<<So the reaction of the police is a measure of authenticity?>>
Well, that's one theory. The Tea Party is never maced or beaten and your bullshit explanation for this (it's because they don't litter) is just plain ludicrous. Would you like to try again or do you give up?
My theory is that nobody is ordering the violent dispersal of the Tea Party because they are the catspaw of the GOP, they represent no threat at all to the current Kleptocracy of thieving Wall Streeters, thieving bankers and thieving politicians of both parties and in fact are doing their best to preserve and strengthen the status quo.
The Occupy Wall Street! people are, of course, a wholly different breed, and they're gonna get the full treatment, starting with MSM blackout, escalating to MSM slanders, marginalization, trivialization and ridicule, escalating to police violence , escalating to deadly violence from police and/or National Guard and/or Northern Command military forces. The Kent State treatment but only if all other measures of repression fail.
<< I guess then that the Cubans that get imprison . . . are the most truely sincere.>>
You have GOT to be kidding. By now, thanks to wikileaks releases of the US government's own diplomatic cables, everybody but you seems to know that the so-called "Cuban dissidents" are bought and paid for by the U.S. government, and have been for years. And what on earth is so sincere about that? Would you think it was "sincere" if you were to suddenly find out that all of the anti-establishment writers and poets in the US had been financially supported in secret for years by the Chinese Communists? There is absolutely NOTHING "sincere" about the Cuban political prisoners. They're a bunch of phonies, traitors and enemies of the people, bought and paid for by the US government. And thanks for bringing that up.

Sorry, you're not gonna get me to OK the selling of prisoners' body parts before they're executed. That sucks and whoever's behind it should be jailed for 20 years. If that was what you were referring to. But I will say it's funny how the US MSM is so quick to pick up on stories like that when they come out of China and so quick to bury them when they come out of Israel. The Chinese aren't the only ones in the organ trade, but they sure as hell seem to get all the blame for it, while pets of the US get a free pass.
<< Syrians getting shot and then arrested in the hospital pretty sincere too.>>
Well, the fact is that you don't know and I don't know what's really going on in Syria. The West claims that peaceful citizens asking for more freedoms are being beaten, shot and arrested for peaceful protest. The Syrians claim that "foreign provocateurs" (French? Israeli? US? Lebanese Christian?) are raising armed gangs of thugs and paying them to attack Syrian forces of order. Personally, I think it's a little of both. I have had some close knowledge of the Syrian government in the recent past, and IMHO they are ruthless and sadistic torturers and murderers when they encounter persons whom they consider to be enemies of the state, primarily the Muslim Brothers, who they will torture and kill without mercy; further that with respect to others of their own citizens they are casually corrupt and brutal, extorting money from any likely victim and beating the shit out of anyone who complains but otherwise not murderers. There's no doubt in my mind that they'll exercise selective torture and murder on purely political protestors even if they are NOT related to the Muslim Brotherhood, but I have a lot of difficulty that they'd initiate mass killings of such people. Similarly, there have been large-scale casualties inflicted on Syrian military or internal police units which the opposition claims are the results of some units firing on others when the victims refused orders to fire on the people. I don't believe it. It's just too neat and too contrived. A firefight would result and it couldn't be swept away - - the circumstances of these killings aren't as much suggestive of a firefight as they are of an ambush. So what's going on in Syria is very complex and you and I don't know enough about it to discuss it intelligently. My best guess is that peaceful protestors are being attacked and also that Syrian army units are being ambushed by armed gangs under foreign influence. Your attempt to simplify the events so that you can draw simplistic conclusions from them is something I would not agree with.
