Keeping the tone civil

I've gotten some feedback from the previous post and I think perhaps it was a bit of overreaction on my part. Sure, I saw some pretty bizarre, offensive, and downright dumb stuff in the coverage of the tea bag events, but as many have pointed out, that's what the media will play up. And I might be swimming in the lefty blog echo chamber a bit too much, if I may mix my metaphors, which also plays up the nuttiness.

So, OK, conservatives are allowed to have their day to speak their minds, even if it largely a bunch of events sponsored by Fox News. And they have every right to be angry about the lousy economy and the deficit. I just think their anger is very misdirected. And I'm still not getting answers on why people who hate taxes are mad at a president who just cut theirs.

Conservatives?
