Buckman opined that the media portrayed the TEA PARTY movement poorly. Your response to that was that you thought REPUBLICANS were the party of "self-responsibility." I don't see the connection. Perhaps you are a victim of the media's "poor portrayal" of the tea party (or tea baggers as you refer to them--nice portrayal!) in that you equate the tea party with the Republican Party. So then, I suppose, in your estimation, the portrayal of the tea party also portrays the Republican Party. That is erroneous. Tea partiers are against Republican malfeasance as well as Democrat. But, I expect that sort of biased (centrist?) comment from you.
My question was, also, not based on that. I was merely wondering how being responsible for one's own actions can stop someone else from lying about you, or having and stating a biased, slanted, untrue view of you. The answer is, of course (since you're unable to answer a simple question--I will), YOU CAN'T.

it's sad that you actually had to explain this to him....funny that the narrow-minded sentiments being expressed toward this particular group, by some, rival the most vile and twisted thinking that you'd find expressed by committed racists, sexists and homophobes...a mindless disdain for a group based on little more than an opinion formed by observation from afar and irrrational ingrained biases.....these are the
truly intolerant...the supporters of the Socialist Movement in this country who are feeling their power currently react with vengance to any opposition....from the president on down, this is the example being set ....nice huh?...70% of Arizonans want the problem of illegal aliens and crime and border issues to be rectified and Obama calls them and the legislation to deal with these problems misguided??? no, we have an angry misguided radical president who is at war with America, he leads a socialist movement at war with an American movement...if you want to be frightened by the fringe of a movement, take a close look at the fringe of Obama's movement...many are/were in or this administration or advise this president....the rhetoric, slurs, attacks and instances of violence from this president, congressional leaders, unions and the left wing minions on ordinary Americans are far worse than any sign, any tee shirt or event at any of the Tea Parties to date...but you would never know that from watching "the media", would ya Spence? and the tea parties have the audacity to speak out against this dictator..."THE ONE" and as such cannot be tolerated, must be crushed...
