Constition- [SIZE=3]- no dictionary results[/SIZE]

people in glass houses should not throw stones, or do you not know anything about the constitution.

perhaps you should spell correctly before you criticize others

Back to lets go after the spelling of a sign and ignore the reason for the sign.

You know democrats use to not be so darn judgmental and thinking they were better then everyone. What happen to that party?

Here is another question for you. Democrats claim to be a champion for those without, those in need, those that are in trouble, those that just need a helping hand. Do you think all of those that democrats are the champions for are the best spellers in the world?

Shouldnt you all come down from this high horse you all are on
Sorry, but not when this is the patron saint of the Tea Partiers.

This guy is too easy, like shooting fish in a barrel. Read the heading of the post you referenced. Can someone here explain to this guy what I did, he apparently does not understand satire.

You criticize others for not being able to spell while you can not spell.
Satire no, Hypocrisy yes

A few teabagger signs bear a misspelling and all teabaggers are labeled stupid.
Stereotype much?

Whether or not the people in the protest have a formal education is irrelevant. These people are exercising their right to free speech. If this were a protest conducted by a liberal group would you be as quick to judge? Are you concerned that these unwashed, possibly uneducated backwaters types could be easily persuaded into toeing the party line? It's really no different than the Obama-mania which swept college campuses not too long ago. Either way, both groups have a right to hear and be heard.

Should people stop voicing their views and concerns because they are different than that of the POTUS party?

This guy is something else. Here is the post in which you are referring to, please read the heading. It's obvious this guy still doesn't get it, even after all the clues I've given him, anyone, someone, explain this to him. This is just too easy, it's not even fun.

Everyone misspells now and then. What I find fetching is their double standard when it comes to out-of-control spending and big government. It just depends upon what side of the isle is doing it. They seem to hate it more when the (D)s do it than the 6.5 years the (R)s were in charge of deficit building and government expansion.
