The local one? What positions have they taken that seem to you to be so wierd? Opposing the TIF is extreme or wierd? And why exactly is the Doctor so good? I think that Walter's take on the Local TEA Party, and Dr. Stewart, is pretty fair. If their position were unreasonable, or extreme, I think Walter would have certainly said so. I guess what I'm trying to say is if WALTER thinks the Local TEA Party is "citizens with legitimate concerns over government policy", then what specific reason can YOU give to support YOUR opinion that they're "kukoos"? - ragin_cajun Fri, 04 Mar 2011 11:12:01 +0100 http://www.theind.com/pooyie/7874-pooyie-030211#comment-15442 I don't know about Stewart's plan, especially the tax part but I do believe that the tea party crowd are about as sensible as a bunch of bedbugs who've been sucking on a wine-o. They should change the name of the group to the kukoos. The good Doctor nailed them correctly. - Gene Broussard Fri, 04 Mar 2011 07:34:40 +0100 http://www.theind.com/pooyie/7874-pooyie-030211#comment-15386 Well Hells Bells, we can't all be everywhere, but we each have to be somewhere, like Tonto said to the Lone Ranger, "Whatcha mean we, Paleface ". - Jose Jimenez Hombre Wed, 02 Mar 2011 21:56:15 +0100 http://www.theind.com/pooyie/7874-pooyie-030211#comment-15379 I can't address Bachman because all I know about her views is what I've seem her say on about 3 1 minute interviews on fox news. I'm curious, though Walter. Where exactly do you go to get so well informed about the views of the TEA Party? Surely you're not a member. I mean, have you actually attended a TEA Party meeting and heard the membership discussing Glenn Beck's views, or Michelle Bachman, or even the Founding Fathers? Because at the few TEA Party meetings I'VE personally attended, none of those names were mentioned at all. Didn't come up. I think you might be speaking outside your area of expertise on this one, buddy. - ragin_cajun Wed, 02 Mar 2011 19:03:12 +0100 http://www.theind.com/pooyie/7874-pooyie-030211#comment-15377 Not as weak as your analogy, ragin. Beck is a tea party hero. And funny you didn't address Bachman. - Walter Pierce Wed, 02 Mar 2011 17:52:21 +0100 http://www.theind.com/pooyie/7874-pooyie-030211#comment-15375 Glenn Beck is to the TEA Party as Louis Farrakan is to the Civil Rights Movement. Pretty weak, Walter. - ragin_cajun Wed, 02 Mar 2011 17:01:33 +0100 http://www.theind.com/pooyie/7874-pooyie-030211#comment-15365 You and your examples, ragin! Bloviating gas baggery: Glenn Beck, Michelle Bachman Undue idolization: look at a tea party rally and the number of people in tri-corner hats, etc. Moreover, where does the movement get its name? - Walter Pierce Wed, 02 Mar 2011 14:52:26 +0100 http://www.theind.com/pooyie/7874-pooyie-030211#comment-15363 " trends toward bloviating gas baggery and undue idolization of 18th century men who wore powdered wigs and velvet breeches" --- Cite some examples, please? - ragin_cajun Wed, 02 Mar 2011 14:45:15 +0100
