I think your post was the first mention of the greens I have seen in a decade. Ah, good times, good times when the greens actually had about a month of breathless coverage from the msm.
The tea party is a loose coalition of regional groups dedicated to a few very specific principles and represent a very large percentage of American citizens. I hope we never get to the point where certain liberals or liberal groups get to decide who has a voice and who doesn't.

Already, the coverage most of the "lamestream media" provides the movement is negative. I'd certainly rather that all coverage be negative with the opportunity for rebuttal than to forbid discussion at all.

On a side note, I'm reminded of my irritation that liberals have taken and usurped the term "liberal" to such a degree that classical liberals such as myself and the vast majority of the tea party can no longer use the term. A classical liberal would never, ever suggest that the media be silenced on any subject. From now on, I'll simply refer to you guys as progressives. I hope you'll understand.
