    The Tea baggers foaming at the mouth at one point was amusing, but now they are frightening me. They could turn this recession into a depression.

    I call that truth in advertising - they're telling you what they're up to right on the billboard. Gotta give em props for honesty.

    This is just one billboard that weas put up by a bunch of morons. I'll believe that the American right wing is serious about dialing down the horribly dangerous rhetoric when someone like Glenn Beck finally gets booted off the air. It's no victory to see a billboard out in Podunk County in the middle of rural nowhere come down while an active revisionist fascist and conspiracist like Beck, who's said just about everything up to openly stating that he wants Obama to be killed, still gets 3 million viewers a day. So they take down one stupid billboard today. They'll have said or done something equally moronic by tomorrow.

    These fools still want Sarah Palin to be the next President. Think of that possibility and shudder.

    This bill board needs to come down with this kind of thing up there it is hard to have a serious and intelligent conversation about plans for the future.

    The problem is the target audience might be too fearful and naive to think that deeply into the issue.

    I'm curious, since there have been thousands of examples of things like this during the Bush years, does that make all anti-war/anti-Bush whackos?

    Seemingly if one side is whacko, certainly the other side is, unless there's this double standard.

    The news link is quite fair with its coverage. I liked it.

    We don't need that sign to remind up how brainless the tea Part movement is we have Sara Palin to do that.

    Rumor has is (because I'm starting it) is that the tea party crowd is starting to get Helen Guegris to become an American and run for high office as she has more intelligence and better deportment than Sara Palin. She could emerge as Secretary of State. As she she would have her own airplane she would need to sear at customs officials.

    Rahim Jaffers could be the new head of the DEA he could consume all the cocaine seized by the US Coast Guard (to make sure its destroyed of course)

    I liked the quote from the guy in the bowling alley:

    In addition to losing its billboard, the North Iowa group is looking for a new meeting place. The bowling alley it used for meetings and as a contact number will no longer rent a room to the Tea Partiers because of the blowback, the Register writes.

    "I've gotten harassing phone calls for 24 hours. I cannot take any more," said a staffer at the Rose Bowl. "They're not going to be here anymore. We don't pay our staff to be their secretaries. All they did was rent a room and buy cinnamon rolls. Not any more."


    :lol:
