      Just because you're paranoid, doesn't mean there're not after you.

      Umm, no, they're not targeting tea party protests, and hence why they were going on yesterday.

      It's funny how the right wing is now "concerned" about people checking up on their protests, now they know how we feel.

      That being said, if it is a legal, lawful, and peaceful protest, then nobody should be checking up on anything. Right. Left. Or Center protests. Doesn't matter. We do have the right to free assembly.

      Have at it right wingers. You guys still need to learn how to do it properly. Or maybe, just maybe, your so called populist movement isn't as populist as you think it might be?

      The Homeland Security reports about extremist groups was commissioned by Bush, not Obama.

      The report on left-wing extremists was issued in January, to no news coverage.

      Trying to connect Obama and the tea parties to these reports is disingenuous, at best.

      It seems  to me as if some of the conservative screaming heads are assuming that the report is referring to them as extremists.  Interesting.

        That's the oddest thing to me. These mainstream right-wingers are identifying themselves as extremists. Why?

        The report was dated 4/7/09, who was the president on that date?

          HA HA HA!  You, "fair" liberal think this report was commissioned and done within a week?  You truly believe that?  You have become very sad in your defense of lunacy. 

          I, for one, am almost gleeful to see that the party of Limbaugh has decided to accept far-right wing extremists as themselves.  I think it's wonderful.  Good luck in the next election.

      Not a very flattering picture of the woman, is it?

      A mugshot or driver's license photo would have looked much better I'm sure.

      Reich-wingers:   "if you're not doing anything wrong then you shouldn't be worried".....remember that over the last 8 years!
