    Republicans are playing class warfare by trying to insinuate the problem is with the poor.

    The Republican media is lockstep in line with teh GOP. It ain't news, it's full-out propaganda

    Why Nancy call the Tea Party AstroTurf but thinks the wall street protesters are all that and a slice of bread?

    I don't know about you but as Americans suffer and things just keep getting worse and worse i am really tired of the name calling between the two parties and all the hypocrisies on both sides.

    I never heard a Reb news caster call them hippies.

    The tea party had direction and a cause.....the hippies just want everything for free and you not to eat meat.

    Because the rule of thumb with a growing populist movement is first, ignore; second, make fun of.

    Third, deal with it.
