A surprisingly subued GB at the site of America’s Masada finds the nearest guitar hero/libertarian and queries him as to whether he’s in favor big government or not. Surprise: Not. Always a good idea to give air time to people who have invited the president to suck on his gun.

No, your statement make you look like and even bigger troll. You still haven’t answered how you can absolve so many on the left for draft dodging and hold Nugent to account. But I suppose those on the left have never needed a justification for a double standard. You guys live on them. Nugent deals with his shortcomings and embarrassments head-on. You just avoid yours. That makes you a lot bigger coward than him.

I need an edit function…drop first conservative…

There are worse things than dying, Ted Nugent. With my little ring I can take you apart molecule by molecule and then put you back together again. And maybe I put you back together right and maybe I don’t. But you’ll be alive and conscious for every second of it.

Today I have witnessed to most coordinated Troll Seige on Hot Air since I have been here. They are all trying deperately to de-rail the Tea Party Threads and are all epically failing. From Getaclue to Strange Brew to Cappy (Deb Frisch), they cannot accomplish their goal. They are all very miserable people having a very miserable day.
Pitiful. Just Pit-i-ful.
God Bless America!

I WAS THERE! IT WAS AWESOME!! Whew, just had to get that out of my system. I was at the Alamo from 11 am today until 8pm, and I just want to tell ALL you HAers, it was a most excellent experience. EVERYONE was very well behaved, we were all friendly, polite and had a great time! Best of all was the fact that we could freely express our opinions – what a great country. People were passionate but not ugly. Over and over again the organizers and ALL speakers emphasized that this is NOT about Democrats or Republicans, but about Government spending, taxation – ok I am singing to the choir here, I know. No one talked down America, yet everyone “got the point”, we need to REFORM our government.
If I can find out how to send pics, I took a million. The signs were varied and imaginative.

The essence of the Tea Parties as I see it is this. There is frustration and worry about runaway Federal spending that saddles devastating debt on future generations and protesting the swallowing of private industry by the Feds.
So trolls, explain why you now support massive debt and nationalization of the private sector.
You know, give us subtance and reason.

Ah, so the stupid things Kerry said and did when he was young and stupid are unforgivable and an indication of bad character, but Ted Nugent gets a pass. How amazingly retarded.
Dave Rywall on April 15, 2009 at 9:49 PM

Kerry was running for office.
Nugent is not.

They are zombiefied. Nothing short of deprogramming will help them. I dare to say 2012 is not even a thought in their minds. Did you see the CNN reporter, its typical to get exactly that reaction when you question anything “the won” does. They feel as though you personally attack them. Try it and they swarm on you like flesh eating scarabs.

Virtually every diary on kos is about the tea parties.
They keep saying that the msm is covering it all day when just a few people are attending while millions protested the war and weren’t covered at all LMAO
ArmyAunt on April 15, 2009 at 10:05 PM
They can’t. That’s the inherent problem with statism/collectivism. Their attitude is that we are selfish for wanting to keep our money that we earned. Yet they have no problem giving money to individuals that did not earn it. Go figure.
Here’s another typical statist/collectivist response to the tea party.
I think we’ve tried that before.

doriangrey on April 15, 2009 at 10:08 PM
Hey, does anybody remember when the left was cool with draft dodgers and people who refused to serve? Remember how cool they were with those American soldiers who went to Canada to avoid serving in Iraq. And those were people who volunteered to serve in the armed forces. They were heroes to the left.
Wait, I think there was someone else too. Oh yeah, President Clinton. That’s when draft dodgers were really cool. Now, I guess, they are scum. Just remember, though, that the left actually elected one President. And he never even admitted that he regretted dodging the draft. At least Nugent has grown up and regrets it. And nobody on our side is saying that Nugent should be President.
The left loves draft dodgers, except when they don’t.

My father still hasn’t forgiven Hendrix for doing that.

Aww have a bit of pity,the trolls are very upset at the teapartying today. They are just realizing that today was not only a rousing success, it was also a dry run and permanent connections were made. It only gets bigger and better from here on in.
canditaylor68 on April 15, 2009 at 10:10 PM
DRywall is Canadian. But judging from his politics, he probably did find a way to vote for every Democrat he could in our elections.
Hawthorne on April 15, 2009 at 10:10 PM
You know what is strange?
When liberals complain about the “privileged” not serving in the military.
Strangely enough, it is their fault.
In the WWII era, more than 90 percent of Princeton’s graduating class in 1942 (I believe) enlisted.
Today?
Heh.
blatantblue on April 15, 2009 at 10:11 PM
I’ve been pissed at Ted for the infamous vids of him behaving poorly with firearms at his concerts, but I must say, that was a very good job he did there in that interview.
Beck almost seemed out of his element.
toliver on April 15, 2009 at 10:11 PM
DRywall probably got his Canadian citizenship by running to Canada to avoid the Vietnam war…
doriangrey on April 15, 2009 at 10:12 PM
Thanks for saving me the effort of posting that for the 7th or 8th time. Some refuse to believe what he said later. Odd that they would choose to believe what he said when he was a liberal, but not what he said when he became a conservative.
Did Beck talk with Penn Jillette at all? I know he was there.
MadisonConservative on April 15, 2009 at 10:12 PM
I love our trolls. It is always fascinating to see how people that devoid of logic and ethics can justify anything at all. It is a brilliant study in how blind people can be.

They are just so worked up about the tea parties. Wetting their pants they are. Yammering about Ted Nugent and draft dodgers and dumb conservatives. Can’t you just see them getting all nervous and sweaty and excited and stuff? Not a pretty sight, not at all.

benny:
Hell, if the Democrats can run a draft dodger for President as well as a man who threw his metals over a wall and called his fellow soldiers murderers, I fail to see why a guy like Ted Nugent can not appear in public and speak his mind. It is not as if he wants to be Commander in Chief.
Terrye on April 15, 2009 at 10:16 PM
Nothing scares the Left more than seeing ordinary, hard working Americans take to the streets. They know they are sincere. They know they aren’t being paid to be there. They know they aren’t there looking for handouts or patronage jobs. They know they are there because they are fed up and want REAL change. The kind of change that makes their attempts to truly control this country that much harder. Tonight I can smell the fear in the air.
TheBigOldDog on April 15, 2009 at 10:16 PM
The trolls are fighting the closest thing they will ever see to a real battle right now. They are in a battle trance and soon to enter a berserker state. That is the only thing I can think of to explain their incoherence anyway.

This troll barrage was started during B-Ho’s 2 year campaign. They would show up at the least little mention of dear leader’s name and spout the usual talking points. It seems some of his little basement dwellers haven’t caught on that the election is over. Or maybe they found it more thrilling than pounding their pud all by themselves.
R D on April 15, 2009 at 10:18 PM
The other difference is that Nugent grew up and showed regret and remorse for what he did.
Get back to me when John Kerry apologizes for slandering his fellow troops. And, of course, if he did ever apologize, you lefties would immediately abandon him and turn on him like you did Liebermann.

I saw this over at Instapundit:
KANSAS CITY STAR: Desperate to Dismiss The Tea Parties. “Democrats and other skeptics are desperate to dismiss the tea parties that popped up across the country today. . . . This eagerness to explain away this movement is telling, suggesting the skeptics see these gatherings as a real threat. Certainly the tea parties have an anti-Obama slant, but what we’re seeing is something outside the normal dynamics of Democrat-Republican tension. . . . It isn’t clear yet what the tea party movement is all about, but it can’t be dismissed as something that simply arose from shadowy GOP organizers.”
Terrye on April 15, 2009 at 10:20 PM
You obviously have not been watching American liberals. No dissent is allowed over here. Straight party line with no deviations. The libs over here even feed on their own when they decide the time is right. Witness Joe Leiberman.

Put it this way: a French farmer protest with 200 tractors and a bunch of manure dumped around Paris gets more policy change than “2300″ impotent back-patting teabagging parties.

Deanna on April 15, 2009 at 10:27 PM
The more the left mock and make fun of something, the more I know it is striking a chord.
I was on kos earlier and they were all posting diaries saying how pathetic the meetups were, how there were very few people there and how it isn’t a grassroots thing it’s an “astroturf” thing, whatever the hell that means.
ArmyAunt on April 15, 2009 at 10:27 PM
“a French farmer protest with 200 tractors and a bunch of manure dumped around Paris”
Considering that the French government always capitulates unconditionally to a brigade of manure spreaders, perhaps you should change your comparison — unless you mean that you think these protests will, in fact, be effective.
“impotent back-patting teabagging parties.”
Sounds more like you’re reliving your last weekend escapade in the city park mens’ rooms, than actually observing today’s protests. Projection is hard to avoid, I guess.
notropis on April 15, 2009 at 10:27 PM
I had to drop down the difficultly level to unlock ‘Nuge in Guitar Hero World Tour, but it was worth it to see him singing “Drive” by Incubus with Fake Sting, Fake Zakk Wylde, and Fake Billy Corgan in his backing band.

Okay,
It’s gettin thick in here.
I suppose the fact that TN came out of his soiled clothes whilst the majority of the donothins remain in theirs is lost upon you turds.
I saw an Uncle Sam twerp in full dress today carrying a sign that was pasted together with 4-6 matte boards on a big pvc frame. His plain dressed gfrnd carried another like made.
His sign read:
Social Programs
=/SocialismHers was something like:
No Taxes = …
no police
no library
no whatever
no whatever (wasn’t real interested after 1-2 lines of the 8-10 listed)
I was walking back to my car as the pair passed by me in the parking lot. Miss libby gleefully said to her beau:
“At least our signs were bigger!”
And therein is the crux of the matter. Size matters.
SINK THE PIRATES OF THE POTOMAC!
OkieDoc on April 15, 2009 at 10:30 PM
Nugent is AWESOME.
Ya know … I like how Allah trashes our Conservative “heros on the edge”.
It’s really a politeness that is not shared on the left – I’m still waiting for someone on the left to trash Michael Moore.
But it’s just such politeness as Allah’s that has kept Conservatives in the majority and in control of this country. Because the people want leadership from nice people who say nice things – and call out their own when they go a bit over board. American’s would never vote for a radical philosophy or for candidates who endorsed, or were silent about the excess of Mike Moore.
Oh wai …

therightwinger on April 15, 2009 at 10:36 PM
Actually Dave, I think you should mind your own damn business. I am not aware of any Americans harassing Canadians about their politics, so why not return the favor.
And what do you care anyway? Oh I get it, you want Obama to succeed in destroying America so that Canada can buy it cheap when the bankruptcy sale takes place. Right?
As for those French farmers, I fail to see the connection. Afraid you lost me there.
Terrye on April 15, 2009 at 10:37 PM
To the extent that we impact all other countries. Does coming here being a pain in the hindquarters change anything? Do you get special whine privileges because your close but still don’t get to vote?
Cindy Munford on April 15, 2009 at 10:38 PM
Yes, that is right Dave, the conservatives are not doing too badly in Canada right now are they? Maybe you should clean your own house before you sully ours.
The interesting thing is that some Canadian seems to think he has more right to comment on our political system than actual Americans do. Sanctimonious little Canuck.
