A great idea.

Only question is why, when so called progressives disagree with an idea, they don't just ignore it?

If an idiot like you or a jew want's to march up and down the street for immigrants or gay rights conservatives don't feel the need to throw a tantrum about your free speech.

But I guess you progressives have a problem with that free speech thing when you don't agree with the speech.

Heres an idea. Hold back a few of those douchebags for yourself. I detect a very fishy odor from this post!

How bout an original idea for a change too? Not something from your favorite whack job websites. K?

If an idiot like you or a jew want's to march up and down the street . . .

What your obsession with Jeff HairyAss?

1.  Please drop off douchebags in honor of Postman at your local US Post Office.

2.  Seems that Postman and AA think that only GOP'ers should be allowed to protest.  If someone wants to put together a counter protest, that is over the line in their narrow view of the world. 

3. Fox News says it is fair and balanced.  But they are PROMOTING these events.  Beck is fundraising. Have you seen anyone on MSNBC or CNN fundraising for a protest or promoting a demonstration for weeks on end.  I don't think so. 

And Postman, I fully expect that next time you disagree with one of my ideas, "You Just Ignore It."  Opps, too late.

I would also like to remind you of the counter protests that the GOPers put together to counter the protests of the marchers for immigrants. (See Pruitt's Furniture Store--Phoenix).

And some advice for Postman.  Your anti-semitic comments are making you look really, really bad.

1. Postman acts like progressives want to shut these down. I sure don't, but realize that the Boston Tea Party was about "taxation w/o representation", and even Republicans today have representation. So the analogy fails.
2. On this being corporate driven, please show me one time that NBC or CBS or CNN have lead  the efforts for a protest or done the fundraising, on air for any liberal cause. Whereas, Faux News / aka Republican Pravda are devoting how many hours daily for these teabagging parties?
3. A better form of protest Indie would be to find the groups supporting these efforts and their ad sponsors, and call them and hit them with phone calls, letters and online websites things. Also, find their 1 - 800 #'s and any item with a pre paid postage thing on it, and use it. 800 phone calls cost them money, those pre paid postage deals cost them money. If they wanna use their vast wealth to affect politics, then protest them right back.

My idea about sending douchebags was done tongue in cheek.  I was mocking the rather unfortunate term that the righties are using for their protest "Teabagging." 

MISUNDERSTANDING THE 'GRASSROOTS' CONCEPT.... Media Matters' Karl Frisch notes Glenn Beck's role in this week's Tea-bagging events. It points to a larger truth that often goes overlooked.

Beck isn't just helping with turnout. Discussing his participation in the upcoming protest at the Alamo in San Antonio on his syndicated radio program, Beck announced, "I'm going to do a fundraiser for them" to help defray costs. "So you can come and you can have lunch with me. ... I don't know any of the details, but I've heard it's like $500 a plate or something like that."

While the notion of someone paying $500 to have lunch near Glenn Beck is itself amusing, I think Oliver Willis captures the broader significance: "When people were protesting the Iraq War, they didn't have $500 a plate fundraisers. Then again, they didn't have sponsorship from Fox News, the backing of corporate lobbyists and the attendance of prominent conspiracy theorists like Alan Keyes."

Right. Even after all the teaching moments of the last decade or so, it seems the right still doesn't quite get the meaning of the word "grassroots." Conservatives still seem wedded to a top-down model.

We've seen this play out several times of late. Remember "Freedom's Watch"? Conservatives decided they needed their own version of MoveOn.org, so some loyal Bushies went to a right-wing billionaire for seed money, and the top-down game was in motion. The result, despite considerable hype, was a bust, and the far-right group has already folded.

There's some evidence to suggest the Tea Parties are following a similar trajectory. These right-wing events aren't just coming together naturally; they're the product of Fox News and corporate lobbyists. This is practically a textbook example of "astroturf." That Glenn Beck is charging $500 a plate to have lunch with him, to help subsidize the effort, only helps reinforce the larger dynamic.

Conservatives too often think, "We'll get some money together, deliver a right-wing message, and the grassroots will come together. It'll be awesome." Except, it never is.

This isn't to say turnout will necessarily be low on Wednesday; I wouldn't be surprised if far-right voters turned out in substantial numbers. The point is, corporate-sponsored events, thrown together with no clear purpose or specific aims, are not the foundation for a political movement or effective activism.

Once again I really don't care what Media Matters says. Time and again they take words out of context and write crap that ends up headlining Olberdorks and "thrill down the legs" nightly shows.

If you have your head so far up it that you don't see the constant promotion and coverage of all thing liberal by the likes of MSDNC, and the big three than you are a bigger fool than I thought. They show three whining c***s in pink every chance they get.

The so called antisemetic statements are designed  to point out that a hypocritical Jew on here likes to attack others with his ad hominen attacks and sand throwng tantrums. I will continue to refer to him as Hymie. Kike and anyhting else I please as long as he continues to use these whiney ass tactics. Ultimately I hope he will cut & run for the THIRD time.
