TS: Mo Tucker vs. Ringo Starr

that's actually one of the more cogent, thoughtful tea party memos i've read

except for it being incorrect in all points of fact, of course.

i wonder if she stands up when she posts on the internet

except for it being incorrect in all points of fact, of course.

yeah, I can't speak to any of the claims she makes (salamanders, donkey museums, etc) but the rest of it is just a matter of rhetoric and degrees i suppose. (e.g. the govt "taking over" the auto industry etc.)

my biggest issue is this: "I started listening to what Obama was promising"

ok really? what did Obama say during the election that made you think he wasn't actually going to push for all the super magical things he's attempted (health care, financial reform, school loans, etc)? if anything he's been forced or spooked into scaling back. now to be fair, maybe Moe wasn't too thrilled from the moment an Obama admin became a viable prospect. but it's just something i've heard a lot of from people (moderates) who voted for him. which prob doesn;t include Ms. Tucker so i shut up now.

Her list is kind of astonishing as a compendium of talking points and canards she heard on Fox News - there's no distinction between justifiable concerns, petty complaints and bizarre phobias. As an insight into the garbled thinking of a Tea Partier it's fascinating.

Can't believe a drummer out of a band wd have different political opinions to me tbh

Is anyone saying that at this point in the thread? I don't think so.

Pretty sure that's all the recent portion of this and the other Mo T threads say but hey ho

Dorianlynsky's favorite response on this thread is to simply say "Is anybody saying that on this thread". A phenomenal debate technique.

Is anybody saying that on this thread?

...maybe?

Ha, OK, obviously I haven't managed to make the distinction I was trying to make. To try again: I think you can discuss this, and be interested in what Moe's words reveal about how someone can end up aligning themselves with the Tea Party without perceiving themselves as right-wing, without it having anything to do with your enjoyment of that person's music - the VU didn't even cross my mind while I was reading this latest interview. I'm interested in this as a case study in Tea Party thinking so I find her language revealing. That's all. But I'll leave this thread to Bill Magill and his phenomenal "being a prick" debating technique.

The working at Wal-Mart definitely influenced her anti-union stances. As a Wal-Mart employee, you're practically expected to NAME NAMES anytime the dreaded u-word comes up.

You'd think that being an employee of Wal-Mart would eventually make you pro-union.
