There are a number of us who can remember the “Impeach Earl Warren” billboards and letters to editors. Them folk have a lot in common with today’s Tea Baggers.

The reference to “Tea Baggers” does nothing to further our Presidents request that we engage in kinder forms of speech when we disagree with one another. Lotuslover, I am sure that you would not want people making pejorative comments made about the Occupy movement.
Have we dumbed down our society to the point of political correctness only applying to the loudest voice in the room?
