David Hale is the organizer of the Rockford Tea Party and a City of Rockford Precinct Committeeman (Ward 8 Precinct 4).  Hale is perhaps best nationally known for his stint on Fox News and The Daily Show with Jon Stewart after locating the fourteen Wisconsin Senators who fled the state to delay a vote on a controversial budget proposal.  What is not as well known is that Mr. Hale is a brute who often resorts to lies and manipulation to get his way.  The mother of his child even had to file an Order of Protection against Hale in 1999, which may make one wonder if Hale is also a violent person.   Being a curious person with critical thinking skills, I decided to uncover the mystery of David Hale.  I was surprised by how much irresponsibility and hypocrisy I found. Not to mention the socialist and fascist ideas Mr. Hale possessed.
 

In my opinion, yes.  In an unscientific study (conducted by yours truly),  it has been theorized that the farther right one leans, the more one loses their critical thinking abilities. On numerous occasions I have  attempted to have a debate with a conservative. The following is the most recent example of an attempted debate with a  tea party member from my home town, Rockford, IL.  I should have realized it was very unfair of me to have a battle of wits with an unarmed individual.
 
While on a social network site, a friend of mine posted a comment made by her Rockford Tea group.  The comment, in it's entirety read:
 

I live in Rockford, IL.  It carries the title of ninth most dangerous city in the USA.  We have over 150,000 citizens and is one of the poorest cities in the state.  Our taxes are high, education low and getting worse, the city is crumbling, there are no jobs, corruption runs wild, and the crime rate soars.  

Rockford has an unemployment rate that hovers around 14%, a graduation rate of 79.9% (as of 2010), and 75% of our students live in low income homes. Our crime statistics break down like this: (as of 2009)
