And as you know, the plutocrats are all about, money money money, more more more, now now now. Teabaggers very rarely speak out against the class war being waged by the rich on the working class; all they care about is social issue bullshit.

If these useful-idiot revolutionaries continue to gnaw on the ass of the govt, it's nothing but win for the plutocrats.

The media won't call the attacks terrorism because this craziness serves the interests of the PTB. This insane anti-government sentiment is being cultivated by the political right. Just watch five minutes of Fox "News" to see several examples. The Teabagger Wing Nuts® are the new brown shirts.

sedition [si-dish-uhn] noun Dictionary.com
1.incitement of discontent or rebellion against a government.
2.any action, especially in speech or writing, promoting such discontent or rebellion.
3.Archaic. rebellious disorder.
I agree with Thom Hartmann, yet it was several years ago I recognized the whole radio day shift, and evening shift is loaded with Journalistic fascist reporters.
Today Fox news has more and glitzier puff magic dragon news and propaganda. Only today many more youngsters are privy to the news game.
Fox News had reporting that spewed out hatred with dynamics to overturn the basic government, or what now is realize as delivering manufactured phony sophistry, offering subtle , tricky, superficially plausible, but generally fallacious method of reasoning, with all sides of false argument sophism.
Young people listen to this stuff and form hatreds early with the desire to form relations especially with a blowhard like Bundy.
Bundy has land and money to support a movement no matter how dangerous the Journalism and outright fraud in news media. We all know this a strikingly lost age in cognitive reasoning. This shows with grandstanding GOP big tent display in the Bundy culture. Its not hard it connect Bundy as the worn down version of Slim Pickens the oil Barron, they are of the same cut, just listen.
Yep, Bundy has that same decider attitude our George Bush once had. Better Bundy has that same ripe attitude Cheney had to be able to shoot a Judge in the face, we all know Cheneys aim is bad ever since America invaded the wrong country. Like Rick Perry says thats like stepping in it.
That whole southern draw is a tip off into a culture of sick minds. Now thats dam straight, you all get that.
Sure probably pressed a few hot buttons there so I apologize to those Southern people who are actually loaded with good sense that are helping to call out this crazy culture of sedition.
We Yankees have been call in out those Bush carpet baggers for a long time. If anyone is a perverted cowboy it has to be that Connecticut cowboy George Bush and family do in business profiteering with crazy cultures from the Islamic Bin Laden family all the way back to the Nazi party in the 1930s. This family is not a GOP party person, this family is a political crime syndicate.

Which won't call out Putin's RW terrorism against gays and minorities in Russia, or Putin's RW annexation of Crimea, or Putin's RW terrorism in eastern Ukraine! What hypocracy!!!
I'll embrace such statements from Reid, but from a pundit at Putin's media propoganda machine...Hell Fucking No!
