Heck, I have people indict my statements here simply by dint of the fact that I have made most of my money working for public education (<i>stop suckling the government teat and get a real job!</i>). Teabaggers should be at least as incensed that their buses and rallies and press are bought with converted rubles.caheidelbergerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03261598066395322681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15329279.post-90361814122781300222010-04-19T10:48:47.062-06:002010-04-19T10:48:47.062-06:00What would you like Stalin's money to fund?

F...“The Roots of Stalin in the Tea Party Movement”! For Heaven’s sake, Cory, have you become unhinged? Is Glen Beck now your standard? <br /><br />Let’s follow this connection, shall we? The Koch family made a lot of money in Stalin’s Russia back in 1929. Today, Koch Industries contributes money to conservative and libertarian organizations, including some Tea Party organizers. Therefore, the Tea Party people who showed up in Aberdeen last week have a “dirty little secret”, they’re closet Stalinists.<br /><br />Well, Okay. Barack Obama worked closely with Bill Ayers, an unrepentant domestic terrorist. Therefore, Obama is a mad bomber. Yeah, I can see how that rhetoric is attractive. It is also guilt by association, and in the Yasha Levine it quite literally amounts to McCarthyism.<br /><br />I will be charitable and assume you posted this for its entertainment value and not for any serious point that it makes, for it surely makes no serious point. It might have helped to say so.Ken Blanchardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09580209017016829598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15329279.post-1142270906980323782010-04-18T15:26:51.710-06:002010-04-18T15:26:51.710-06:00Cory .

Becks genius isn't in the fact that the paranoid connections are difficult to acertain, I can come up with the connections needed to "prove" that my dog's constant barking is the result of a Spartakusbund conspiracy(She is a schnauzer). <br />His genius comes from the knowledge of how to manipulate that segment of the population that either doesn't, or doesn't want to, understand that they are not.Barry Smithnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15329279.post-44151127922692873432010-04-18T07:58:06.234-06:002010-04-18T07:58:06.234-06:00Barry, I do like to play dress-up with Tea Party c...Barry, I do like to play dress-up with Tea Party clothes every now and then. ;-) This connection between Koch and Stalin is at least as significant as the nutty stuff Beck airs to get his audience to buy Beck merchandise.caheidelbergerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03261598066395322681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15329279.post-89065645628914724242010-04-18T07:31:13.067-06:002010-04-18T07:31:13.067-06:00Wow.
