Poster Boy

I have been seeing this picture on various blogs for a couple of days now, and I guess I just can't resist bringing it to you:


















Yeah, I know, pretty standard teabagger fare, except for the fact that the man holding the sign there happens to be one Dale Robertson, the founder and president of the website Teaparty.Org, and one of the top leaders of the teabagger movement.

I think this guy makes a pretty good poster boy for them.

And anyone out there want to explain to me how teabaggers are not 1. racist and 2. stupid?

Do I count as a tea bagger? I did help plan two tea parties, the tax day one had 7000-8000 participants.

Freaking racist moron couldn't even spell the "N" word right.


You count as a dupe Derek. Tea Parties were invented by republicans to serve republicans.

Maybe you didn't hear me correctly: I helped plan two tea parties. I was a freshman in college. My friend Justin was behind the tea parties here in Columbus, and he was a freshman in college as well. He isn't employed by the Republican party nor did the Franklin county GOP even help out. We had a couple speakers where were Republicans but if you listen to what they say, they aren't praising many Republicans either.

They were invented by conservatives as a wakeup call for America.

Listen, Derek:

You've organized two tea parties.

When I was your age I had a permanent seat on the Republican State central committee in Michigan. Yes, you read that right. I knew the national chairman of the Republican party, who had an office right next to mine, and I was selected to be the national head of Youth for Romney (that's George, not Mitt) in his presidential campaign, before he destroyed his national political career by daring to tell the truth about the war in Vietnam.

It took me about ten months to wise up to what the Republican party was all about. The State party was grooming two of us for political careers. I quit, and the other guy ended up in prison in the Watergate affair.

It's getting time for you to figure it out too. You are serving a criminal enterprise. I am very happy that you care enough to involve yourself in the affairs of our country, but I would like to see you do it in a constructive manner.

Please then try to reason with me. Facts are most welcome!

No they're not, Derek. You believe anything you want. Facts mean nothing to you.

"Facts mean nothing to you."

All I do on here is give facts and logic. I ask for simple stats and facts yet you give me nothing. Also, when I give facts you ignore them and call me a liar.

Case in point when I said Republicans voted in favor of civil rights legislation 5X more often than Democrats, and that more republicans voted for the civil rights act of 1968 than democrats by percentage. I was correct, and you even presented the same stats I did, yet you claim I am wrong. Are you willing to admit that more Republicans voted for the civil rights legislation?

It's Okay, Never Mind

The woman in this picture, equipped with the weapons and ammunition shown, was found outside a National guard base. She is apparently a big Glenn Beck fan, and believed that the base was a FEMA concentration camp. Think she's the only one out there? You just know this sort of thing is not going to end well.

Wingnut Wrapup

 Well, I haven't done one of these in a while, but I thought it might be fun to see what the wingnuts are "thinking" lately, so let's just dive in: And the big news: "Breaking! Trump Just Truthed He's "The Real Commander-In-Chief" Well, he said it.  It must be true.  He "truthed" it! You know it wouldn't take long for this sort of "reporting" to happen: "Maui Directed Energy Weapon Assault, Like 9/11, Paradise, CA., Malibu and Boulder Fires" Of course, it can't be the result of global warming.  It must be the deep state attacking Hawaii for some reason.  That makes much more sense.  Here's a small selection of headlines from the dozens and dozens of other articles about this alleged treachery: "New Patriot Underground: Hawaiian Wildfire: Possible DEW Attack" Maui: "An Orchestrated Apocalypse" "Maui Hawaii Has DUMBs Underground 8 to 10 Sex Trafficking Tunnels We Just Lasered Them Out!

Hamas

  Of ocurse I am going to take the opportunity to talk about the Hamas attack on Israel.   First, I'd like to talk about my background, or baggage, regarding the country.   I have lived in Israel, some years ago.   This was not for religious reasons; I spent several months there working on a movie.   During pre-production, weeks of location scouting and shooting the movie, I was all over the country, and spent a fair amount of time in the West Bank, where we also shot.   This included a lot of places that normal tourists would not see, including predominantly Arab areas such as East Jerusalem, the Arab quarter of the old city, Ramla and the southern part of Jaffa, which is predominantly Arab.   It also included heavily Orthodox areas like Mea Shearim.   I dealt with Israeli Arabs, Palestinians and Bedouins.     Here are a few things I believe I learned there:   First of all, the Palestinians I knew were perfectly normal people with the same interest in living a safe, secure
