		<description><![CDATA[Tonight on MSNBC, Chris Matthews labeled Conservatives in the Republican party as "Yahoos," meaning they are less than human and are deserving of neither rights nor respect. In the same breath he labeled members of the Tea Party movement as RACIST™. These harsh hate-filled statements are political tactics learned directly from the Saul Alinsky and Alolf Hitler playbooks. Rule Number One - Demonize those you disagree with  as less than human. Make your opponents the scapegoats of society.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=kerfuffle.wordpress.com&amp;blog=293700&amp;post=3960&amp;subd=kerfuffle&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,

The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.

Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,

I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"

Now the cry is "MAY DAY, MAY DAY." as Latinos plan massive May Day rallies in more than Seventy American cities. "The marches and demonstrations are going to be far more massive than they otherwise would have been," said Los Angeles rally organizer Juan Jose Gutierrez. Meanwhile, the federal government of the United States, formerly known as "The Union" is coming down against Arizona and other states following Arizona's hubris in lawmaking. Is Arizona the second South Carolina? Time will tell.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=kerfuffle.wordpress.com&amp;blog=293700&amp;post=3950&amp;subd=kerfuffle&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
