[Vision2020] Moscow Tea Party

[g. crabtree]

Mrs. Lund,

You're funny. Where do you come by your uncanny ability to ken what it is I 
"really mean?" I mean really, had you palpitated the lumps on my noggin or 
examined the road map of my palms it would be one thing but, to divine my 
inner most being having never met me or knowingly been within a 100 yards of 
me is absolutely astounding!

The Astroturf quip was also quite droll. Did Mrs. Pelosi get that line from 
you? I'd hate to think that you are simply and mindlessly parroting the 
party line joke of the day. Just like the "tea bag" gag. At least the put 
down de jour isn't in as poor a taste as the one you wrote for Rachel Maddow 
and MSNBC.

Good thing you're willing to just put on your big boy pants as you should.
Otherwise we could certainly have a field day with the unending string of
offense from you.

For instance, I'm offended by your repeated use of "anti-abortion" when what
you really mean is anti-choice because those of us who are pro-choice
certainly aren't pro-abortion.

It's offensive when you call yourself "pro second amendment" when what you
really mean is that the Second Amendment as it exists in the Constitution
isn't good enough for you -- what you really are is pro Second Amendment on
steroids.

It's offensive that you try to portray your desire for only the aspects of
government that *you* want as being any kind of objective belief in "less
government is better government."

And, of course, your efforts to rename Friendship Square as "NSA Square" are
offensive, although it is quite telling and perhaps even appropriate given
the attitude of the NSA/Christ Church crowd.

I'm just putting it out there -- feel free to continue to enjoy your
teabagging.

Perhaps you'd best direct your complaint to the astro-turfers who are
attempting to co-op a populist movement to turn that movement into something
it was *never* intended to be.

Not that I expect that the folks who use the term care but, I and everyone I

know that was involved with the 15 April gathering find the term "teabagger"

offensive in the extreme. Of course, I'm fairly certain that was the
intention, a deliberate attempt by the MSM to reduce millions of concerned
tax payers to the subject of a sick, ribald joke. Please don't
misunderstand, I'm not asking anyone to modify their speech (not that they
would) I'm just putting it out there. Carry on.
