Good and inspiring speech. It's important to show the snooping federales that we're not afraid of them. Just like the mobster in "Enemy of the State" when he encouraged Will Smith's character to say "hi" to the FBI with the middle finger, we, the people, need to make a clear statement to our government that their trampling of our constitutional rights and responsibilities has ended.

I thought it was a horrible speech honestly. They are using the same tactics they have been using for years. Telling everybody how the left sucks and failing to point the finger at themselves. They are simply riding the coattails of our message. They say the right things and people clap and will buy into that crap. Then they get re-elected and we have the same shit once again.

I loved how she pointed out somebody in the crowd that was a veteran stating the he is considered a "right wing extremists." Sure it maybe true but shit, damn, fuck its just these scare tactics they used to go to war against Iraq. I feel they are just putting up a smoke screen and we are going to be screwed once again when they get more people in office.

I reviewed the video again. Regardless of the motive, the truth is Janet Napolitano is a leftist * and the points made by Robin are true. Naturally, Robin's not going to air the dirty laundry of her party in a public speech in her capacity as chair of the TN GOP. ;) Both parties are corrupt and I wouldn't expect the chair of the Democratic party to air their laundry in public either. IMO, Robin made a fine speech for such a short time.

* Stereotypes are not totally baseless which is precisely why they exist in the first place. Granted, stereotypes are frequently misused and the case can be made that Robin is exploiting them in her speech...
