    Our politicians leave our borders wide open, allowing criminals, rapists and terrorists easy entrance to our country while our FBI spies on Americans exercising their freedom of speak because they are tired of being cheated, lied to and taxed to the point it is ruining their lives.

    I can see where average Americans are such a threat to this country. This had to come from the top.

    FTA-The source stated this correspondence termed the TEA parties “political demonstrations,” and added that the dissemination of the directive was very tightly controlled. “Not all agents were privy to this correspondence,” stated the source, who compared the dissemination to an older “Do Not File” classification.

    Nobody cares about the tea party fools except Fox news. It was organized by Fox and it was pathetic.

    FTA
    Training government-issued cameras on ordinary citizens, many of whom brought their children to an estimated 600 Tax Day TEA Parties is a page torn out of George Orwell’s 1984 and makes the term “God Bless America” more meaningful than ever.

    Were they looking for all of those "right wing extremists" described in the Homeland Security report?

      Red;
      am glad to see the right finally getting on board with the left on this issue. Too bad y'all thought it was A-OK for our government to spy on war protesters. It truly amazes me when people support our government's policies when it violates the rights of others, then they get upset when the tables are turned. I am no fan of the idea that its OK to do this to our opponents but not to me. Hogwash, its not OK for this to happen to any American!!!

        "is a page torn out of George Orwell’s 1984 " or it a page torn from Rove and Bush's play book.
        I am not condoning these actions, but maybe they were looking at such "right wing extremists" as the KKK, The Aryan brotherhood and others like them. They might also have been looking for tax evaders. I gladly pay my 22.8% and my GF gladly pays her 35+%. and we each make way less than 100k. do I want to give the ubber rich a tax break, not likely.

        Probably. They're going to have to hire many more agents since that term was painted with a big, broad brush and includes many libs, if they want to be honest about it.

        The FBI is serious about protecting citizens from right wing extremists including the faux noise inspired racist white supremacist joe the plumber rednecks NRA militia successionist morons that are inspired by hate speech from Glen Goebbles Bech and other right wing billionaire financed propanda.

        Just today, a marine was arrested with a loaded gun and bomb making equipment in an airport. Remember Tim McVey, there's a great republican patriot for you, brainwashed by 5 years of listening to Drug Limpboy on armed forces radio screaming about UN black helicopters and whatever else you tinfoil hat wearing right wing trailer trash shout at Caribu Barbie ralies for anti-abortion.

        The right wing cons left after the brains pulled out of the GOP when the evangelicals and their abortion clinic bomber white trash took over are a bunch of lockstepping brownshirts and they are taking marching orders from Hanity and Drug addicted AM radio racist hatemongers.

        The tea bag BS was organized by billionaires and righte wing billionaires, funded and propogated by faux noise, for the purpose of MAKE THE RICH RICHER, the one and only value cons have.

        I thought all this tea party stuff was covered by fox 24/7 for the last week or so. Why would the FBI need to "spy" on anyone?? Poor right wing cons. They so want to feel important again. Look at us, look at us we are still relevant. The cartoon from the NYT says it all.

        Anti,

        You seem very obsessed with Timoth McVEIGH (correct spelling).
        I just wanted to let you know that yesterday was the 14th anniversary of the bombing.

        As usual, a service was held at the OKC memorial, just like every year since the bombing. To my knowledge, Timoth McVEIGH's name has never been mentioned at these services, only the evil that occurred that day. Also not mentioned is McVeigh's political affiliation or specific idealogies.

        What that service focuses on are the names and lives of 168 people that died that day. It focuses on the families left behind. It focuses on the bravery of the firemen, policemen, doctors, nurses and sundry volunteers who stepped up to the plate that day. It focuses on the unity and faith and courage of the people in the great state of Oklahoma on that dark day.

        We choose to commemorate the lives of the victims of the bombing. We choose to gather to us the peace and tranquility of the memorial site.....168 chairs around a reflecting pool with the lone silhouette of the survivor tree. We choose not to use Timothy McVeigh as a weapon against those who we disagree with. We choose not to revel in the horror of what happened that day so that we have a talking point on something as insignificant as a Propeller blog.

        Obviously, you choose a different strategy. But by all means elevate your hero.

        Good grief a few,maybe a couple hundred thousand get together to protest the governments wasting Trillions on bail outs of our richest citizens,and it's a non story.However when Cindy Sheehan,and less than a hundred pi$$ idiots have a protest, the main stream media out number the protester week after week non stop rhetorical accounts of their duty to cover events large,and small

        Instructions to liberals:

        "This may be some of the funniest **** I've read in ages. It goes like this: we are so scared of a couple dozen wingnuts getting together to teabag, that a shadowy conspiracy of saboteurs and billionaires are conspiring to disrupt their kinky sex parties powerful protests.

        So we essentially have a bevy of pundit-wannabes courageously spurring brigades of like-minded folks into a new American revolution that will stem back the tides of socialism unleashed by the foreign-born communist and gun-grabber in the White House, all of it in the face of a powerful cabal fearful of what might happen if some people got together to wave tea bags. Or something like that -- coherence isn't their strongest suit. Neither is reality.

        For the next 9 days, the left-wing blogosphere and left-wing clueless pundits will hammer away with their unreality-based Tea Party smears.

        And on the ground, the tax-subsidized and Soros-subsidized troops are going to try and wreak havoc every way they can. Many readers and fellow bloggers have seen signs that ACORN may send in ringers and saboteurs to usurp the anti-tax, anti-reckless spending, anti-bailout message.

        Soros? ACORN? Huh? Thers explains:

        Why must [George Soros] be constantly spending his vast ill-gotten fortune in a secretive and shadowy fashion in order to spread rumors and lies that there is some shadowy secretive conspiracy behind the actions of political opponents? He's always doing that. Fortunately Malkin is above such tactics, and duly provides proof of the Soros-ACORN sabotage-scheme, in the form of a link to a blog that links to a message board where a random commenter says that ACORN is up to no good. CASE CLOSED. I mean, obviously this is not just paranoid gibberish; the commenter certainly sounds like she's very calm, collected, and sensible:
        Groups like ACORN and CODEPINK are nothing but Anti-American criminal organizations. BEWARE. I just stocked up on Pepper spray at http://shop.christmascentral.com/... JUST IN CASE

        And, yes, that is a real link to an online Christmas Ornament shopping site, one that does indeed sell pepper spray, although, regrettably, this pepper spray is not holiday-themed.

        Ahh. Ok. So the "signs" some people are "seeing" are in reality the paranoid voices in their heads. Seems pretty airtight a case, no matter how much ACORN's director says, "huh?" Playing dumb would certainly be part of ACORN's dastardly plan! And it would similarly be part of the White House's plan, which according to the delusional wingers, is also in on the plan with Nixonian schemes to disrupt the winger gatherings and deprive the world of fantastic comic relief.

        Now if there was truly a nefarious ACORN/Soros plot to disrupt the teabaggers, I'd be the first to fight back against those efforts. Why deny ourselves such comedy gold? Every time they gather in public places, we get material like this to work with:

        continued (liberal instructions)
        So build your papier-mâché tea bags, wingers! We can never laugh enough at your expense.

        Still, there's something a little bit off kilter about this whole craziness, and I think Atrios figured it out:

        I was talking with BooMan tonight about how dumb and empty right wing bloggers are these days. I suggested that the equivalent on our side would have been if in 2003 left wing bloggers spent all their time talking about their designs for the giant puppets they were going to bring to the anti-war demonstrations.

        Yup, that's it. Back in our early years, we had better things to do with our time, like organizing for upcoming elections -- the things that actually matter in our modern political system. But the wingers have never been much for electoral organizing, what with their dreams of becoming the next Rush-Limbaugh style media sensation. Their single-minded obsession with punditry leaves little room for the hard work of fighting for an electorally viable Republican Party. And given that it's their ideology specifically that has made them toxic to the voters, they'd have to come up with ideas and whatnot. That wouldn't exactly play to their strengths, know what I'm saying? I mean, their best idea right now is to wave tea bags.

        So the poor saps at the Next Right -- the closest thing on the Right they have to what we were doing back in 2002 -- are pretty much ignored and marginalized, while the rest of the conservative netroots is reading from Code Pink's playbook, working hard to replicate their stunning failure at relevancy.

        Bizarre, but hilarious.

        There area few reasons I applaud the "Tea Parties".
        The fact that that number of folks, that are critical of this kind of crap, is growing is significant to me.

        FTA

        "Listen to what I am saying,” stated the source during an interview with Doug Hagmann, founder (NEIN). “The Department of Homeland Security Intelligence Assessment that is receiving so much attention is just the tip of the proverbial iceberg, and the true patriotic citizens of this country are on the Titanic. This is what bothers me. But is goes far beyond that assessment. There have been very significant changes made over the last few years that redirect the focus and assets of the intelligence community internally. These changes have greatly accelerated under this administration, and the threats have been redefined to include those who used to be patriots. It’s not only chilling but absolutely insulting to God-fearing Americans.”

        This is about the funniest garbage I've read lately.
        Illegal wiretaps were okay ?? The suspension of Habeus Corpus was okay ?? Are these the God fearing Americans who used to be thought of as Patriots ??

        Please buy a clue somewhere. This crud has been going on since Hoover was in charge and dancing around in his ladies attire. But back then it was okay, because he was going after the commies.
        America can survive terrorist threats, it can survive taxation, it can't survive the undermining of the constitution that has been happening with ever greater intensisty.

        There are patriots on both sides of the political arena, the true patriots hate what is happening to our country, not just by the political parties but by the forces outside of this nation that inject their poison into our freedoms, that try to say America must resort to what the Fascist and Communist leaders did in order to maintain her freedoms.

        If you really love America you will stop playing politics before it is to late.
