7. agreed
It takes more than 26s to make any kind of intelligent point and at least a few more seconds for the person to counter. This is no pwnage, its just you shouting insults at a tea baggers.

Lame

11. +100 The only person "owned" is the one recording himself being an ass. Why not
talk to the person. I'd be much more interested in hearing the guy's reasoning, however faulted I may consider it to be.

6. "How many times have you been dropped on your head?" Guy answers: "Free speech my friend!"
LOL - Besides not being able to spell, he has no critical thinking capacity either. He's right that he has free speech to say whatever the hell he wants but another person questioning his intelligence is not a challenge to his free speech rights. That is a fine point many teabaggers fail to understand.

8. The true power behind the Wisconsin protests
__________
by: David D. Leeper
Saturday 12 March 2011

The protests in Wisconsin have focused on whether the state of Wisconsin will take away the right of government workers to bargain collectively. However, government does not "give" workers the right to strike, nor the right to bargain collectively. That right is inherent in every human being's right to decide what he or she will, or will not, do. No power short of death can take away this inherent right. Gov. Scott Walker and his Republican Legislature may be able to rescind the rules that govern strikes and collective bargaining, but they cannot take away the right to strike or bargain collectively.

Workers have used strikes, walkouts, boycotts and even sabotage successfully to exert this inherent power. Our social contract is based on the consent of the governed and it does not take many to deny either an employer or the government that consent. The collective bargaining rules of the last century were developed by the government as a way to control, regulate and mitigate the power of organized working people. The rules have served us well and Wisconsin has benefited by avoiding crippling public and private strikes.

9. Remember the scene in Monty Python's "Life of Brian"
when he gets caught writing graffiti by a Roman soldier? Then the soldier takes up his writing instrument and corrects his bad Latin. Maybe some of those teachers in Wisconsin should do the same to those signs.

10. Do we need to see any more of these videos to know
that these tea-baggers are stupid and crazy?

13. Koch Bro's "Troublemaker"?
If you're actually a progressive (the things you say make me wonder - "retards"?) you're making us look bad, Bro. Your verbal attacks are actually turning those misguided TPers into sympathetic figures in your videos.

I wouldn't be surprised to see these clips shown on F-NEWS as examples of what bullies the "union thugs" are. You may be getting your jollies, but you're just inviting a reaction that will hurt the cause. All we need is one fistfight for Walker to bring in the National Guard.

18. So much for "quality" and "doing the job right"...
So he feels real strongly, but not enough to put any effort into getting his sign right.
