		<description>Gorgon says:

&lt;i&gt;conservatives USUALLY don’t protest. We’re too busy with responsibilities.&lt;/i&gt;

Why do white conservatives think they&#039;re the only fucking people who go to work every day?  What a ridiculous conceit.  You don&#039;t know shit about other peoples&#039; lives.</description>

		<description>I note that Mr. Fakes is 70.  That means he&#039;s getting Social Security and Medicare.  That means the government is &quot;in his business,&quot; and he is much better of for it.</description>

Freeloaders?  I&#039;m giggling.  I presume you live in a coastal blue state; we (in general) are the ones giving revenues to the other states.  Now that we in California are in an economic crisis, you can get by without our tax donations, thank you very much.  Maintain your own roads and rehabilitate your own tweakers for a while.</description>

What? Southern white racists were mostly Democrats until about 40 years ago? Was there some historical context that made this so? And where did they all go? So the rise of the Republican party in the South a result of the racial healing that followed the the civil rights movement? So much to learn.

Ta-Nehshi Coates to enlighten you a bit: &quot;It wasn&#039;t just racism--it was class also. In the South you had this black middle class that always had to be deferential to the most poorest white person in the world. The prospect of losing that deference, of already being lower than the white aristocracy and now also being lower than a class of blacks too, wreaked havoc.
But it&#039;s worth noting that, to the extent that this is complicated, it&#039;s complexity is not new. The ingredients may be--but not the complexity. Americans have almost never admitted to being racist, and to the extent they&#039;ve been racist, it&#039;s rarely been reducible to a simply &quot;I hate black people.&quot; There&#039;s always been something more. It&#039;s always been hard to figure out what the &quot;more&quot; was.&quot;</description>

		<description>Another angry &quot;white&quot; right-winger....

The problem with...wait...no...let me restate...the problem FOR the GOP is that the coalition is slowly eroding. (Picture a beach-head eroding.) Winning with a truckload of angry white guys worked for a few decades, but the face of America is changing. 

Having said that, they may win a few more national elections in the next 10-20 years. I&#039;m even willing to admit that that it&#039;s not out of the realm of possibility that &quot;Angry Red State America&quot; is in fact, stupid enough, and viable enough, to elect the bimbo from Alaska. 

But bless their &quot;little red hearts,&quot;...they&#039;re REALLY, REALLY angry now. Let&#039;s have some empathy for their plight. 

Donate, to Angry Red State America (ARSA), now.

		<description>&lt;i&gt;Well, I think I know the answer to that last one: when your side does it, it’s a good thing, so it’s “community organizing.” When the other side does it, it’s bad, so that’s “astroturfing.”&lt;/i&gt;

AGAIN, you guys derided &quot;community organizing&quot;, so we&#039;re doing you a favor by not calling it that when you guys do it.

&lt;i&gt;We’re too busy with responsibilities.&lt;/i&gt;

Like killing gay people?

&lt;i&gt;We’re taking shit over now. Whether you fucks like it or not.&lt;/i&gt;

So you&#039;re threatening to assassinate the President? How un-American of you.

&lt;i&gt;GorGOON is diarrhea waiting to happen. Get the Depends.&lt;/i&gt;

Do you really have to make fun of his screenname? After all, he&#039;s already named after a Greek mythology demon (well, 3 actually).

&lt;i&gt;It’s going to get ugly. Thankfully, we have the money. Not your degenerate, lazy ass constituents that vote for a handout.&lt;/i&gt;

Yeah, THAT&#039;S why Obama had problems with fundraising. &lt;a HREF=&quot;http://online.wsj.com/article/SB122143631954734245.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Oh wait...&lt;/A&gt;

&lt;i&gt;(oh, we have lots of guns too, btw)&lt;/i&gt;

So you&#039;re going to murder people? And WE&#039;RE the ones who are unhinged? Riiiiiiight...

You know, I&#039;ve never really got the whole gun obsession. I mean, it&#039;s a weapon with a point-and-click interface, how is that cool? It takes next to no skill to operate.</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;And I’m still curious, Oliver… who’s doing this “astroturfing?” How do you distinguish “astroturfing” from “community organizing?”&lt;/i&gt;

I think we all know how to distinguish between the truth and absolutely bullshit.

And we all know who&#039;s helping to spread the lies. 

You were the first moron here pushing the lie that the health care bill requires euthanasia counseling. 

Dennis took up that rallying lie even after you were proven completely wrong. 

Now you&#039;re pushing a year old story about Barbara Wagner to keep the bullshit alive but you still have yet to explain what you find so outrageous about her case or what conservative plan exists that would actually do something to help Wagner. 

Sp nice work Jay Tea, you&#039;re a complete tool.</description>

		<description>Hey Burn.....all of you libs need our &quot;white surburbanites and geriatrics&#039;&quot; money for your social programs. 

What do you think the next step will be. 

We could strangle the life out of anyone we want with a tax revolt. 

Some states have already hinted that they may reject a national health care program.

It&#039;s going to get ugly. Thankfully, we have the money. Not your degenerate, lazy ass constituents that vote for a handout. (oh, we have lots of guns too, btw)

Can&#039;t wait. It&#039;ll be fun to tell all of you freeloaders to go fuck yourselves.</description>

		<description>Oh spare me the crap of &#039;they&#039;re just a bunch of good old fashioned concerned Amuricans&#039;  BULLSHIT!

These angry geriatrics are going to these meetings and townhalls with the sole intention of disrupting the events.  They aren&#039;t interested in discussion or debate, they just want to scream and shout and cause a ruckus, as they have been organizing to do just that.  

The media is actually not falling for it either in most cases.  Which in turn makes the wingnuts that much more resolved to continue these stupid petty tactics, which will only hurt them in the long run.  This isn&#039;t the way mature adults deal with problems, this is what screaming spoiled brats do, is thrown temper tantrums and scream loudly for extended periods of time, only to wear themselves out without anyhing accomplished.

So wingers, tell me, what are you going to do when the health care reform is actually passed?  Are you going to cry with Glen Beck that your country has been taken from you?

Or are you just going to sit there and seethe with your impotent rage, plotting your revenge?  How long before some unhinged loser goes on another shooting spree?</description>

		<description>What? Southern white racists were mostly Democrats until about 40 years ago? Was there some historical context that made this so? And where did they all go? So the rise of the Republican party in the South a result of the racial healing that followed the the civil rights movement? So much to learn.

Please, Marianne7, tell us more.</description>

		<description>You know why it&#039;s astroturf? As I indicated, this is a majority black, Democratic district, and yet this meeting was packed to the gills with white conservatives. I bet a good portion of the people there weren&#039;t even from the district.

The conservative at these meetings aren&#039;t interested in talking to members of congress and attempting to change their positions on the health care bill.

Every video that comes out shows a Dem rep trying to talk, explain his or her position on the issue and instead of being civilized and saying okay, now here&#039;s what I think, the cons in attendance boo, yell, and scream like theyre at a WWE event.

I don&#039;t much like it when Code Pink disrupts congressional business, and I don&#039;t like members of congress being threatened by astroturf mobs.</description>
