		<description>Sorry...everyone is missing the main point here.  I don&#039;t care how hard core tea baggy she gets. She can staple tea bags all over her body.  She can profess to be the most dedicated tea partier ever. She can out-crazy Bachmann and Palin combined...This isn&#039;t going anywhere.  This organization will not have any impact...Why? This is a white woman is married to a black man.  And THAT is not how those tea bag folk roll...just sayin.</description>

		<description>What, Wilbur, you think Oliver doesn&#039;t think Tea Partiers are racists?

What position did I distort and lie about?</description>

		<description>I&#039;m curious why you feel a need to distort and lie about Oliver&#039;s positions on those issues.

On second thought, check that, I&#039;m not curious - I know all I need to know.</description>

		<description>I&#039;m curious why as a member of a group of people you claim are racists who can&#039;s stand the idea of a black man in the White House, and in whom their opposition to HCR is based on their innate racism, that you haven&#039;t called Ginny Thomas a racist.</description>

		<description>&lt;em&gt;Clarence Thomas is not an Objectivist unless he has recently changed his mind. Your credibility just dissolved.
&lt;/em&gt;

He talks about the impact that Rand&#039;s writings have had on his life in his autobiography. He famously makes his law clerks watch that awful adaptation of &lt;em&gt;The Fountainhead&lt;/em&gt; where Gary Cooper is hilariously miscast as Howard Roarke.</description>

		<description>I think your problem might be that someone who speaks reality did translate for you, what you need is someone to explain it in wingnut paranoia. I&#039;m not really fluent, but I&#039;ll give it a shot:

&lt;i&gt;Just as Clarence Thomas has been persecuted by racist liberals who resent his success and actively seek to destroy the constitution, his wife Ginni fears the current administration and it&#039;s allies in congress seek to persecute patriotic Americans and trample on their rights.&lt;/i&gt;


On conservative blogs, this line of reasoning is likely to devolve into comments speculating as to whether the Army or the  National Guard will be willing to assist Obama in declaring martial law once the citizen&#039;s revolt becomes too unruly.</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;Faux resentment, Wilbur. You mean like pretending to be outraged that the wife of a US Supreme Court judge is active politically, but not outraged when a Supreme Court nominee to be an actual judge was a Leftist activist and a board member at the Puerto Rican Legal Defense and Education&lt;/I&gt;

Perhaps, with the exception that the PRLDEF is a legitimate organization doing good work for people who need help.  The teabag outfit is a bunch of crazy wingnut whiners.

&lt;i&gt;And self-inflicted paranoia, is that like being offended when the LA Times is described as being liberal media, such that they’d somehow feel for mere survival purposes to be bailed out by the leftist/statist agenda of the Obama Administration that it might be in their interests to write said hit-piece on Clarence Thomas’ wife at this very moment of national importance.&lt;/i&gt;

Can someone translate that from right-wing loonish for me?</description>

		<description>High comedy:
&lt;blockquote&gt;In January, Virginia Thomas created Liberty Central Inc., a nonprofit lobbying group whose website will organize activism around a set of conservative &quot;core principles,&quot; she said.

The group plans to issue score cards for Congress members and be involved in the November election, although Thomas would not specify how. She said it would accept donations from various sources -- &lt;b&gt;including corporations -- as allowed under campaign finance rules recently loosened by the Supreme Court.

&quot;I adore all the new citizen patriots who are rising up across this country,&quot; Thomas, who goes by Ginni, said on the panel at the Conservative Political Action Conference. &quot;I have felt called to the front lines with you, with my fellow citizens, to preserve what made America great.&quot;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

...and corporations. &quot;Fellow citizens &lt;b&gt;and corporations&lt;/b&gt;,&quot; she means. Got to love them Republican grass roots. So grass rootsy.</description>

		<description>This is one of those situations where you have to feel sorry for a guy like Clarence Thomas who married a woman who obviously doesn&#039;t have a real job or was never prepared for a real career.

&lt;i&gt;. You mean like pretending to be outraged that the wife of a US Supreme Court judge is active politically,&lt;/i&gt;

He&#039;s not outraged, he&#039;s mocking the fact that she&#039;s joining up with such a hackish outfit. And I&#039;m laughing at the fact that her career has been such a big fat zero in her life that she&#039;s reduced to begging for corporate cash by piggy-backing on the tea bagging movement in a desperate bid for attention. I mean, seriously, obviously this person is a derelict and a failure-- much like many Republicans&#039; political and social lives, but that&#039;s neither here nor there. But that&#039;s what Republican activism is -- a movement which takes the intellectual and moral dregs of society and makes them feel important by getting them to advocate for immoral beliefs.</description>
