Stephen-
My taxes went up this year and I actually take home less than I did last year.

I find it funny that the Mainstream Media "reports" that the Tea Party is filled with racism and hate (despite no arrests or violence) yet blatantly ignores stories like this one in where a Republican woman and her Male Friend were jumped by a group of Leftist Protesters outside the SRLC in New Orleans on 4/9 leaving her with broken leg. Getting violent on Women is a terrible way to get your message across, Leftys.

I spent 10 years working construction in Jacksonville and had never heard so much racism before.

No doubt... I think you would agree that the statement... "Most construction workers in Jacksonville are racist" would be an unfair characterization of an entire group of people.

Most of the construction workers I have worked with are racist.  Outside my experience, I really cant say.  Maybe I have a low threshold for what I think a racist is but whatever, its a moot point.

You really should keep better company.
Racism is found in the hearts of the fearful and hateful. I have no racists on my crew, and any mention of racism will lead to dismissal. Construction workers are better people than most give credit for.

Stereotypes are a real time saver.

Ignorance has no skin color associated with it.

Well then you're in the minority.

In 2010, the average American needs to work 99 days to meet their tax obligations....that's the lowest it has been in over 35 years....for comparison, under W it took as much as 124 days.

Unfortunately, this isn't necessarily a good thing....we'll need more revenues (along with spending controls) to wipe out the budegt deficit.

I am going to make a quick point then I am done on this topic. 

You make a company statement that your company will not tolerate racism.

The men know this and therefore do NOT display their racist tendencies. 

You have no idea who is racist on your crew because they keep it to themselves.

I worked for a prominent contractor in the area.  I walked up to the shop one morning to get the day's assignment and one of the mid level managers was standing outside, I said "hey" to him.  Then he proceeded to tell me that James Brown had died the day before and "now the monkeys will want another day off" and made some other comment to go with it relating it to MLK.  It was all I could do not to hit him, seriously, and I warned him that it wasn't ok, to talk like that around me, that it wouldn't be safe for him to do it again.  Well, he never said another racist word around me again but I can promise you that my statement did nothing to change his views.

This is such a great tactic you are using here.  In order to make the right wing protesters look better you are comparing them to the lowest possible common denominator of lefty protesters.  Like I could say, well "at least the lefties dont spit on and call civil rights leaders niggers."  Then of course I would be told how I should not characterize and entire political movement as racist, which would be correct.

LOL... "love sees no color" blah blah... Actions speak louder than words!

Well, I am about to take care of some last minute chores, get a quick shower and a bite to eat and head out for this, so-called Tea Party.  If anyone wants to spit on me and call me nasty names I will be wearing a green St. Patrick's Day Yankees hat, it even has a shamrock on the side . I will of course be taking photos so I will be moving about, but I am easy to spot.  I hope to meet one or two of you there.  Remember its all about community!

First off, it's not a tactic. I'm merely pointing out an example of mainstream media bias. They continuously publish stories about Tea Partiers being "racist" and "filled with hate" without any photographic and video evidence, proof of arrests, proof of violence, etc. Yet a story like the one at the SRLC with plenty of video and photographic evidence, they ignore. However you spin it, that is biased journalism.

But since you want to talk about "tactics", didn't you post a link to a Teabonics site? A "tactic" that attempts to stereotype Tea Partiers by their "lowest possible common denominator" because some of them have spelling issues?

Before you stereotype, Disclaimer: I am not associated with the Tea Party nor am I a Republican.

I stand corrected. A Tea Partier with A sign filled with hate. I bet he spit and fought someone right after that photo was taken, too.

Now, after I've defended their movement for being non-violent and non-hate, watch the Tea Partiers go out tonight and make this the most violent, hate-filled protest ever. You all can rib me tomorrow.

That's why it's best to get one's information only from FOX News.  They are always fair and balanced.

[JC]

All journalism is biased, humans are involved.  So when you watch one network you get one story, when you watch another you get a different story.  All mainstream media are slaves to their corporate masters, be it MSNBC or FOX, they are all bought and paid for, as in, the debate is controlled by those who want to control it.

You'll get no argument from me there.  But if someone believes the mainstream media is an organ of the progressive movement and the functional liberal equivalent of Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity, then they are either delusional or willfully ignorant. The mainstream media is far more receptive to news and viewpoints that challenge liberalism than conservative outlets are to news and viewpoints that challenge conservatism.

That is your opinion, not fact.

And nice attempt at a backhanded put-down, but I'm neither delusional or willfully ignorant. I see things quite clearly.

The fact of the matter (in my original post) is that ALL mainstream media outlets have ignored the story of a Republican Woman and Man being attacked by Far-Left Protesters when they left a restaurant for almost a week now.
