I recognize that Coulter is wily in her ways, that she's successful financially and that's she's a known figure whether you love her or hate her. 

But she's still dumber than a box of rocks if she actually believes anything she says.

And Jeff you add your name to Joesph's in this post because it is directed to you too.

So now you've finally gotten around to naming names, have you?  I've been watching your bizarre mission to extract words of condemnation for nearly two weeks, and your unmodified link-campaign for far longer.  Your open hostility for the Tea-Party movement has been on full display since last April, and you continue to betray your own vulgarity with the term you've chosen to describe the movement.  If you'll recall, you and I have repeatedly engaged one another on the matter, but that was before you spun off the rails.  
There are many reasons I chose not to respond to your demands of 23 march.  Among them are:
1. I do not participate in witch-hunts.  I know who I am, and I have no need to prove it to anyone else.  Just a bit of extrapolation, if you've chosen to read my words, should provide sufficient framework of my identity.
2. I speak for no man but myself, and no man speaks for me.
3. There are certain things that do not register as terribly important to me.  For instance, take this statement I made on page 96 of Let's Talk Politics and extrapolate further: Like I said earlier, bias in news coverage doesn't even register on my "needs to be commented upon" radar.  From time to time, I'll set the record straight, but rarely will I ever worry about anything beyond an establishment of truth.  And you want me to comment on the individual words of non-policy makers?
4. The tone of your demand was blatantly hostile and I don't respond to hostility.

With all of that said, however, what you believe, or perhaps wish to lead others to believe, about Sean Hannity in regard to the video clip you posted, required such a blind leap into the absurd that you got me to bite; so there you have it.  And as such, now that I have, I imagine that you'll probably have questions about my response; so feel free to ask.  But keep in mind, you probably would have received a response to your demand of 23 March, from me at least, if you had framed it as such:
Joseph, what do you think about the matters covered in these links?

What kind of blind leap is required to understand that Hannity was using the words "Tim McVeigh wannabes" as a compliment? It's what he said. It's how he said it. It's all right there. I for one didn't take a leap. What do you think he meant?

Coulter is a show, like a circus.  She doesn't seem serious at all.  Sort of like some of the other rage balls we see here Al.

First of the liberal left to call for Obama's impeachment and make the case for it.  There will be more.

As I said, most rank and file Democrats, hate Obama and everything he stands for.

Joesph I don't think I have for once, tapped danced around my feeling that the tea party is nothing but a veiled hate filled attack on democrats and Obama, riddled with racists and home grown terrorist that are Timothy McVeigh wanna be's, and I believe if he was still alive, he would be right there in Washington with that group. I am so disappointed in all republicans that have stayed silent during all these heinous acts. 

What I have been trying to get is someone on the right to even acknowledge that bad behavior from the right, but you all stay quiet, seriously how do you sleep knowing there are those out there in the tea bag camp doing really disgusting things. Like attacking handicap guys, plotting terrorist attacks on cops and  FLYING PLANES INTO BUILDINGS!!!!!!!!!!!  I am not talking against free speech you all seem to think this all falls under, it is violence.

Is it OK that they carry racists signs, you betcha, that falls under free speech, but it also proves who is holding the sign, a racist.  As I have used the signs in this thread to prove my point that it is some of the motivation, for this movement. I wish more of those in that group would be truthful with why they are there.   

I see Jeff never did respond to the video I posted about someone yelling "Nigger go home" to a black congresswoman standing on the balcony of the House. But then, he is well known on here to put his fingers in his ears and repeating over and over "Fox is fair and balanced, Fox is fair and balanced" when conforted with proof  to the completely biased world of Fox news. 

Ann Coulter has every right to speak in Canada, how was she stopped?

Micheal where is the info about your campaign? I love how you crazies work, say on the internet you are a democrat and then spew random tea bag crap.  Unless you can prove what you say is the truth, you are nothing but a liar.

Edited to add: by proof, I mean show us where you ran for office and ran a campaign.

Wayde your response on the subject of Ann Coulter is perfect and exactly how I feel.
Thanks for a great post.

Guys, guys .... woah.

First? Do we negotiate with terrorists? No? Then why are
you debating these clowns?

Second: there's right, there's wrong, and there's the game.
We can all come together and sing kumbaya because it's
right, but remember, you'll be singing alone.

The important thing here? We got out talking point. We
won. They can cry all they want, you just need the talking
point.

And we got it. On video no less. Republicans : Terrorists.
Let's see how that helps them in November.

Unless Obama can make millions of jobs return by November he is going to lose seats.  

Not everyone who opposes Obama is a racist.  That is silly.

Matthew I do share your outrage at the military funerals protests, I think the parents should be able to enter the funerals without seeing those signs and I completely approve of the veterans joining together to block out the hateful signs.  But do they have a right to stand peacefully and protest, yes they do. They are religious nutjobs, but I think if they are coming onto private property to do so, they are breaking the law and should be stopped. But if their protest is there to insight violence, than they should have to have a designated area to protest, like the klan has.

Am I against violent actions in the environmental movement, absolutely. The same with a protest against Bush or the war.

And the G-20 summits seems filled with crazies and I do not support them at all.

I,too, am offended by some of the hateful signs at the Tea Party

peaceful assembly.

But I don't feel signs that encourage violence, is protected as free speech, don't they fall under the same thing as someone yelling fire in a crowded movie theater?

Some of you "democrats" seem to want to abolish speech that offends you.  Interesting.

Jodi, let's be very clear on this thing:

Of course, not all ballinmouthers - sorry - teahajidsts?
Terrorists? What do they want to be called again? Palin-
Americnans? Whatever - not all of them are terrorists nuts
or loons. There are a lot of terrified people out there.

And that's the problem. These people are being fed lies
and they're shitting their pants in fear. FOX feeds them lies,
then FOX sponsors a rally that makes them more afriad, etc.

These things are the issue. These terrified people are
screaming about how the black man raised their taxes,
when, in fact, their taxes were cut! The biggest middle class
tax cut in American history and they're forming a
movement based on something that didn't happen.

That is the issue with the teaparties. And at this point,
shouting the truth isn't helping so we need to lower
ourselves to their level and start making them more afriad
of them then us.

That's what's going on.

Did you hear, by the way, that Republicans support rape
and spend party funds in bondage clubs?
