Dear Leslie,
Thanks for trying. Clearly, the Tea Party types and their tunnel vision/conspiracy theorist fans are incapable of processing a reality check. I often wonder where this rage over a simple difference in opinion comes from. Reminds me of W., getting a thought in his head, putting it into action, digging in his heels and refusing to consider any diversion or change in his path. Unfortunately, I actually remember how people were treated (say the singer from Dixie Chicks), when they dared to utter something less than complimentary about the Bush Administration. Anti-American! Traitor! They screamed. And yet, those who cry the loudest seem incapable of recalling such things.
You have my support and empathy. I mean really. Do I have to point out the insanity of some of these comments? Give me a break! It just never ends and only gets more absurd with time. And, if I hear that Obama is a Muslim, Socialist without an American birth certificate one more time... But I will. All I have to do is go to any board on any subject matter... Connect the dots people! The Liberals are not out to get you. I personally, am happier with each passing development that I live in San Francisco, where the closed minded don't like to come. I love the fact that I never heard a racist comment until I was 21 and moved to Austin, TX. Now I'm back home in my little bubble, and as ill as I am, as much physical pain as I deal with, I'm happy to be here where I can forget that such things, that hatred of that ilk and magnitude, exists.
The real irony? I just stopped by to read about the CSI episode I missed. A T.V. show, for crying out loud! It's the pain again, but what a hysterical moment I just had for myself. Hmm... what was I researching again that I'm writing this? Answer: Nothing! I was hoping to find a TV PROGRAM on line! LOL! Thanks for the laugh! Ah! You just made my day!

Sarah L, I beg to differ:
1) Tax Protest Movement (violent): http://www.adl.org/learn/ext_us/TPM.asp?xpicked=4&item=21
2) Posse Comitatus (anti-tax, anti-govt, racist, committing fraud): http://www.nizkor.org/hweb/orgs/american/adl/paranoia-as-patriotism/posse-comitatus.html
3) Fox report on "radical anti-tax groups": http://www.foxnews.com/us/2010/02/19/radical-anti-tax-groups-growing-threat-say-law-enforcement/
4) Growth in extremist groups fueled by extreme right-wing ideology: http://www.splcenter.org/get-informed/intelligence-report/browse-all-issues/2010/spring/rage-on-the-right

I have been an avid viewer of CSI since its inception. I had no idea as to what this episode was about when I started to watch it. When it became obvious that CBS was making a political statement I turned the show off and will never watch CSI again. I now put this show in the trash with Moveon,org and all of the state owned media on network and cable TV.

You act like the Tea Party are crazy for assuming that CSI and CBS were taking a swing at the Tea Party even though they never mention the Tea Party by name?
Wow I guess the Tea Party are a bunch of idiots, right? I mean how could they assume such an absurd thing? Or maybe you're the idiot who would twiddle your thumbs and ignore the OBVIOUS! In the episode this group is represented by mostly White American men who fly a flag behind them talking about patriotism, smaller government & lower taxes...to even a simple minded idiot such as yourself, you must see the truth. It's called being educated and having something called COMMON SENSE which seems to be rare these days.
The militia group that you so ignorantly try to suggest CSI could have been portraying are called HUTAREE a group that didn't care about taxes, they were a group of delusional Christian who believed the Antichrist was here and the Apocalypse was coming and they were to take up arms and go to war.
Is that how CSI portrayed the group in their episode? No they didn't..do some research, have a brain and stop patronizing conservatives just because they don't adhere to you're beliefs. Oh and while you're at it either, tell the truth or get some common sense, because you are either a liar, lying about the obvious fact CSI was directly referring to the Tea Party or sir you just lack common sense realizing the truth.
People like Justin Bieber who make millions off of American children should take care in how they portray themselves and make sure that they are sending the right message. When this Canadian who has no stake in America's future goes on CSI making a political statement patronizing the Tea Party (which once again anyone w/ half a brain can see this!) it sends a message to his young audience, who are easily manipulated. That's the problem...the liberal left continues to take the very young and tries to manipulate and brainwash them in their left-wing agenda. They make it "COOL" to vote with messages such as "Vote or Die", without ever allowing them the opportunity to learn about the issues that will affect their future, instead they think about the here and now with their young minds and their lack of real world experience. Only to grow up realizing that they voted on something that in 20 years will hurt them & their children. It's pathetic to see the liberals continue to prey upon these young children!
And what happened with Justin Bieber and CSI's political statement is a perfect example of liberals trying to manipulate and brainwash the young.
This is all coming from a 26 year old mother of two who dropped out of College because of the saturation of liberal professors who continued to punish me because I refused to conform to their liberal ways. This is the sad future for our children...thank you liberals for being a bunch of hypocrites by being the powerful preying on the weak. Never underestimate the subtle approach of Hollywood.

you want violence? go find a "peace protest" with a bunch of left wing libtards, anarchists, communists, and pot-smoking drugged up anti-capitalists. leftwingers are angry, hatefilled bigoted human scum.

They weren't mentioned or even alluded to so what's the big fuss? The problem is the angry old white man's movement called the tea party, which has been claiming all along that it is non-violent and doesn't condone violence, evidently has a guilty conscience about all the violent rhetoric it's been spewing and the hate it's been spreading. They have a right to have a guilty conscience. They've made death threats to numerous judges and elected officials, cut a gas line to a senator's relatives home and carried guns to rallies. They're nuts. And yes, they are potentially very violent and hateful.
