[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 991210, member: 12508"] The Tea Partiers deserved to be demonized. Nobody is advocating their destruction, especially me. In this country, we all have the right to support whatever loony cause we see fit. Fascism and Socialism are diametrically opposed, so perhaps you are confusing the "socialist" name of the Nazi party with the ideology...very different things. The middle-aged and older folks you mention as the core of the Tea Party don't even understand what they're protesting. They want the benefits (Medicare, SS), but don't want to pay for them. For example, please explain the Tea Party rationale that SS is an "entitlement". I don't know about you, but I've put tons of money into Social Security...it isn't an entitlement. It's [B]my [/B]money, and I'd like it back when I get old enough to collect, thank you. The Left makes vicious attacks in comparison to The Right? Ever listen to Beck, Limbaugh etc? How about Savage? The big difference is that The Right controls Fox and radio, two huge powerful weapons in their arsenal. The so-called "mainstream media" may lean left editorially, but they seem rather impotent compared to the Murdoch empire/Fox. All of the money rolling-in for campaign ads mutes their incentive to expose anything that stinks on The Right, and there's a lot. I don't hear ABC,NBC, CNN, and CBS asking Romney about all his offshore accounts or pressuring him to make a full release of financial records. Does the Citizens United decision ring a bell? As far as we know, anyone can pour as much money into a candidate as they want, and it will remain secret. If China wanted to sink a few million into Romney's election campaign, they could. You and I have always disagreed on this, so I'm not surprised at your response. It always amazes me how anyone who works for a living and is middle or lower class can support The Right, yet they often do. It seems nonsensical to agree with the same people that want to kill unions, drive down wages, and make emperors out of the Smiths and Waltons of this world. God forbid that Willard gets elected because it will be open season on working people and carte blanche for the elite. Think we're screwed now? Just see what happens if Captain Magic Underpants becomes POTUS. [/QUOTE]
