re: #56 Killgore Trout

Glenn Beck, Freedom Works, et al are the same people who turned the Tea Parties into such an embarrassing debacle. They failed to denounce White Supremacists and extremists. They even spoke out in support of the dick who circulated the racist Obama-witch doctor email on their mailing list. Why continue to support their events? It’s only going to lead to more embarrassment.

I updinged what you said, but I want to add something. Yes, they should have denounced the witch doctor thing immediately and unequivocally. Many of these events are embarrassing and poorly organized and handled. On both sides.

The questions of continuing to support their events has me thinking. Some people are using the opportunity to act on their individual beliefs and let their voice be heard and they’re not part of a mob. It’s easy for some for you who have not made a decision on whether you support government run health care. If you’re on the fence over it, or if you full out support it, you definitely see nothing but embarrassment. Some of these people are desperate because they believe it’s a real danger ahead. The trouble comes when they let their desperation rule their actions.
