“Clueless”??
Because they didn’t know what “teabagging” meant?? That kind of cluelessness they should be ashamed of …right !!!
It’s called GOOGLE. Five seconds with safesearch=off would have saved them this problem. Clueless.
Here’s a good example of liberal fearful whining…the evil Rand Paul.
It’s a lot of things, big and little. It’s things like this postin the Pit, an excellent example of the left’s snarling hatred for everyone to the right of Nancy Pelosi. It’s Carrie Prejean in the Miss America pageant being punished for dissenting from the left’s position on same sex marriage. It’s Juan Williams being fired for a comment no reasonable person would have found the least bit controversial or offensive. It’s James Watson having his career destroyed for dissenting from the politcally correct view of race. It’s the mainstream media dragging Joe the Plumber through the mud for asking Obama an awkward question. It’s harassing Sara Palin with hundreds of frivolous ethics complaints. It’s the applause from a night club audience when Sandra Bernhard ranted about Sara Palin being gang raped by her “black brothers.” It’s the arson at Sara Palin’s church. It’s a President who pals around with the likes of William Ayers and Reverend Wright. It’s a President who removes references to God when quoting the Declaration of Independence. It’s the Democratic party embracing race hustlers like Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson. It’s the Duke University rape hoax and the Jena Six circus, it’s American students in an American high school being forbidden to display the American flag on Cinco de Mayo, it’s a California school requiring students to dress like Muslims and pray to Allah in a class project on Islam. It’s forbidding a high school valedictorian to talk about her religion in her graduation speech. It’s progressive students shouting down conservative speakers on college campuses. It’s the way so many of you act like Soviet commissars intent on sniffing out “counter-revolutionaries” and sending them to the gulags.
And you claim not to understand why so many people mistrust and fear you.
Can you guys really be this blind?
A couple of those are true, none of them are related, and none of them has anything to do with the topic of the thread, which is why conservatives think *liberals *are fearful.
Thanks for playing, though.
All of them are true, and all of them address the question of why people–not just conservatives–mistrust and fear the left. A snide, dismissive attitude does not make these things go away.
It’s Tea Party. Unless you’re 8 years old.
Is that also the age of the TEA party members that called themselves Teabaggers?
I snidely dismiss the notion that you actually read the OP, or even the subject line of the thread, before emptying your tired old bag of bullshit talking points into it.
Once again, the question was not “why do people fear liberals,” but “why do conservatives think *liberals *are fearful,” i.e., why do they think liberals are afraid / use fear as a motivator.
Understood now? I can draw up a little diagram if that would help.
Which is, again, not the topic of this thread.
Meh. Yeah, I only glanced at the title and skimmed over the thread, and so what? It still turned out to be pretty much what I expected it to be—a bunch of lefties patting each other on the back for being so wonderfully superior to the peasants. In any case, it’s always appropriate to remind progs that they aren’t nearly as open-minded and democratic as they think they are.
Oh, yeah, and the teabagger thing. It’s nothing but childish spitefulness, and it doesn’t matter that some tea partiers once inadvertently used the term not knowing about its sexual connotations. Grow up, why don’t you?
You guys can get back to your circle jerk now.
Hey just because some of us Progs once inadvertently jerked off in a circle without knowing about it’s sexual connotations doesn’t mean you can keep dipping your balls in out mouths about it. Metaphorically speaking, of course.
My favorite part of this is where you don’t actually have an answer for the OP.
Charming, as usual.
–Z, not a leftist by any stretch.
The proud stalwarts of the Tea Party
Have lusts that are hearty but naughty
Such as offering their sacks
As mid-morning snacks
To all and to sundry! How haughty! 
And I especially like the part where you completely missed the point that I don’t fuckin’ care. Selah.
Okay, I’m gonna make an exception here–anyone who makes me laugh can go on using the T word.
Having learned what the wonderful people at MSNBC can do with your own words let’s get this straight…
Is tea bagging something you only do mid-morning?
Is it considered haughty?
What does the word sundry mean?
To all… that’s just not right.
The Tea Party is for the 8 year old in all of us.
Here ya go, dude:
I take this to also mean insignificant and trivial, much like this thread.
I really ought to take offense; after all, I’m not quite that casual with my sexual favors. But a well-composed X-rated limerick is always good for some low-brow yuks, and I simply can’t bring myself to take umbrage. The mods would just make me give it back, anyway.
Yeah, really – good one, BG.
As to the top question, heck if I know, but Beware of Doug has a point, what I always detected as the “negative character traits” the RW attributed to libs was more along the lines of weakness or lack of assertiveness/self-assurance, not really “fear”.
Which is not to say I haven’t met a few fellow libs, who do sometimes sound something like* “OMG!! People have GUNS!!! B-b-b-but… that means they could shoot me!! Or someone! or some animal! or themselves!”* or “OMG! You let your child out of the HOUSE without a helmet and kneepads and lab-quality breathing mask?”:rolleyes:. But then there’s the guys on the opposite end of the spectrum who’re going* “OMG! Gays in the Army!! They’ll give my son teh surprize buttsecks!!”*or “OMG! Illegal Mexican Muslims want to set up socialist Death Panels!!!”
