[kj] OT: Tender, moving YouTube video

[Brendan Quinn]

The other side's protest is a manipulation from the top down made to look
like a grass roots movement though, that pretty much renders anything you're
going to say suspect in my book. It's a shame because any legitimate debate
they might have is sullied when you know their method is deceptive.

I was merely quoting your words. Maybe I put to much emphasis on words that
people say and should've thought "maybe he means protest or demonstrate"?
I did, but then wondered why the choice word of riot came up. I guess that
sometimes
I'm just not so quick on the button. You'll have to forgive me.

I'll be responding to the astro-turfing in a bit.

It is amazing, however, that when one side protests is all for valid
reasons. When they other side protests
it's all because they are a bunch of losers.

Will write more later (though I promise not to turn this into another 800
response email thread)
(Twisted the fuck outa my ankle and gotta ice it down right now. And on the
first NICE day of 2009!)

Cheers Oli!

Who said there were tea party "riots"???

I never did. I just pointed out the truth, which is that they are
'astro-turf' (fake grass roots), corporate directed anti-Obama events
designed to give vent to sore losers from the 2008 POTUS election.


As far as the teabagging fests, which looked like the worst Sarah Palin
rallies from last year, this man is my hero:

He 'infiltrated' a tea party and actally said something that was true. He's
got big bals for doing that, because most of the people at them are nuts.
Accordingly, he gets booed.
