Part 2: No Scrimmage: Healthcare on the One-Yard Line Guess what? Jobs bills are important for the states! A couple of callers try and scold us for using the term “tea bagger” to describe the racist funny-hat-wearing xenophobes personified by Tom Tancredo at this past weekend’s Tea Party Convention, and Karl Frisch, Senior Fellow for media watchdog organization, Media Matters for America brings it to the lapdog mainstream media…and Sarah Palin too.

What was with all of the “tea bagger” blow back? Was it people still in town from the weekend who got word of a liberal show and decided to practice their side-tracking strategies to keep people from making salient points about important issues? To be fair, they did succeed in reducing the size of the federal government this week!
And how many of these callers do you think refer to the “Democrat Party”?
Not sure why they felt the need to harass us on Monday. It’s laughable, really, that they were giving us a hard time about that one term considering all the truly terrible things said by other hosts on other stations on a daily basis.
Thanks for getting up to date with all the podcasts as of late. Its a great pleasure to listen to you guys as always.
