** smashes SA’s simley teeth out with a milk bottle **
Shut the fuck up! Sophists like you are a fucking disgrace to any kind of reasoned discourse and do absolutely NOTHING but spew venom and discord. How dare you profane “honest” but mixing the word into anything you say?
I’m about as tolerant as anyone can be of any political viewpoint. I have no problem getting outside of my own beliefs to at least try and understand where people are coming from even when their baseline ideas are opposite my own. But at some point there is no more denying that someone’s views are not simply different, they’re intentionally inflammatory. People like you–haters, racists, 'phobes, thieves–you abuse the human gift of speech and so don’t deserve to retain the ability to use it.

I hope you choke on something, and the sooner the better.
This begs the question: Why, then, did it take a black man being elected president for them to get organized and start marching in the streets, as it were?
The perennial problem for the poor conservatives. Constantly, the rest of society is prevented from seeing them clearly because all these thousands of rogue individuals keep stepping in front of them and misrepresenting conservatism.
Why is it, I wonder, that it is so hard for conservatives to represent themselves accurately so as to prevent all these pretenders from misleading people about who they are and what they stand for? Years and years this problem persists! It’s terribly unfortunate.
So let me see if I can sum up your side of the argument.
The Tea Party is made up of millions of people with a million different ideas on what’s wrong with this country. For, it can’t be a few people with a few simple ideas because then there would be leaders of the Tea Party and that hasn’t happened.
So these millions of people with millions of ideas are going to be better at leading this country to change, even though there aren’t any leaders. For if there were leaders, we’d know what the Tea Party stands for.
And it’s unfair to attack the candidates running under the Tea Party subsection of the Republican Party because they’re not the true leaders. Or if they are leaders, then they don’t represent everyone because the Tea Party has a big enough tent to hold everyone with hate in their heart about America even if those people don’t quite know what they’re angry about until its leaders show up and tell them.
Which hasn’t yet happened so don’t judge THESE Tea Partiers because they’re not representing everyone so it’s unfair to judge.
How close am I getting? Personally I think I’m dead on the money and yet not even close simultaneously. And I’m OK with that.
The Tea Party is made up of ignorant, reactionary, selfish, short sighted assholes. They don’t give a damn about anyone but themselves.
*Give me my social security, my medicare and my unemployment (my fucking government handouts) but don’t give shit to anyone else, and keep government out of my business (except to give me more fucking handouts).
I don’t want any new taxes or any taxes at all but government has to take care of my lazy stupid worthless ass (I supposed by taxing someone ELSE)
I want MY government health care but I want government out of the halth care business (take care of me, but let anyone else die)
Government is there to do what I say because it’s supposed to represent me, but if it looks like it might not do exactly what I want (and to hell with anyone else) I want the “Second Amendment Remedy” or whatever those assholes call it.
I want freedom for me, to do whatever I want, but none for anyone else. I want religious freedom, and the rest are free to obey whatever bulshit I falsely want to tack onto my religion. God says they all suck anyway.
I used to say anyone who slammed Bush was a traitor, but I talk incessantly about how Obama is a Muslim traitor Commie monley (ni**er) and that’s OK.
I walk into Obama “town halls” with a gun, and then have the gall to say I’m not being threatening (but I bet if anyone with a different view showd up, Tea Baggers would shit themselves).
It’ all about me. Fuck everyone else. I’m mad about everything, even when I don’t even know what it is.

The Tea Party is the lunatic fringe, the people who are ignorant and proud of it. To hell with them. At the very least, they are damn hypocrites.
Some of whom are positive that Obama’s a secret Muslim Kenyan reverse-racist pinko socialist antichrist and terrorist’s best friend, while others are merely *pretty *sure, I mean, I don’t get around to listening to Hannity *every *day, but where’s there’s that much smoke, surely there’s gotta be fire…
I haven’t seen the polls, but I’d be surprised if the “socially libertarian” branch of the Tea Party crew amounted to more than a small minority. Is there any “Tea Party backed candidate” who isn’t socially conservative? Rand Paul is supposed to be the poster boy for this group, and doesn’t strike me as particularly libertarian in his social views. Maybe he’s for legalizing drugs, but hes pro-life and anti-SSM.
It’s just complete coincidence that most of of them are Conservative Christians, who no doubt welcome the various other wide ranging opinions and beliefs within their little party … as Conservative Christians are wont to do, of course.
Got a link to a Tea Party demonstration with a sign saying “Nigger”? I mean, that’d be the hottest picture on the Internet; I’d love to have access to it.
ETA: I found one, although the guy… er, misspelled the word. Dear me.
Those you can ignore because more than likely, they are being held up by someone trying to besmirch the Tea Party movement. They know the media will show those signs; it’s like a Pavlovian reaction and they position for good camera exposure.
