Or my audience!
They don’t seem to be much of anything in particular, except excitable. And flush with a sudden sense of importance, like people are suddenly listening to them, like they always should have been, because they are the real Americans! But I really don’t detect any unifying themes but ignorance and anger.
Do you have any thoughts of your own or do you just say what Bill Maher tells you to?
Definitely your material.
You’re just angry that you fell for it. 
Because he can’t actually argue his point honestly.
Oh snap.
Is there anyplace in particular you would prefer to bite me?
I think this article is interesting:
The Teabaggers remind me of the One Nation party and movement in Australia. They seem to me to have in common that they aren’t really a coherent group at all. They are a grab bag of the disaffected.
Hey, the Teabaggers will be “protesting” today at Discovery Green, the lovely new park in downtown Houston. (Paid for by our tax dollars!)
I might drop by for happy hour at The Grove. Will take notes!
Nice comment here from today’s rally in Washington.
Johnson expressed opposition to President Obama. “It’s not just because he’s black,” he said. “I wish I could tell you that I loved this guy, that he was a great president, that I had faith in him. But I have none. Zero.”
That’s hilarious. Do you think the penny will ever drop, and he’ll realize what he said? It’s amazing what and extra word (“just”) can do to a statement!
So I dropped by Discovery Green, the new little park in Downtown Houston, to see what the Teaparty folks were up to. They had a fair turnout but their area was surrounded by a temporary fence–something I hadn’t seen previously at park events. There was a checkpoint that I didn’t feel like braving, so I didn’t make a real survey for idiotic signs. Basically, it was just a blindingly white, well fed crowd–sitting & listening to speeches. The one speaker I heard was going on about people not being welcome here.
Not wishing to raise my blood pressure, I went to the park’s nice little restaurant for a drink & snack. A guy who had obviously attended the rally was trying to impress the pretty young lady bartender. He boasted that a darker crowd would have required much more security. There were a private security guards (the only non-whites within the fence) & two of HPD’s mounted patrol outside. The bartender smiled very thinly; she behaved professionally but one could tell she was not impressed. (Her co-workers in the restaurant reflect Houston’s demographics–quite diverse.)
“…but it helps.”
No but you could if Democrats leaders were saying such things in order to appeal to the Democrat base. When a guy like that posts that kind of tweeter its not because he is a racist (well, he probably is), its because his followers LIKE it when their leaders say stupid shit like that.
(my bold)
Which explains the racism.
Every time I see these scumbags and their dipshit rallies on TV, I think where’s Osama Bin Laden when you really need him? “Hey O – here’s the people you were aiming for, all congregated in one place!”
That’s because this argument has become a google-off to see who can find the most examples of a particular behavior. I could cite thisor thisbut you wouldn’t give a shit. You’d just keep charging on with your accusations of racism irrespective of the facts.
Hell, even the link in the OP said that people were distancing themselves from the guy:
Seriously, pitting a guy for a fourth-degree misdemeanor is the lamest thing I’ve seen around here in a long time.
You’ve got to be fucking kidding me. Please please tell me that you have some sense about you and you’re just laughing at the poor choice of words and not actually thinking that this guy is displaying racism.
You know, after 10, 20, 50 times having to find an excuse for or rationalize or characterise events as isolated incidents, rational people come to the conclusion that there’s a pattern to behavior.
When the tea party organizers have to send out notices telling their followers to tone down the rascism lest they look bad, then a rational person realizes that there is a systemic problem.
An irrational person comes up with excuses.
