15. You guys better understand one thing.
....

Yes the teabaggers are a mostly bogus bunch of whipped up racists, I agree.

BUT - their grievance concerning the fiscal/economic policies of this administration are 100% valid (and they would have been JUST as valid in the months before Obama took office)

The VALID GRIEVANCE is not going away, and you cannot paint it as invalid just because the only people who have taken to the streets AS YET are a bunch of racist clowns.
