1. I missed it.
Too bad they weren't honest about the numbers. I heard it was nearly double that. Did they show the tractors?

Still amazing they mentioned it at all.

5. HLN mentioned it for a second. Managed to use negative
adjective to describe the heroic senators. She called them "defiant" senators. I suppose that is what Hitler would have called any leader that "defied" him as well.

8. That's funny. I don't have a problem with "defiant" at all..........
In fact I'm feeling pretty damn defiant myself. This ain't over by a long shot. Get out on Tuesday in your local area and SHOW them it ain't over. I'll be there!

9. Yeah, we're all pretty defiant ...about being stomped on
fer cripe's sake, it's a good thing to the media when the teabaggers are shouting and acting like lunatics, but peaceful rallies and protests about workers' rights, oooh, that's defiant. And anyone supporting them, like the democratic 14, that's defiant too.
