Peggy:  I am VERY protective of this movement too.  This has gotten out of hand and is now becoming personal.  I am asking everyone to please calm down.  This was a video in fun and jest.  We are sorry if you were offended.  No offense was intended.  Happy New Year and may 2012 find us all in a better place and let's focus on the things that really matter.  God bless you all.

People, lighten up and if you don't like something, move on.  Attacking others over a video makes you just as bad as what you are accusing them of doing.

There is so much bad stuff in this world, a video such as this is the least of our problems.  Everyone appreciates a little humor every now and then.

I have absolutely no tolerance for anyone that attacks other conservatives in a public forum.  If you have problems or issues with someone, then you deal with it in private.  This kind of circular firing squad is what reflects poorly on the movement.

Well, here is another take. 

After watching this again, I stand by my assessment.  It is crude.  It was unecessary.  It demeans the Tea Party.  And the people who posted it are not of authority in the Tea Party. 

Call it satire, or whatever you want.  Porn is called freedom of speech. 

Jim, I hope you are correct about it causing nothing but a ripple.  I am very protective of the Tea Party.  I understand that.  I would rather be over protective than under protective. 

Thank you for giving me the ok to express my opinion.  I really did not need it.  But, glad you all understand everyone has the right.  If find the video tasteless and crude.  And nothing that is said will change my mind.

And with that, I will stop following these posts.

Thank you, Sam, for stating the obvious! Peggy, and Art, your opinions are just as valid as anyone eles's, however, The T.E.A. Party is a very strong organization, and I have no fear that something as minor as this will cause anything more than a slight ripple. These days, humor is found in EVERYTHING, unless you are eating sour limes all day! One of our best features is we are such a melting pot of people all getting along because we have a common goal....so, lighten up, enjoy your New Years Eve, and look forward to big gains during the next election!

I think it is great that Peggy spoke up because I think we all should be allowed to speak our opinion and to look out for each other on things we might consider a mistake that needs to be looked into.  Sometimes things are brought to peoples' attention that needs to be.  

However, Peggy's last remark is wrong.  To blame other people for voicing their opinion which is opposite of hers for starting a "fight" when she was the one who voiced the original "complaint" which started the frenzy is just wrong.  Sharing differences in senses in humor and differences of opinions doesn't always constitute a "fight".   This is far from a fight.  Why does the question, "Can we all just get along" come to mind?

Well I hope the folks who did this are happy with the fight on this blog.

Gus, it demeans the Tea Party to stoop to that level.  If it was put out in jest, which I believe it was, fine.  but, not under the Tea Party banner.  That is my complaint.  And I do agree with you, we do defeat ourselves.  And one way that is dong, is by doing something assinine like this.  I have no problem with them in Iowa or anyplace else having LOADS of fun.  But if yoou are not in authority in the Tea Party, how an you post this trash under the Tea Party banner.  I do take offense, and I will get over it.  But it still stinks to high heavens.

We are Individuals, not a Collective!  WE are never all going to agree on ALL issues or humor.  It is this petty little crap that defeats us within.  We do it with our cadidates, when we do not agree with them 100%.  The Left Wing Radicals don't have to defeat us, they just sit back and let us do it to ourselves.  Would I have sent this as a FCTP email update, no.  But I am not going to complain every time I disagree.  They are in Iowa because they are very involved in the process, and they are more engaged than I am sitting at home right now.  Let them have a little fun, and if you are offended, get over it.

It's satire not "commentary"! Tired of the political correctness on both sides now. I see nothing wrong with it. Just not that big of a deal...WE have much larger problems to take care of than this...

There are so many depressing problems happening right now in our Country.  I think we should focus on making people more depressed.  Can you please take down this and any other video out there that might make someone laugh or slightly smile at the situation we are in.  Also, could you please become more Politically Correct and not poke fun at anything or anyone?  While you are at it, could you please try and focus on one view and one view only out of millions of views out there?  As long as it is my view, or close to it, I will not complain.

RYAN NICHOLS - Hardened Criminal?? Seriously??

If you're not already aware. This is what's going on in DC while dangerous criminals are allowed back out on the streets.  It's horrifying that this is happening to our citizens and veterans for protesting the hijacking of our election process. This is still happening! They are STILL being tortured and treated like full on terrorists. 

You may not be aware of the typical things they're forced to go through...…
