stilt21: That was pretty stupid!
this would seem to be what the teaparty people mean when they say they want their country back or wanting the original constitution back, the one that allowed slavery and counted all others at 3/5 of a person.
First off, the article had nothing to do with politics or history or tea party or anything else related to politics.
Secondly, people who are as ignorant as you sound from your comments should not be... well... commenting.
I, for example, believe in the tea party movement, and I'm Hispanic. My beliefs have nothing to do with wanting slavery or reducing anyone to less than a whole person.
I do, however, believe in the constitution and I want to bring the country back to what the founding fathers envisioned and which most people now still believe in.
My guess is that, you and your ideological beliefs are threatened by the constitution and by the freedoms which were originally guaranteed to us under that constitution and the bill of rights, and therefore, you and your fellow progressives/democrats are willing to lie in order to stop the tea party movement.
