Crow sister,

Yes, a member of the Tea Party did spit on a black congressman... Members of the Tea Party did yell "nigger" at several black congressmen and yes, members of the Tea Party yelled "faggot" at a gay Congressman...

Now the righties are ashamed and so they have invented a story where by lefties infiltrated the Tea Party and carried out these acts... That is pure mythology on their part...

LH,

As for Dylan??? I love his music but he was a AWOL in the 60s and early 70s on issues ranging from Civil Rights to the anti-war movement... Hey, it's one thing to write the songs but if yer not willing to take any additional steps then something wrong... I mean, Dylan was totally into himself and couldn't have cared less about helping to promote causes that his songs suggested had some feelings about... I mean, it wouldn't have hurt him one bit to show a little engagement with the causes of those where were buying his music...
