Apr 9, 2011 - Wiat a minute...you said a Republican giving you a "green project"? That would be hypocrisy! Although I have been a registered Republican since the Reagan years, I vote bills and measures as an Independant. Liberals today are the far left whackos serving socialism, they are not the hippies of my age. Today, the Tea Party "wackos" are seen as racist, anti-abortionists....sure, some are.. but the movement is about Federal spending and taxation w/o representaion! Hence, Tea Party!

Apr 14, 2011 - @DickLodge68. Are you a proud conservative member of the TEA Party? I think you are. A wacko t-partier. Because I have seen signs at their rallies that say "No Taxation Without Representation!" How stupid is stupid? THAT STUPID! The elected officials in the Congress DO represent American citizens in the matter of taxation! What's next? Having patriots dump some tea in Boston Harbor, and blaming Mexicans?

Jun 5, 2011 - Cenk, you sound pretty hypocritical here yourself- on another video you said Bobby Jindal refusing to take the money was stupid. Yet here you say that them being proud of using the money is somehow bad? What, should they be frowning in the pictures with the cheques? Should they be beating their fists and crying? We GOPs are being good sports which is something Democrats clearly have no understanding of. Since everyone has to pay up unnecessarily we might as well put the money to good use.

Jun 24, 2011 - To add to that my parents always told me if you get a gift you don't like you be polite and find a way to use it anyway. I'm pretty sure that's what the Republicans are doing Rachel.

Jul 16, 2011 - HWBush years: GDP grew 14% and employment grew by 8m; Clinton years: GDP grew 45% and employment grew by 23m; WBush years: GDP grew 60% and employment grew by 1m. THAT is how well tax cuts create jobs! Grows GDP faster to be sure, but jobs? nope...

Aug 15, 2011 - oh come on the Tea Party is a re-branding of the Republican Party and you know it. They are obnoxious, make little sense, and have undercurrents of racism and fear.

DickLodge68 Says:

Aug 17, 2011 - Just gimme a min here..The "democrats" of today would disturb JFK. Let's talk reality here. The Tea Party of today is closer to the hippies of my youth. What did they want? Less Government! Now, the "Democrats" have flip -flopped. Sure they wanted social justice BUT, they wanted the Gov't to stay out of our business too. So what's it going to be? You are going to get nutcases at any rally. My point is that The Tea Party stands for less Gov't...less Taxes...just as the old monicker.

AWesome61696 Says:

Aug 17, 2011 - Are you kidding me?1.) Dems have moved right-wing in the last 20 years. GOP has moved right as well- crazy right. 2.) All govts all socialist to some extent. The Postal service is socialist. 3.) 90% of Tea Partyers actually are uneducated "wackos." 4.) screaming about "Taxation without Representation" is retarded. America democratically elected Obama. And taxes are lower then ever. Bush + Obama lowered them! What are they yelling about?Hence, SANITY!

AWesome61696 Says:

Aug 17, 2011 - Tea Party = Hippies. HELLL NO. Tea Parties are misguided conservative nutjobs. They will oppose any progressive big government, but defense spending? They should protest about that. The Tea Party is ultra-conservative, hippies are anti-conservative, what are you talking about??? Hippies = Libertarians for freedom and social justiceTea Party (ers) = Racist conservatives that will do anything to ensure the failure of Obama.

DickLodge68 Says:

Aug 17, 2011 - Things have changed. "Social Justice" now means Anarachy! Look at London! Is that the "social justice" you are looking for? So what are you saying? Just as long as it's no "Tea Party" or any Republicans....but have so-called Democrats and socialists.....then we are okay? Look at the Anarchists protesting the UK....then you bash the Tea Party? You have NO clue! You are simply ignorant of some basic facts here. I want limited Gov't....just like the "Tea Party"...try to get it.

AWesome61696 Says:

Aug 18, 2011 - I DO get it. There is limited govnt is a sense of less spending and lower taxes. And then there is limited govnt in a sense of the military-industrial complex, and corruption, and corporate power. The later is what the hippies were protesting. I don't support hippie views, but I respect them for their ideals. The Tea Party doesn't care about war, corruption, corporate power- the real threat to liberty. Dick Cheney and the War Machine is what they should fear, not Obama and Biden.

AWesome61696 Says:

Aug 18, 2011 - and social justice can be achieved through protest, or even politics. I have faith in peaceful methods of change and have faith in politics to acheive great things. And what is wrong with government providing services for it's people? Isn't that it's job?

DickLodge68 Says:

Aug 18, 2011 - Sure, but it right about the Government bloating into some huge never-ending spending thing? We need services...sure...we need Defense, lol. We need a lot of things! But my God, we just spend like it's going out of style! What do we do ? Make a Dept heard for that...Let's make a new Cabinet member, to watch out for useless spending...oh, yes, and the assistants to the assistants. It's called bloated bureaucracy....something the Tea Party and I agree on...STOP WASTING OUR MONEY!

AWesome61696 Says:

Aug 18, 2011 - I agree that we spend too much, and i like the Dept idea. But i'm a Centrist- and the centrist view is in favor of spending cuts, but the fact that raising taxes aren't part of the equation is ridiculous. In only two years, the Democratic Party has moved right, into the center, and are for a balance of spending cuts and tax hikes. The Tea Bagger-influenced GOP won't agree to raise taxes. We need defense, lol. But not $1 trillion annual for it.

DickLodge68 Says:

Aug 18, 2011 - Hahaa...hence, the Tea Party! It's all about taxes! And Gov't waste! For the first time in my life...I know how bloated and confused our Gov't is! Ever see that show...err...Undercover Boss? Ahaa...Our Gov't needs to have that a bit! Our Gov't is so bloated, it's unaware of itself! Brings me to the Unions.....same fucking shit! A bunch of over-paid, do-nothings that bitch and yell about "rights". Fuck that! Time to re-vamp the system here, work for your paycheck..Gov officials too!

AWesome61696 Says:

Aug 20, 2011 - unions created a middle class and have done lots of things. typical reagan lover to bash them. airline pilots? their not overpaid. teachers? their not overpaid. coal miners? they fucking deserve a union! they can bitch all they want, I don't have a problem with them fighting for a better quality of life. but you righties don't understand that logic. the worlds "equality" and "rationality" are foreign to you guys. And the GOP is the party of corruption and overbloated govt, dude.

jggrow Says:

Sep 26, 2011 - David Gregory needs to see if there's a spot for him over on FAUX News; it's where he belongs (if he actually belongs anywhere in the "Big Leagues" on Journalism, which is in itelf a pretty good question).

BeenWii Says:

Feb 7, 2012 - Ok, really? You're commenting about how the tea party stinks, an yet you're using the word "teafaggers" to describe them? I thought railing the tea party was supposed to be progressive. Right now, you just come off as a homophobic asshole who can't get his ideology straight. Next time, how about you actually make a point about them instead of just raging, and defend gays instead of promoting homophobia.

padude64 Says:

Feb 10, 2012 - The tea party is a danger to this country! Sometimes you have to tax to get the economy going and every educated person knows that!

BOXCHEVYBOY350 Says:

Feb 23, 2012 - Typical scumbag republican move to vote against a democratic bill then take credit for any good the bill does.

Technokomodo Says:

Apr 8, 2012 - Too bad the stimulus didn't work. Problem?

neoviolin Says:

May 9, 2012 - President Robert Breuder of College of DuPage, buoyed by a Tea Party controlled Board of Trustees, chides the Illinois government every day for not "owning up" to pay the community college state funds. He asked citizens for a $168 million referendum, mostly going to pay for a $400 million Homeland Security Institute that will not be accessible to more than 90 percent of students. I'm surprised the Tea Party hasn't canned him yet. Hypocrite if you can spot one, right there.
