What IS the deal with the Tea Party and signs?

[kelpdiver 2]

If the Democratic Party actually had the stones to play the game hard, they'd be planting idiot signs at every Tea Party rally.

Well, Sarah Palin is starting to look a tiny bit smarter by comparison . . . you may be on to something here!

don't recall all the hippies having so many misspellings back in their protest days.

LOL, WENDY you aren't OLD enough to recall how "hippies" spelled

I am old enough... and since most of them seemed to come from privileged families they were usually well educated. Many of them gave up on the counter culture movement long ago, became main stream and have gone on to become quite successful members of this society both socially and financially.

I think a large part of his comment was on the misspelling of aid . . .

Now, now, I'm not just picking on their spelling. There's at least one other glaring mistake in the sign.

Actually I think it's more an indication that those protesters are so fucking lazy that they can't be bothered to check. It takes almost zero intelligence to operate a spellchecker, so the "who's smarter" game doesn't even enter into it.

I have told you that before

Sometimes I do type in word then copy and pasted

And, I have indicated I am lazy sometimes too

Too bad

I'm not sure that's the right game to play by any "dirty tricks" team. From a strategic standpoint it would make them look petty if they were caught. Far smarter is to just let it take it's natural course. Besides which, a "strong" Tea Party works in favor of the Democrats, since they divide the Republican party far more.

Capitalization and punctuation are not that important to you (too), right?

Since a while, you seem to believe it looks *cool* It just looks idiotic.

Oh, wait: Perhaps, that's not working on your machine, too?

And third, just because someone misspells a word, doesn't mean that their opinions on how the country is being run are automatically invalid.

You're right. Their ideas are not invalid just because there are a few misspelled.

Their ideas are invalid because they don't agree with my ideas.

Hahaha... while the word "aide" is misused, it is not misspelled. What would you expect the spellchecker to have done??? Lack of intelligence?? Guess you thought that through about as thoroughly as they did, or was it a lack of effort?

Good thing you threw that colon in there... it definitely wouldn't have read right otherwise.

Naw, that's just an artifact of light on the window I think. But if you read it carefully, you'll probably notice that there are a whole lot of nows in there; this guy is all about the present.

The GOP is successfully using the internet to create stories and damning 'evidence' out of thin air. So long as the Democrats act like loner idiots, they'll continue to be at a disadvantage.

The Tea Party is disruptive in primaries, but when it comes to November, they're going to bring out the Anti Obama vote. Turnout will be the key to whether or not the GOP takes one or both chambers of Congress, and dissatisfied Democrats are likely to sit home.

He seems to be more concerned with expressing ideas, than in grammar. So I go with the idea.

But let's compare that with you, on the other hand - the only ideas you seem to be able to transmit is drive-by insults. And you usually do so with your own grammatical errors. Quite ironic.

Given the choice, I'll take well-expressed, thoughtful ideas with a few spelling errors.

Is 'glaring' a hint? I'm missing it?

The "nows" while redundant are not a significant error so to speak. Can we get another hint please?

True. While some programs do indeed check usage and grammar, most do not - so you do need at least a minimum of intelligence to use it.
