Wow, I'd love to buy Larry a beer if I'm ever in Boston.

To see how busy this Teahadist videographer has been, here's his http://www.youtube.com/user/DaTechGuyBlog#g/u">other videos.

In http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=37xSwxWGR40">this one he interviews a girl who was the only person to camp out on the common overnight. She must have been expecting hundreds of thousands of fellow Palinoids to share the night with but ended up all on her own.

He did a really excellent job.

they are corporate pawns working for the wealthy elite so they don't have to pay their fair share. These fools are blinded by propaganda and that in itself is considered brainwashing.

The guy was practically baiting him in saying that this is the opposite of what the original Tea Parties were about and the videographer could not debate him. Actually, it would be bait if the videographer were mentally equipped to answer and not just repeat propaganda. But that would mean that he would need to actually understand the kinds of things he probably repeats all day.

He could only ask questions and asked the same question over and over again.... A few times I thought the guy being interviewed was going to say "Are you @#%@#^%& listening to me? If you heard my last comment, you would not be asking this question".

But that was exactly what the original tea party was about: A bunch of people who were used by those who were making tons of money from smuggling tea and did not feel like paying their fair share. They even have the same intellectual honesty to match, since the original tea baggers pretended to be something they were not, Indians, in order to put the blame on the native people which had nothing to do with these events.

Seems to me to be a rather close parallel.

OK, I listened to this twice because the comments seemed so positive I thought I missed something the first time. I’m sure this school psychologist for special-needs-children is a very kind and caring guy but he does not appear to be the brightest or most articulate bulb on the tree.

I thought his defense of an ideology based on concern and community values was sorely lacking. Why do you think the Teahadist put this video on YouTube? Because he knew this guy comes off all touchy, feely, love-hug and he wants to use the video to discredit all progressives as irrational and emotional.

Sorry, big thumbs down for our un-official, un-appointed spokesperson.

... apparently you seem to be of the opinion that having human empathy and make a case for it is "bad" PR or something?

another physicist.

First of, the school-worker's argument is valid in that the protesters are using public services (provided by what they themselves would term "socialism") to protest the fact that they have to pay for the public services they're using. It's faulty logic, plain and simple.

Second, on being "irrational and emotional", I've always found it odd that voices on the right criticize the left for being overly-emotional because they value 'kindness,' 'compassion,' and 'empathy' without ever acknowledging that the supporters on the right are also fueled by emotions. The primary difference is that the right relies on 'fear,' 'anger,' and 'hatred' to motivate their base - as we're seeing with many of the Teapartiers. I think it's very important to bring that point up any time the issue of "emotionalism" is used to discredit somebody.

he speaks as well as, nay, better, than the average guy, and he is not uncertain about his arguments. And he didn't appoint himself as spokesperson - the camera person did that. I'm curious: are you a freshly converted liberal or just here to see how you like it? Or are you just a rather conservative lib... I have been reading your posts and for better or worse you are more often than not arguing the opposing side, so to speak. Just curious, not accusing you of anything. I tend to enjoy arguing the other side, myself.

1972-73: recollections from an old friend on my last high school (I dropped out halfway through the 10th grade and never went back) while attending a previously all black high school now integrated (but not really, because kids self-segregate themselves)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Once, one day in high school an assembly was assembled, and we all jammed the doorways. You and I just happened to meet up inside the side the main entrance door to the gym, next to the bleachers, and although you weren't really happy to see me, you accepted things as they occurred even then, so you sidled up to me and wondered out loud, "Where shall we sit?".

As my head turned I spotted the blackmass--the mass of black people all huddled together like a large herd on the far bleachers. "Let's integrate" I offered, hoping to find a solution outside the peer group construct, feeling you might reject anyone else I felt comfortable with. I had a couple of nerdy acquaintances.

"Okay" you said without a moment's hesitation, and headed in that direction, walking with a purpose. I could tell that something in you had relaxed. We threaded through the puberty stinking crowd, past the white side of the auditorium, and you paused (you were leading) and you turned around and said, "This is a really great idea" and you smiled--it
was your real smile, pleasant and winning, not that smirk. Then you led us up the noisily kerchunking wooden steps skyward into the heart of darkness. You had on that grey heavy button down shirt jacket and a notebook in your right hand.

As we arrived and settled in, we quipped and made light to the mostly female blacks beside us and over our shoulders, and said we're Democrats haha and we're here to take notes ha-ha. During the proceedings they touched our hair and spoke shyly and treated not without deference. We kept our seats and sorta flirted. Pure youthful bravado. Two oatmeal flakes speckling the molasses. The whole White Side of the school saw us and envied our Statement Ability. Now I think they just were saying look at the showoffs. Those troublemakers. But we did something first, didn't we? If you had said no I wouldn't have tried, but you said yes, so up we went. Richie needs Fonzie. I can see it as a statement of some flair now, and rather well done: quiet and witty without a lot of drama, or as an opportunistic teaching moment in class later by liberal apparatchiks who constituted the leftist delivery system of the time.

But you can congratulate your development and the person you had become by then: At that moment in your life, you had seen all of 16 summers.

1973-74
Military WingNut Capital, FL – Dressed like and moved among Gays, their badass defender in nightclubs. Homophobes would accost them/us and I would demonstrate by force of will and speech that they had chosen to pick on the wrong Gays; because they had a secret Fonzie in their mists ready to meet all bullies – the Anti-Bully, and that I did and they ran away.

1976-78

1980-1998
Lead Optical Physicist at LockMart (also called LMCO): worked on and spoke out against Ronny RayGuns StarWars program. Vociferous opponent of concept; but if you’re good they let you get away with shit.

1998-Present
Make big bucks and contribute big bucks to liberal democrat’s nation wide. Until TRUE election finance reform (all elections should be publically funded) we need to do what we need to do; for the greater good.

Yeah, I’m a secret hidden wingnut or whatever. When I go home to Military WingNut Capital, FL I still walk into ALL black nightclubs and I’m the only white person there, and enough remember me from the old days and say:

“That’s the white dude from Booker T, the one that broke the barrier, let him pass.”

Can you say the same?

I was raised in a Catholic republican household and paid no attention whatsoever to the world around me, except gay rights (dropped out of college for a while and did hairdressing. Great experience for somebody who had been very sheltered all her life) until I married a man who inspired me to become informed. I asked you because, like me, you occasionally go against the general consensus here and I wondered about your background. Thank you for responding.

just has a "better than everybody else" attitude?

This guy is the REAL taxpayer funded public servant American! You, I'm not so sure you have any compassion or sensitivity in all your brain cells.

Nice try, tho, showing off how SUPERIOR you are to the rest of us.

Yes, there are disgusting noncompassionate Democrats, and you have outed yourself as one.

He was totally rational and seemed cool, calm & collected in his answers.

If you watched this twice and still think this video is posted to "discredit all progressives" you've just discredited yourself, IMO.

Get him a Youtube channel he's terrific.

He's got it all , yeah he's wonderful.

Get this man going viral all over the world.
