Tea party protesters use racial epithet against Georgia's John Lewis - Yahoo! News
Tea party protesters use racial epithet against Georgia's John Lewis

Demonstrators outside the U.S. Capitol , ( reports appear that they were ) are TEA BAGGERS) who were totally mad over the proposed health care bill, shouted "nigger" ( I am quoting the article) Saturday at U.S. Rep. John Lewis , a Georgia congressman and civil rights icon who was nearly beaten to death during an Alabama march in the 1960s.

The protesters also shouted obscenities at other members of the Congressional Black Caucus ..

It is sad that the Tea Baggers who try to tell us that they are somehow "patriots " fail to behave in an intelligent, sane, or human manner.
If Tea Baggers continue to behave like that they will eventually reflect upon the Tea BAG movement and sane humans will eventaullay reduce support of the Tea BAG movement.

That was the real disgrace of yesterday and the behavior of those Tea Baggers reflected upon the majority of them since the maority of the Tea Baggers did nothing to stop much behavior. !!!

sad sad sad !!!
 
This is the tip of the angry retard iceberg...

It's going to get way more stupid and violent before Beck, Bachmann, Palin and rest of the Sith Masters of the Moronic Minority realize the monster they've created does not respect the rule of law, elections, and other things American...

So what, they have every right to be pissed. I don't condone these actions but you can't say the whole tea party movement is this way. If I remember correctly there were fringe liberal groups slashing tires on election day on vehicles with Republican bumper stickers.

Regardless, the atrocity committed by the Democrats is nothing compared to a racial word of vandalism. They essentially raped the country and smacked their constituents in an arrogant, shady fashion.
 
... I don't condone these actions but...

See, this is a problem we have on both sides lately. It needs to stop being "I don't approve, but...", and become "I don't approve, period". This does not just extend to Tea Party excesses, but excesses on both sides. We need to take things back from the assholes.

By saying "but" I was not going into a justification of their actions. I was saying you can't judge the whole of the Tea Party movement by what the actions of a few people do. I don't condone their actions, period. However, these are actions done by individuals and the whole movement isn't like that. No one says every vegetarian throws paint on fur coats or vandalizes meat factories. You can't say every liberal is like the ones who slash tires and deem everyone ignorant before their "enlightenment." Likewise, you can't judge the whole Tea Party movement based on the wrong actions of a few very pissed of immature adults.

Democrats, this is as smart as it gets for your kind.

Regardless, it doesn't matter. The Tea Party Movement was huge, and it sent a very loud and reasonable message to politicians and those in the White House. But the Obama administration and Congress have already shown they don't care and are not listening. Nothing the Tea Partiers have requested has been granted; it's almost like Obama is waiting to see what stance the Tea Partiers will take on a particular issue, and then he will opt to do the exact opposite in response.

So by trying to dumb down any debate by making it personal and attacking the Tea Party just shows readers what type of intellectual lemming you are. Your insults to the Tea Partiers shows everyone that you have no :respekt: for anyone else but those who fully agree with your own opinion. It's a sad reality, to be honest. But the saddest part is that nobody is listening to the actual message the Tea Partiers are trying to get across, and the country simply trolls on like lemmings following a path of slow economic destruction.

America is not the same country it once was, just ten years ago, five year... heck, since yesterday. The socialists won, and the country will be crippled for it with no way to stop the downward spiral and path we've clearly taken. It's a sad day in America... :hm

First of all I did not say that the Tea Baggers did not have a right to protest. Yes this is American by God and the Tea Baggers have every right to be wrong and they really have show us lately that they are real good at being wrong. I did NOT say that the "whole tea party movement is this way" what I said is that these actions by the Tea Baggers reflects babdly on the Tea Bag movement. Fringe crap parts of many parties and movements do bad things and it should not paint the core movement but it does reflect poorly on the core movement especially if the core movemnet leaders and fellow travelers support such racist behavior.

It was my recollection that the story of the tire slashing was proven false just as was gthe story of Obama supporters writing on the forehead of a Palin or John supporter. Remember that it turned out that the bufoon girl wrote on her own forehead backwards as she used a mirror.

Whne fringe fools and buffons do something that reflects bably upon a party or movement the real leaders need to condemn such an act or the impression will be that the party or movement really supports the fringe fools.

I find it a dad hypocritical that you are upset about them saying "nigger" when you call them all by the offensive term "tea bagger." True these actions reflect badly on the movement, but they are the very small exception, not the rule. I think more is going on that pushes the Tea Party movement forward, not backwards.

Regardless of slashing tires or whatnot (which I did believe happened) we do know about voter intimidation done by the Black Panthers and the ACORN scandals. What I am saying is that a few pissed off immature adults acted like children having a fit. They have every right to be mad, but this is not the right way to vent their anger.

Ill informed, ignorant, and foolish people have believed for over a century that the "socialists" have taken over.

When child labor laws were enacted bufoons called that a socialist law becasue it hurt the "right" of factory owners to hire whoever they wanted.

When Social Security was enacted in the 1930's ill informed people called that the "end of America as we know it".

When the GI Bill was proposed Republican Senators and some Rep congressmen called it a "socialist" plan since all sorts of lazy riff raff and sons of "low life " workers would "go to college" and squander the resources of this nation. American will never be the same if sons of "low life " workers would "go to college" . Yup those Republicans were right the country changed, a middle class deleveloped and we saw the best economic increase ever.

When the Civil Rights law was passed racist yahoos said that it would "ruin America" and destroy what this country is and Black would rape all White women and Blacks would run amok and God forbid the country may elect a Black president some day. OMG the coutry will be ruined since we have Civil Rights. LOL

I do not know that the term Tea Bagger is "hypocritical " since that is the way I have heard them called and when I first saw pictures and videos of Tea Baggers protesting they they actually had tea bags hanging from their hats. I do not know if it was Salada, or Tetley but I do not think that it was green tea.

I did hear that the term Tea Baggers does have a urban definition but since I do not travel in that area I do understand that definition. My neighbor who has gone to Tea BAG protests called himself a Tea Bagger. I thought that he was bragging about his Salada on a string !!!

They were first called that by liberal news outlets who wanted to demonize the whole group and make fun of them. The Tea Party movement calls itself the Tea Party movement, not the tea baggers. Everyone knows what tea bagging means, and it's highly inappropriate. If you don't know what it means I'll just say it's reference to a very lewd and disgusting sexual practice.
 
Democrats, this is as smart as it gets for your kind.

Anytime you end a sentence with "for your kind" you paint a very clear picture of yourself...

Loud - yes.

Reasonable - not by a long shot.

How many times do I have to say this -- we don't live in a Direct Democracy. We live in a Republic -- you don't get to request squat. You get to vote.

So by trying to dumb down any debate by making it personal and attacking the Tea Party just shows readers what type of intellectual lemming you are. Your insults to the Tea Partiers shows everyone that you have no :respekt: for anyone else but those who fully agree with your own opinion. It's a sad reality, to be honest.

Get it though your heads -- up until now, this uneducated, misinformed mass called Tea Party was a joke -- fodder for stand-up comics and political cartoons.

But when you start throwing bricks -- it's not funny because now we have to arrest you and do all that paperwork to throw you in jail with the rest of the criminals...

It's a sad day in America... :hm

Indeed. When people start forgetting how elections work and how a Republic works... when they get violent because they didn't get what they wanted... when they get violent because they watch a rodeo clown on TV who fills their tiny heads with fear and rage...

Sad, sad, sad....
 
I guess because of Fred Phelps all antiwar protesters must wish for the death of more US troops and hate gays.

See, this is a problem we have on both sides lately. It needs to stop being "I don't approve, but...", and become "I don't approve, period". This does not just extend to Tea Party excesses, but excesses on both sides. We need to take things back from the assholes.

The Rhetoric has gotten real bad lately but let us be honest it is the extreme right that has been the most vicious lately. Rush Limbaugh called the Democrats who voted for "THE BILL" bastards. Some Republican needs to get a set of balls and tell Rus to STFU !!!

When and if a whacks from the left attacks the military when the Lefto is protesting the Iraq War that Lefto needs to be told STFU !!!

So yes I agree in principle that the excesses need to be slapped down.

yet only the honest intelligent person will ever admitt that there are dangerous whack jobs on both sides.

So to both fringes of whacks STFU !!!

Fred Phelps is not really anti-war he has some whacked out FAUX religious agenda !!! As far as I know!!!
 
I guess because of Fred Phelps all antiwar protesters must wish for the death of more US troops and hate gays.

Fred Phelps is a Christian.....like you....
 
Fred Phelps is a Christian.....like you....

Fred Phelps says Christians like me and others are going to hell for not screaming hellfire to the fag nation and protesting the war/protesting at fallen soldier's funerals. What does that make him if he says all Christians who aren't like him are going to hell too?

Look - There are assholes on both sides of the aisle. Yup, I remember the asshole Liberals who slashed tires. You are welcome to post about that in another thread. This one is about assholes on the right. Yes, Virginia, there are assholes there too.

Frankly, it is dishonest to make excuses for your assholes, while pointing out crap committed in the past by their assholes. And your assholes did much more than just call Congressman John Lewis a nigger. They called Barney Frank a faggot. They called Congressman Ciro Rodriguez of Texas a wetback. One of them threw a brick through the window of Louise slaughter. And one of them spit on Congressman Emanuel Cleaver. But I suppose you are going to call them Liberals now. LOL.

So yes, your assholes aren't very good people either. If I were you, I wouldn't support assholes, whether they are Democrats or Republicans. Like I said, it is just dishonest to make excuses for one asshole, while bashing another asshole for being the same kind of asshole that your asshole is.

The point I am making here is that assholes are assholes, no matter which side of the aisle they reside on. And this thread is about your assholes, not their assholes. Feel free to start a separate thread on their assholes, and I will be more than happy to jump right in and agree with you. But this is not the thread for that. And if you want to call me an asshole for pointing out assholes for you, then feel free to. I've been called an asshole before, and this won't be the last time I am called an asshole either. :mrgreen:

You must be from a diferent generation becasue no I did not know that " Everyone knows what tea bagging means".. I really do not want to know what that "lewd and disgusting sexual practice" is. I also do not belive that the naming of Tea Baggers was based on some urban dictionary meaning of Tea Baggers. Obviously we all k now what the original Tea Party of the pre- Revolution was and why the Baggers use tea bags as a symbol. They hung tea bags from their hats and brought tea bags to protests. They sent tea bags to politicians and aske everyone to do the same. So I saw them with their tea bags as in Salada and do not see Tea Baggering as a "lewd and disgusting sexual practice".. I see it as meaning those people who go to Tea Party protests.



SOme time ago I responded to a ppost here an I refered to the term "fish sticks". In my day fish sticks were crap fish blobs that were seerved in high school on Fridays. I had a MOD right here laugh at me becasue he/she/ or it had some urban definition from some TV show that I almost never watched. So guess what "everyone did not know that fish sticks" has an urban meaning for the peni of a fish just as "every goes not know that Tea Baggers" in some crude lewd screwed sexual practice.

At least not in my age group !!!!

So if those protestors want to have their tea bags with their fish sticks I do not care....

I completely agree with you. I don't want to sound like I am justifying what these people did, and I don't want to sound like I am condoning it. However, what I am trying to say is that these people do not reflect the movement as a whole, they are immature individuals, and these a**holes deserved to be wiped of their crap.

You must be from a diferent generation becasue no I did not know that " Everyone knows what tea bagging means".. I really do not want to know what that "lewd and disgusting sexual practice" is.

So if those protestors want to have their tea bags with their fish sticks I do not care....

The term tea baggers originated by journalists at CNN and MSNBC when they were covering the Tea Party protests. The group does not refer to themselves as tea baggers and most take offense when being called that. The use of tea bags is to parallel the Boston Tea Party and how they rebelled because of taxation without representation.

I am sorry for suggesting that everyone knows what the term tea bagging means. But regardless it is a lewd sexual practice and it was first used as a joke by the left to delegitimize the movement and poke fun at it.
