &quot;shut up and do it my way&quot; doesn&#039;t qualify.

That&#039;s some fucked up logic you got there, Smoochie.

Oh, and go fuck yourself, douchenozzle.  Go write me a DVD review or something, bitch.</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;Huh? You may wish to recheck your recent history. See Greenwald, Glenn. Again.&lt;/i&gt;

Sorry, ed, but holding up Greenwald as a shield doesn&#039;t get “Team Reality-Based” off the hook from addressing this issue.

Any blogger who felt the need to expend effort criticizing this policy when it was Bush&#039;s should at least be consistent and criticize Obama.

Unless they&#039;re hyper-partisan shills for Obama.  See Willis, Oliver.</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;Team Reality-Based has been on this from the get go. See Greenwald, Glenn.&lt;/i&gt;

That&#039;s a laugh.  &quot;Team Reality-Based&quot; has been mostly keeping its collective mouth shut over this, other than a few weak bleats of half-hearted protest.  Now that the target of their ire would be Obama, the need to criticize over this issue has magically evaporated.

Glenn Greenwald is one of the extremely few liberals who has been consistent on this issue from day one.  Much as I disagree with his politics, I at least admire his conviction.</description>
