"Fact: I started a thread about the Tea Party in terms of how similar it is to the KKK.."

Sorry Bobert, but I don't buy that one....you'd have to stretch the metaphor pretty thin to sell it. While I totally agree with most of your ideals and positions, you can't just refer in an off-hand way to a presumed connection like that.

Do the Teapartyers and the KKK have 'some' similar logic and 'some' similar attitudes? Sure....but that wasn't clarified OR explained sufficiently in your first post. "Hating Obama" is 'maybe' true of some of them, but even that, IF it were true, doesn't raise it to KKK status. You can't get so outraged that you resort to tossing off the wost label you can think of, or you end up playing THEIR game. THEY call Obama names and make stupid references...and as long as THEY are doing it, WE can shame THEM.
