I hope this show will open some eyes and undo some of the media spin about the Tea Party Movement. The "opposition" hurled the standard "you're just a bunch of racist whackos," but in the end, we agreed on many of the issues facing our country. In fact during one of breaks, Tony actually said we needed to stop agreeing so much. Jude and Jeff expressed their surprise at many of our positions after the show was over saying that we were nothing like what we are being portrayed as in the media, proving that we need to ignore the talking heads and pundants and just start a direct dialogue with one another. It will be interesting, however, to see whether Paul's closing words will remain or if they will be edited.

From Paul Saunders

The opposition also threw the "Tea Partiers are all haters" accusation at us by "claiming" that Twitter comments were loaded with hate. This collectivist approach tries to smear the Lehigh Valley Tea Partiers with unverifiable and unchallengeable alleged views from the Never-Never-Land of Twitter. They had no evidence of hateful actions from any local Tea Partiers (aka real people).

My closing remark, if they censor it, was that we must oust from office the rights-violating, oppressive Obama administration with all its Maoist and Communist Czars. Our opponents did not like hearing this truthful description of Obama's "gang of thugs" Czar force. However, the evidence from reality completely supports my statement. Czar Ron Bloom said, "We know this is largely about power, that it’s an adults only, no limit game. We kind of agree with Mao that political power comes largely from the barrel of a gun." And they dare to call Tea Partiers violent and dangerous!
