As the left-wing media watches their socialist dreams come crashing down before their eyes, you can expect that they will only amp up the lies and the rhetoric.
As much as we may hate to admit it, some are getting to where nothing from the old-school left-wing media surprises much anymore. Nonetheless, the fact that TIME Magazine has descended to the point where it will publish something at this level, even online, may surprise some.
[T]he things that scare the teabaggers--the renewed sense of public purpose and government activism, the burgeoning racial diversity, urbanity and cosmopolitanism--are among the things I find most precious and exhilarating about this country. And even though the teabaggers' pinched, paranoid sensibilities are now being stoked by Boss Rush and the leaders of the Republican party, I take comfort in this: the racists and nativists have always been with us, and they have always lost.

(In case you're not up on your modern slang, 'teabagging' is a slang term relating to a person who perfoms oral sex on a man in a certain manner, normally to demonstrate a state of sexual submission to that man. Referring to a man as a 'teabagger' is akin to referring to him as a 'fag' or 'homo.')
As you may know, TIME Magazine isn't the first out of the gate with this sort of crude juvenile insult. Here's a video of CNN's Anderson Cooper and David Gergen engaging in the same level of discourse a while back:
Of course, it's no surprise that MSNBC had to weigh in, as well:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OLsKt4O4Yw8
This is the level of discourse we've long since come to expect from liberal bloggers and their television network (MSNBC,) but one may be forgiven for being more than a little surprised and disappointed to see that TIME Magazine and CNN have been willing to put their name on this sort of thing.
As to the rest of the TIME column, the hundreds of cameras present at the hundreds of Tea Party events seem to have somhow completely missed the signs and speeches denouncing miscegenation, Latinos, Asians, homosexuals, 'uppity blacks,' racial diversity, urbanity or cosmopolitanism.
Does anyone remember seeing protest signs demanding that we 'SMASH URBANITY!' or that everyone band together to 'STOP COSMOPOLITANISM NOW!!'?
What the cameras HAVE captured at Tea Party events is a whole lot of signs and speeches warning the citizens of all creeds and colors against placing more power in the hands of the government. Given the historical experience of Blacks, Latinos, Asians and Native Americans at the receiving end of government power, it's tough to see how 'be wary of government power' is some sort of coded racist message.
As noted, you can expect that they will only amp up the lies and the rhetoric as we move forward. The best thing you can do, going forward, is be prepared for it and to not let it distract you too much from the critical task of taking back our country.
Your thoughts? Weigh in below.
Dispicable! But, what can one expect from the gutters of the universe?
We had a blast in DC 9/12. Felt like a family reunion, being with people we'd known for years.
Kind words filled the air; hugs& smiles everywhere; and most of all -- we all left "OUR" Capitol CLEAN! AMAZING DAY!!
Born & raised in Lubbock (go Cowboys, lol) now living in TN -- it was wonderful to have friends from "home" (Ft Worth) join us in DC, too! :D
God bless America & all that love, serve & defend her with truth & honor!

The stupidity of the Left's reaction to the Teaparty movement cannot be overstated. In order to suppress opposition to their agenda, they needed to assuage the anger of the people protesting. By first choosing to ignore, then ridicule the Teapartiers, they stoked the very anger they needed to minimize.
I am still stunned that none of the Democrats' political consultants put a stop to their utter madness as soon as it began, but then again, perhaps I shouldn't be surprised in the least. After all, socialism is a political philosophy based on a fundamental misunderstandin
While they expand themselves spewing venom, we can resolutely move forward, focus on action, & take back our country in 2010 & 2012! The Acorn debacle is a great milestone we should all celebrate.
The Dallas Morning News is already going broke, not just because of their liberal editorial staff, but because they offer no news, few human interest stories, and little local community news.

I too went to DC. We need to continue this march to take our country back from those that would harm it. Thank you for being here.
If you may have noticed GE has been running many "nice guy, we love our country & GIs" commercials a lot lately, Bill O'Reily has a handle on them and thier Iraninan connections etc.
No one I know of watches MSLSD, CNN, or the other left wing media.
They do not report the news accurately anymore, so I just get my news from FOX news.

We also need to stage a simultaneous nation wide rally in front of ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN.
We know that our purpose is grounded in the defense of our liberty, freedom and Constitution.
The way we fight them is in numbers, but we need to be smart about it, and we need to avoid anything that will give them fodder for their bias slant. As much as I admire what Joe Wilson did, he gave them a chance to make everyone opposed to Obama and his ilk seem to be unhinged. We need to be cool, calm and unruffled as we march against the tyranny. We will win this!
They can call us all racists if they choose but that word is starting to fall flat. Soon the left will discover that using racism to counter every valid argument we make against turning over our country to socialism will be a losing argument.
It's so important that our enthusiasm doesn't diminish. We have to continue our protest against tyranny until we change the face of Congress and restore America to the freedom we used to enjoy.
I never buy any socialist rags like Time or even local newspapers. And, I will never buy another GE product!
:^D
Seriously though, we need a national spokesperson.
The media will continue to obfuscate as it is the only means they have left at their disposal. In my years of blogging I have always found that when someone pulls the race card, or begins calling someone names, it is usually because they have lost their argument.
The fact remains, this administration's policies are raping our country of every liberty we have grown to love and accept as our very being. In my opinion, when I look at this newbie Obama, the only color I see is green. It is time to take back our country and
What I don't understand is if they don't love this country, its history, the Constitution and all that it stands for, why do they stay? I am sure that they there are many nations in this world that would welcome their kind.
"Let's not vote for any incumbent"
I welcome the day when they all go broke...never to be heard from again....
If I ever, ever slip up and accidentally spend any money on any of these people....forgive me....
My hope is that somehow my withdrawal of support from the MSM brings them down....but it is going to take all of us....
This is hate speech. Time for a petition to congress to legislate this hate speech as illegal. How would these bums like that king of progressiveness?
I'll bet you could get 2 million to sign it.
The outrage by the libbies would be insane. Yet this is acceptable? "Angry, Inbred Hillbillies"? We have more class and brains in our back pockets than Gibbs will ever have!!!!http://peacemoonbeam.typepad.com/scooters_report/2009/09/white-house-tea-party-protesters-inbred-hillbillies.html

Public Purpose - the transfer of private property and labor into the hands of government collectivist redistributors.
Racial Diversity - the masses of immigrants, many illegal, who are brought to the country and taught collectivism so that when they become citizens, they will vote for collectivists.
Urbanity/Cosmopolitanism - Collectivist beehive society.
Do you think that we are too disparate a group to begin to put forward something that we are FOR?
It occurred to me as I read and watched the liberal editorials that you pointed out - thank you very much for doing so, by the way - that they have a valid point when they wonder what it is that we want.
I think that we, the members of 9/12 and the Tea Party, etc, are united in wanting liberty but have not stopped to define it. And we need to!
We seem to agree that: 1.) We don't want Socialism, and 2.) We seem to be headed towards Socilism willy-nilly with Obamacare as its spearhead.
We need to concentrate our efforts on spreading definitiions and examples of socialism and definitions and examples of individual liberty. Doing so would stop claims of us having a racial bias at our core dead in it tracks, and show a philosophical consensus intead.
At this point I will move into my personal preferences, so take the r
When they have community organizing going on... it's great -BUT When others start to organize... they can't handle that kind of patriotism.
SIGNED - A Proud Right Wing/ TEA Party Protester!
We remember CNN, whose reporters go out to "report", but harangue people instead, or as I saw last week, misrepresented video to suggest that angry whites are carrying semi-automatic rifles and handguns to protests, by showing only the back and lower body of a protester carrying weapons, when in fact the gentleman turned out to be quite black!
It's time to stop being angry with these people (including the President and administration) and to start laughing instead. This whole business reminds me of the fable about the emperor and his new clothes. There is a great deal of idealism coming from this administration, but little or no real substance. I am beginning to believe that is it not true that the leftist media in this country ignores substantive abuses from this administration because they want President Obama to succeed. Rather, I think they are afraid that by actually reporting the truth about him, t
God Bless!
I saw signs from Catholic Nuns, Cuban-Americans, Families, Disabled Americans, the elderly, children and everyone in between. The most energizing speakers were black and the crowd cheered all of them with the pride of knowing that everyone there supported the American spirit of hope, freedom, and the right of the individual to pursue their own dreams.
I am proud to have been there and know that we will all succeed, as a stronger nation that is united in the aspirations left behind by our founding fathers.
Let's hope that the left continues their attacks as it binds us stonger.
Which members of congress are willing to be on this socialist health care plan and forgo thier cadillac retirement and pay into social security with the rest of us?
What is good for the goose is good for the gander!
There is no excuse for not reading a bill! This has got to stop!!!
I am heartened that we have impacted them so much. We are a force to be reconded with, and they know it. We were all on the schoolyard when we were younger, and we know what happened when a bully got to us - we reacted in anger, and then he kept bullying us because they wanted the satisfaction of knowing that they could get under our skin. My reaction to this name-calling, bullying tactic is to smile and watch the bully look confused when he doesn't get a rise out of me.
Loved your pictures of all the patriots in DC on Sept. 12. Looked like 2 million to me.
We are continuing to separate as though we just experienced the Big Bang, and are moving away from each other at light speed.
I honestly can't see the two sides re-converging. A house divided........
It is interesting that they aren't recognizing the interview with the woman of color who said she had voted for Obama but did not approve of his policies and they had to stop. Also there were people of color who had "Long Legged Mack Daddy" on their signs which is the term Pastor Manning uses in refering to Obama but they aren't pointing those out.
To be honest they are desperately trying to find some way to stop Americans from interfering in their policies and their take over of America.
We did have a blast in DC 9/12 and I just explained to some people it was like a family or class reunion where you instantly feel comfortable with everyone and it's like you a
The problem with tolerance is its limits and the evolutions it promotes: For the Enlightened Absolutist (think Progressive, liberal-socialist, communist), Absolutism is a pretense for power, must be Relativistic, and tolerance a tool of license for the elite; for the Conservative, Absolutism is often political, social Rigamortis, excluding many unnecessarily and opening the doors to the tyranny of big government. English writer G. K. Chesterton - humorously or not I don%u2019t know - once observed of the historical cycles of politics:
%u201CThe whole modern world has divided itself into Conservatives and Progressives. The business of Progressives is to go on making mistakes. The business of the Conservatives is to prevent the mistakes from being corrected.%u201D
Today, how far Tea Party Patriots (TPP) will push the envelope of protest-to-rebellion against the chilling headwinds of Statism under the direction of the Obama-nation-administration, depends very much on the ext
I think it suffices to refer to any media that refuses to report true journalism as 'fringe media'. Lets all get very used to that term and use it whenever it applies. They will collapse under their heavy load of themselves!
That is the end of Time!
Let us drill for our ofwn oil. Let Cap and Trade die, Let Israel take out the nuke plants in Iran. Finish building the border fence. Cut taxes and let the market place work. Keep our military strong. cut out the pork spending.

FOX is the only "Fair & Balanced" source of TV News.
If we play nice they will walk all over us. I am not suggesting violence, but I am suggesting we go on the attack intellectually...something they would never expect or know how to react to.
I have read over the last few days some really good articles about how it is the left who are screaming "You racist!" are in fact racists themselves. How can that be you ask? It's because that is always the very first thing their minds think about...EVERYTHING is about that.
There is a very good article on Americanthinker.com called:
Science Proves: Maureen Dowd Is A Racist
"Using the logic of the Implicit Association Test we can prove "scientifically" that Dowd is a real, honest-to-God, objective racist.
Why? Because her first reflex association to "You Lie!" from R
This is not a surprise to any of us. This is not something new, or something we haven't seen before. If ever the voice of reason rears its head and dissents to the status quo, the status quo will always resort to mudslinging and underhanded tactics.
Advances have been made. Small victories have been won, and our hearts may be lightened and our morales may be high. But I warn you, this is a dangerous time. This is the time of false satisfaction, when those small victories have given us a false sense of security. While we may revel in our minute advances, the Democrats and left wingers of the world are plotting different, more dastardly ways to smear us, to make us sound stupid and uninformed. They are looking for new ways to portray us as hate mongers and racists, as bigots and alarmists. These are the words and terms by which we will be described in the coming months. Get used to them. They have main stream media at their disposal, and most ar
"Speaker Pelosi:
I found your teary comments about potential violence in current political opposition and activities disingenuous, at best. You referenced your experience in California, which I presume is the Harvey Milk assassination. Given that your recent comments seemed to suggest that there was a potential for political violence from tea partying opponents to the President's proposals, and given that the facts are the exact opposite, let me outline reality for you, Speaker Pelosi.

The way I view it from all his actions thus far it seems like his numero uno enemy is United States of America, what it stands for, its values, traditions and more than anything on what it was founded on the U.S. Constitution!
History will judge him and his enablers very harshly-
His Doctrine: The Enemy of Mine Enemy is My Friend"
Foreign Policy: "I Am Sorry, So Sorry I Apologize"
And his Legacy will ultimately be looked upon as "Hate Crimes Against America."
I hope I am wrong, delusional or just in a bad dream and will soon wake up.
A million thanks for the updates!

Sir, we have done everything that could be done to avert the storm which is now coming on. We have petitioned; we have remonstrated; we have supplicated; we have prostrated ourselves before the throne, and have implored its interposition to arrest the tyrannical hands of the ministry and Parliament. Our petitions have been slighted; our remonstrances have produced additional violence and insult; our supplications have been disregarded; and we have been spurned, with contempt, from the foot of the throne!
