AFP, Sheboygan and TEA (Twisted Enough Already) Parties

The Chief did some homework and found that one of the speakers at AFP's Sheboygan TEA (Twisted Enough Already) Parties was a perfect fit for the lunatic fringe.

The speaker in question, Dr. Phil Zimmerman* is not only involved in a group that endorses seceding from the union (channeling the Palins, no doubt) but is also a 9/11 Truther.

Given their jubilation over the weekend over the resignation of Van J0nes, one would think that they could at least show a modicum of consistency. But then again, they haven't for a while now, so why should I expect them to start now?

*Not to be confused with that other crackpot Dr. Phil.

  1. If the guy is a Truther, shouldn't have been there. Your disparaging reference to the so-called TEA Party folks isn't warranted. Or is it wrong to believe that we're taxed too much as it is? Is it wrong to expect our 'leaders', of either party, to at least look like they listen to us, or read the bills, or fake some reverence to The Constitution? If it is, then America is truly done.

  2. That is not what they are about, Bill. You should have recognized that by now. Taxes is the cover story, but these people cross the line in what they say and what they do.

  3. Really. How so? Have they broken the law? What have they done that is so despicable? Secession has it's supporters in Texas and in either Vermont or New Hampshire, I can't remember which. There are those who also protest the Government mandateing ussues that belong to the States. So what have they done that has much of the left so demented over them? Have there been kooks? Yes. Are there kooks on the left? Yes. So, what's the problem? Do you lump them in with the few loons and discount all their arguments?

  4. Bill, the problem is simply their irresponsible, and often untrue, rhetoric. They do the right no favors with their public tantrums. Yelling down an opponent, without even giving them a chance to respond, is not mature behavior.

    Their agenda is not to have a discussion regarding health care reform in a responsible way. Their agenda is to feed into the fear and schmear routine.
