More lies, hate, and smear from Lil Keithie Keith. I am not angry, because I realize what a bunch of misinformed extremist fools you and the other Grand Opressive Old Tea Party members are. I am also not a Marxist or a Socialist, and you continue to lie and spread false slander about that too, Lil Keithie Big Liar!
