Yeah, it's quite common, particularly when quoting someone from an administration who likes to bury the relevant information deep within a mountain of blather.

More nonsense to distract the public from the real debate. Expect this sort of thing to get more and more play as the elections near, because the liberals in power want to talk about anything but the crappy economy, the debt, the record deficits, the failed stimulus, the trillions in unfunded entitlements, and the expansion of the federal government's powers. Their tactic is to distract and change the debate. Muddy the waters. The libs are experts at this sort of tactic. We can't "out racist" them, and beat them at their own game. Stop trying. Stick to whats relevant.

And here we are, wasting time talking about this crap instead of what the Tea Party set out to debate. While we sit here like high school kids, offended at something and reinforcing each other's beliefs that we have it firgured out, nobody debates the debt, the record deficits, and the growth of the federal government. Look at how easily the liberals have distracted everyone from the real issues.

They repudiate the "racist elements" in the Tea Party. That's fine. The Tea Partiers also repudiate the racist elements. We also repudiate the racist elements within the NAACP, and they should repudiate them as well. They didn't come out and say that the entire Tea Party movement was racist, and there are bound to be racist elements to a movement that now includes more than 30% of the American public, so they didn't lie.

That said, it's a blatant attempt to deflect the debate from what's relevant. The crappy economy, the rising debt, deficit, unsustainable entitlements, and the growth of our federal government. The NAACP is too shallow and dull to address those things. Instead, they issue thoughtless Democratic Party line articles like this:

I don't begrudge them this attempt to latch onto the Tea Party to gain some relevancy. They're a dinosaur, and they need funding. Attacking the Tea Party might get them a few donations. But, ultimately, they're irrelevant. Keep the conversation economy and the debt.

The NAACP is a political advocacy group, not a non-profit. Time to yank their tax exemption.

That's the problem with poets. They're passionate, but never practical.

I can add a couple more reasons like the fact that there is still no transparency, so investors are flyuing blind when investing in banks, and second, because the banking functions are still tied to the gambling end, so that, if a gamble fails, the FDIC insured part of the bank goes down with the gamblers. It's just plain stupid.

I keep hearing that West Virginia is a Republican state, but every time I turn around, they're electing a liberal. I hope the article is right, but I'm not betting on it. You can bet your ass that right now, Obama is on the phone with that Democratic Governor, twisting his arm to appoint someone who's favorable to the Obama agenda, and we know the administration isn't above threats of any kind. We'll see, but I'm notholding my breath.

But...but...Obama's lowering taxes for everyone! Right?

Screw Europe. This ia America. I am so freakin' sick of watching what the damn Europeans do. I would love to see taxes lowered, but we're gonna have to make some SERIOUS cuts if we're gonna do that, because we have way too much spending going on right now to expect the economy to grow enough to pay for all of it on top of tax cuts. Something's gotta give.

The NY Times is a freakin' joke. I shredded one of their articles paragraph by paragraph here:

They don't even try any more. At least other liberal papers like the Washington Post at least put up some pretense of being open to other views by featurng authors like Krauthammer. These losers are just so far in the tank for the lefties that it makes then a farce.
