4. Great minds etc
I know how that feels, I've had it happen a couple of times.

"Billionaires" should bring out a single, I reckon it would sell millions of copies.

Thanks for the K and R. :hi:

2. Rachel
apologized at the end of her show for somehow causing their website to crash. No doubt they got a lot of hits.

3. No doubt a lot of baggers think they're genuine allies, like Stephen Colbert.

to show who the crowd's real puppet masters are. Long live the genius organization that is "Billionaires for wealth care."

13. It's hard to believe that old white men would carry signs protesting
a Woman and a Black man in power. Who saw that fringe element coming? :sarcasm:
The song was a little goofy but so is Rachel.(I think it's adorable)
What was brilliant about it is that the Tea baggers only saw the imagery and recognized the tune
and didn't evaluate the words they heard or read because it was sold to them through clean cut white folk and patriotism.
If they would have said the same thing in street clothes without music then they would have been mobbed.

14. It seems that the teabaggers are predominantly fat, angry, ignorant white men.
Am I wrong? That's about all you see at their rallies.

15. Brilliance!
What a shame that the idiots don't get it. The real profiteers in this really ought to just go ahead and say all of this. Whether they like it or not, the mindless protesters are really just shills for their corporate puppeteers.

17. I presume you're responding to the entire
piece and not just to me, but I'll answer your question anyway. No, they don't have anything better to do.
