I'm not afraid of the teabaggers. They'll just become a forgotten political novelty like Ross Perot and his followers.

Yeah yeah, we keep hearing that... yet you slavers spend soooo much time and effort and spew so much hate, vitriol, and venom... spread so much misinformation about them, disparage them in any dishonest way you can... it makes it pretty hard to believe that you aren't afraid of them.

[Bunty]

And so my putting up a video displaying the teabaggers in a less than bright light is easy proof of doing that?

Your infatuation and hatred toward them betrays your line that they are irrelevant to you. You and the rest of the slavers are afraid of them. You show nothing but contempt for anyone who refuses to bow to the state and chooses personal liberty over bondage to authority. Every comment you make, every thread you start, every response you make just further proves my point.

As a comparison, think of the Westboro Baptist Church gang of imbeciles. Here is a group that gathers regularly to spew vile ignorant hateful garbage... they are truly worthy of your contempt. Yet, nary a word from the slaver gang.

But when a group of people gather whose basic message is "We support personal liberty, lower taxes, smaller government, and responsible government spending".... oh HELL NO. The whole gang of you go falling all over yourselves in a rush to demonize them.

Why the disparity? Why are you so much more offended by the idea of FREEDOM than the putrid intolerant filth that the Westboro's spew? Why are you so much more threatened by it?

Nevermind the fact that pointing out a handful of morons out of hundreds of thousands is not very intelligent way to characters are large and varied group of individuals. Hell, I could cherry pick from the countless idiotic and ignorant statements that you, ronronnie, gmwise, okanacerous, HWTJ, and the rest of your ilk make on a routine basis on this board and put them in a video. Do you know how laughably foolish the lot of you would look?
I mean honestly, do you think that a collective group of people that doesn't know the difference between a right and an entitlement who still can't learn it after being taught repeatedly has any wriggle room to comment on the "ignorance" of anyone else?

[Bostonfan]

all that writing backing up a group you have nothing to do with?? Yeah, right. Why not come out and admit you go to every one of the teabag events there are? What are you afraid of? Why do you feel threatened??

See how easy that is? Look, it's just too damn easy to show these teabaggers for what they are. Am I scared of them? No. Am I worried one of them might pull off a Mcveigh?? Yes.

[Easy180]

Am I scared of them? No. Am I worried one of them might pull off a Mcveigh?? Yes.

Same here

[PennyQuilts]

You do realize that you can support a movement and not be part of that group or engage in all its activities? Plenty of people support women's rights, gay rights, animal rights, strong defence, big government, little government, rights for the elderly, rights for the disabled, etc., without getting out and protesting or being a spefic member of a group. The point is not the group - it is the reason for the group. And as for the tea partiers, there are a lot of online means of support, contacting legislators, donations, etc. I know plenty of people who donate to certain politicians but that is the extent of their participation - yet they certainly support a given cause. And probably the ones who supported Obama so passionately didn't participate in rallies.

Great point, except that NOTHING in my writing was "backing up" the group in question. My writing was about YOU, the hand-wringing paranoid collectivist and your response to something that threatens you.

See how easy that is? Look, it's just too damn easy to show these teabaggers for what they are. Am I scared of them? No. Am I worried one of them might pull off a Mcveigh?? Yes.

Thats like me saying I am not scared of you personally, I am just worried you are going to molest my kids. Then I would go around equating you to various known pedophiles and slandering you in every way possible all with nothing to back up my assertions... oh and claiming that you are really irrelevant to me the whole time.

You aren't fooling anyone, man. Give it up.

And on edit, you know how we KNOW that is BS?

THIS happens all the time:


Yet none of you statists flock to demonize these people because you are "worried they are going to pull off another 9/11". When THESE protests happen the silence from the political Left is deafening.

wow, that flew right over your head, and you never saw it.

Guess so. I still don't get what you are getting at beside just being your typical superficial nasty.

I'm a tea bagger/supporter, and if you honestly believe this, it shows that your ignorant to their cause. We have two main goals, Smaller Government, Lower Taxes.

[Caboose]

So let us review:

Theme of rally: Personal Freedom
Your reaction: Stupid racists! Redneck Bigots! Ignorant hicks! Homophobes!

Theme of rally: God hates f4gs! F4gs should die!
Your reaction: <crickets chirping>

Theme of rally: Lower Taxes
Your reaction: Oh you stupid uneducated homophobes! These inbreds are going to blow up another federal building!

Theme of rally: Behead infidels who insult Islam! Destroy the West in the name of Allah!
Your reaction: <crickets chirping>


Again... why is the basic message of "Less government, more personal freedom, more personal responsibility, lower taxes, less bureaucracy" so offensive to you that it turns you into an irrational, raving, mouth-frothing hater... when a truly contemptible message does not?

Don't feed me this "I am worried one of them might be another McViegh" line of BS. Why are you so afraid of their message? I think we know the answer.

They pick on tea baggers because they are sad, lonely, have no life and nothing else to do but set in front of the computer and pick fights.

I would like to think that is the sole reason.... but really it is bigger than that. They are automatically hostile to anyone and anything that does not support their Leftist Authoritarian world view that the people should be wards of the State.

[Bostonfan]

I totally understand living in Oklahoma I should be worried about the Islamic terrorists. You see, I did read where over 70% of Oklahomans believe the next terrorist attack will be from them vs. from the crazy right wing extremist. With the 19th around the corner, you would think, by now, that Oklahoman's would be a little more "in the know" about what can occur when crazy ass right wingers who hate the government can/will do. You can BS all you want. But the truth is these tea baggers sound more and more like Mcveigh than you will ever want to admit. It is what it is.

This is cognitive dissonance at it's finest.


Tabaggers: We want smaller government and less taxes and more freedom.

Muslim Jihadists: We want to blow you up and behead your children and we have been for years. Here, let me show you a list of the many terror attacks we have carried out on US soil over the past couple of decades. We WILL bring the West to it's knees and under Sharia law and we will kill every man woman or child that stands in our way.

BostonFan : Man, those teabaggers sure sound like more of a threat of terrorism than those Muslim Jihadists. I bet you those backward Okies probably think Muslim jihadists are a threat of terrorism. Where do they come up with that?

[Caboose]

Same here

Bull sh!t. You don't like their message so you think that if you can portray them as terrorists, racists, homophobes, bigots, "dumb redneck", etc it invalidates their message.

[Easy180]

These rallies bother me because of the fake outrage....the folks who couldn't even name the main freedom being taken away sums it up nicely

I am white but for some reason a gathering of white folks bitching about how bad they have it gets on my nerves

[Easy180]

Bull sh!t. You don't like their message so you think that if you can portray them as terrorists, racists, homophobes, bigots, "dumb redneck", etc it invalidates their message.

Sure most are harmless folks but when you have the classy twins Palin and Bauchman (sp?) spewin garbage i am concerned someone in the group will lash out

Oh, so now you are going another route. Now it is "fake" outrage. Now you are asserting that the folks are going commit acts of terror over something they are pretending to be outraged over.

And wat is this about being white? Why are the teabaggers the racists when the only people who ever bring up race are their detractors? What does being white have to do with anything? White people can't have grievances? Are white people to just "know their place" and "take what they get"? Is that it?

What does being white have to do with the validity of their grievance?

[BrettL]

Right....

If you say so.

[Caboose]

Sure most are harmless folks but when you have the classy twins Palin and Bauchman (sp?) spewin garbage i am concerned someone in the group will lash out

Bull sh!t. There are clerics "spewin garbage" to audiences all over the place. You might very well tune in to Olberman or any number of classless douchebags to have your brand of garbage spewed at you on a nightly basis. And if not you personally, then certainly the bulk of the statist/collectivist/slaver crowd does. Yet do I see any outrage from you? Do I see you calling them racists or homophobes and posting about how concerned you are that they may lash out?

You guys are as transparent as they come.

Now tell me. Which of the main points of the teabaggers do you disagree with?

1. The federal government has outgrown its intended scale and scope and needs to be reigned in to a smaller and less intrusive size.
2. Taxes are too high and government spending is irresponsible.
3. Personal responsibility should be encouraged and dependency on the state should be discouraged. And policies should reflect that idea.
4. People should be free of bondage and intrusion from the federal government to pursue and create their own destiny. In other words - Personal liberty, socially and economically.


Which of those things offends you? To which of those things are you opposed?

What does being white have to do with the validity of their grievance?

They don't have a valid grievance..Bunch of folks that like to bitch about whatever whenever getting together is all

not saying they are racist either..white folks griping about liberties they enjoy is annoying to me...don't know why just is

I try not to wade into these things, but this is really bothering me and I have some honest questions. Its easy to point and criticize the government at this grandiose scale when you are not the one who is trying to make legislation and maintain a prosperous nation. I'm sure to some degree you are correct about your 4 points above, but from a construction point of view, can you possible answer the following questions (which correspond to your statements above)?

1.) What is a "smaller and less intrusive scale" to you? Which government services do you think should be removed?
2.) Are taxes really too high? That's just like saying gas prices are too high without knowing what the money goes for. What is "too high" to you? What is a more acceptable range? And for that question, again, refer to my first question.
3.) Sure I agree with you in principle. But I have to ask, what do you think things would be like if these services were removed? Would there be no exceptions? How would you reform the system if you had the chance?
4.) I agree with you totally. But, what in our current system is really preventing this? What kind of intrusions do you object to? Are there intrusions that are perhaps necessary to keep safety and peace that you haven't considered?

I think I would have more respect for the tea party movement as a whole if these questions could honestly be answered by the leadership, or even by some of its members.
