VIDEO- Tea Party organizer: We don't tolerate racist behavior

By GottaLaff




Tea Bagger Jenny Beth (the national coordinator for the Tea Party Patriots) claims that the group she pals around with will not tolerate racism:

"In Tea Party Patriots, we have no place for that," Jenny Beth Martin said on CNN's American Morning. "If we see somebody who's doing something racist, we tell them to leave our events."


Nope, to the contrary, she swearstogod the Tea Baggers are intolerant of such prejudice, while clinging to the three core values that really matter: fiscal responsibility, constitutionally limited government, and free markets.


And Martin said the movement is open to everyone, including racial and ethnic minorities, notwithstanding the fact that some national polls have indicated Tea Party activists and supporters of the movement are predominantly Caucasian.


And by predominantly, she means there were about 5 people of color that could be spotted at a recent event, per Keith Olbermann, if I recall. Oh let's be generous, let's call it ten. That way nobody can say it's an exaggeration.

Jenny Beth would have a whole lot more credibility if it weren't for blatant examples of Tea Bagger racism like these:





The Tea Baggers have a long way to go before they can replace those images with inclusive, big tenty ones showing their diverse membership kicking racists out of their rallies.

Poll-itics: Crist Grabs Lead in Early Poll

By GottaLaff

The Tea Tantrumers will start their whining in 5...4..3...2...
:

A new McLaughlin & Associates poll in Florida shows Gov. Charlie Crist (I) leading the U.S. Senate race with 33%, followed by Marco Rubio (R) at 29% and Rep. Kendrick Meek (D) at 15%.

Interestingly, the poll shows Crist taking more votes from Meek than Rubio. Crist actually does better with Democrats than Meek, with 41% of them saying they would vote for him compared to 31% for Meek.

Quickie: Big Oil Requests Government Help edition

By GottaLaff

Today's Quickie:

This just came via e-mail. See if you can spot the irony:

NEW ORLEANS (AP) BP official says company has asked for government help with oil in Gulf

If I recall, Big Oil pals around with FreedomWorks, who in turn pals around with Tea Baggers who in turn refuse to pal around with "Big Government".... unless they're in trouble. Then suddenly everyone wants to pal around with the evil D.C. socialist Marxist commie fascists.

All that indoctrination must have worked.

That was today's Quickie. Will you still respect me in the morning?

Tea Bagger mom readies her children for "Obamas tomorrow"... with guns

By GottaLaff

What a great mom:


There's nothing more patriotic than teaching your kids how to shoot a president. Or does "Obamas" mean his whole family? Maybe she was referring to future Obamas, meaning, what? Future black presidents?

Add her to the list of violent Tea Bagger gun crazies who hide behind the flag.

Child abuse isn't part of that "Family Values" thing, Mom. And IMHO, training your kids to use firearms specifically to ready them for "Obamas tomorrow" is child abuse. Be proud.

"Imagine if the Tea Party Was Black"

By GottaLaff
This is a must-read. I'll post a few excerpts, but please, go read the whole thing here.

Imagine that hundreds of black protesters were to descend upon Washington DC and Northern Virginia, just a few miles from the Capitol and White House, armed with AK-47s, assorted handguns, and ammunition. [...]

Imagine that white members of Congress, while walking to work, were surrounded by thousands of angry black people, one of whom proceeded to spit on one of those congressmen for not voting the way the black demonstrators desired. [...]

Imagine that a rap artist were to say, in reference to a white president: “He’s a piece of shit and I told him to suck on my machine gun.” [...]

Imagine that a black radio host were to suggest that the only way to get promoted in the administration of a white president is by “hating black people” [...]

Imagine a black political commentator suggesting that the only thing the guy who flew his plane into the Austin, Texas IRS building did wrong was not blowing up Fox News instead. [...]

In other words, imagine that even one-third of the anger and vitriol currently being hurled at President Obama, by folks who are almost exclusively white, were being aimed, instead, at a white president, by people of color. [...]

And this, my friends, is what white privilege is all about. The ability to threaten others, to engage in violent and incendiary rhetoric without consequence, to be viewed as patriotic and normal no matter what you do, and never to be feared and despised as people of color would be, if they tried to get away with half the shit we do, on a daily basis.
Tim Wise is among the most prominent anti-racist writers and activists in the U.S. Wise has spoken in 48 states, on over 400 college campuses, and to community groups around the nation. Wise has provided anti-racism training to teachers nationwide, and has trained physicians and medical industry professionals on how to combat racial inequities in health care. His latest book is called Between Barack and a Hard Place.

Go here for the rest.

Tea Baggers fine with big government when it comes to racial profiling

By GottaLaff

Dave Weigel found something interesting. The Tea Tantrumers are all for "big government" aka police states, after all.... at least when it comes to racial profiling in Arizona (click on image to enlarge):


So, here is one effort to give government more power that tea partiers are not pounding the pavement to oppose.

The Tea Bagger notification goes on to say:

We know that many of you work, but we have received word from the AZ State Capitol, that there are many anti-immigration people at the Capitol (and we think they are staying all night). They are also being bused in from California.

We are asking for you to spread the word to see if anyone is available to come down there "today" (Thursday) to show your support of the bill.

They are meeting by the Arizona Flag on the House Lawn. Bring American Flags and signs if possible.

Also, it is still very important to please call Governor Brewer at: 602-542-4331

We are also planning on going back on Friday at 11:00 A.M. (unless the Governor does the right thing and signs the bill). We are now hearing that she said she will do something on Friday.

Signs: We support "LEGAL" Immigration, In Mexico, You Must Be Legal... Why not here? - etc... (Printable signs will be placed below)

So "Obamacare" is intrusive and Marxist/commie/fascist/socialistic, but busting people for not "showing their papers" while wearing the wrong shoes is just dandy by them.

No hypocrisy there.

"The mainstream media have been complicit in legitimizing" Tea Baggers

By GottaLaff

Via an L.A. Times letter to the editor:

People of color who've observed the ascent of the so-called tea party movement didn't need a poll to tell them that this spasm is merely a racist backlash to the election of the nation's first African American president.

By failing to critique the tea party's Obama-as-socialist/illegal alien/terrorist rhetoric, the mainstream media have been complicit in legitimizing these canards.
The "anti-government" propaganda that the tea party spews about the healthcare overhaul was never in evidence during George W. Bush's massive expansion of government spending. And the privileged all-white tea party mobs who storm the Capitol in "outrage" over the Wall Street bailout have never felt motivated to challenge the GOP's welfare-for-corporate-America, free-enterprise-for-the-poor platform.

That just about covers it.

Million-Fan Anti-Obama Page Doesn't Break Facebook Rules

By GottaLaff

On April 15, I posted screen grabs of a(nother) horrific Facebook page wishing very bad things upon our president.

Here is one of the shots:



Today on Twitter, I've had a number of people ask me why the page hasn't been taken down yet, especially in light of all the reporting it to the powers that be.

Now we have our answer:

Our Roll Call colleague Daniel Newhauser reports that an anti-Obama Facebook page doesn't violate the site's standards. So it will stay up -- and keep annoying people who are offended at the idea of praying for a death.

Some standards.

When I first posted, the number of "fans" was at about 73,000. Guess what it is now...

Go ahead, guess. I'll wait.

... ... ...


... ... ...



That's right, 1,064,757 "like this." And that's just on a Facebook page.

1,064,757 "like" hatred, death, and this:

VIDEO: Tea-bagged Geico man fires back

By GottaLaff

Yesterday, Paddy posted about the Geico spokesman who got fired over an insulting telephone message he left for the Tea Baggers' little astroturf extended family, FreedomWorks.

FreedomWorks' Matt Kibbe then posted Douglas' cell number on biggovernment.com, which caused Douglas to get harassed and ultimately sacked.

None of this hubbub prevented Douglas from making light of the situation in his own riveting little video...

The Tea Baggers are getting nervous

By GottaLaff

Hey chums! Want to join me in some fun? Check out how jittery the Tea Tantrumers are getting.

Via an e-mail, with the subject line: Urgent! Bailout Bob is at it again.

A message to all members of Tea Party Nation


Bailout Bob Corker, (RINO-TN) is at it again

The liberals have three major agendas they want passed this year. The first was health care, the second is financial overhaul and the third is cap and tax.

While the liberals were able to take over 1/6 of the economy with healthcare, they are now trying to take over the remaining 5/6 with "financial reform" legislation.

This bill, written by Chris "Countrywide" Dodd, is a permanent bail out of the financial sector. It provides for advance funding for government take overs of banks. Although Corker denies this, it is a permanent bailout.

Until now, all 41 Republican Senators had stood firm, providing a filibuster that the liberals could not break. Now, that is changing. Corker has been signaling his willingness to work with Chris Dodd. This bill does nothing for the American people. It will only allow the government to control even more of our economy.

Corker needs to hear from all of us, regardless of whether you live in Tennessee. Call his offices as soon as you can and tell him not to compromise with Chris Dodd, and not to support this "financial reform."

Nashville 615-279-8125

Knoxville 865-637-4180

Memphis 901-683-1910

Chattanooga 423-756-2757

Tri-Cities 423-323-1252

Jackson 731-424-9655

Washington DC 202-224-3344

Send this email to your friends and encourage them to call Corker's offices. The Obama/Pelosi/Reid axis of fiscal evil are on the move again and Bailout Bob Corker is the one vote that could stop this.

Call him today!

VIDEO- Ed Schultz is fired up: "I think Palin is flat out stupid."

By GottaLaff

Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy



Earlier I liveblogged Ed's hard core, very welcome, heartfelt rant. Now you can see it for yourself.

Ed Schultz is fired up: "Fox fueled all of this stupidity!"

By GottaLaff

Ed Schultz went on a hard core rant just now, and I liveblogged; paraphrased some:

People on Potomac River are embarrassing Caucasians in this country. We have people of color advancing in America, we should be proud of this. They're a bunch of phonies. Obama has done nothing to take anyone's guns away!

Why didn't they do this in the last eight years? Why now? What has Barack Obama done? What have the liberals done?

Wall St: Where do the Tea Bag nut jobs stand on R's being responsible for it?

Fox fueled all of this stupidity.

[Shows clips of Palin, Bachmann, Beck, Hannity... others...]

6 idiots you can always count on.

[Plays clip of Clinton opining on Oklahoma City parallels]

That got the Drugster's attention today. [Plays Boss Limpdong clip].

Rush, there's no such thing as gov't. run media. They all want you to believe that gov't. is the problem. Let me give you something real easy to understand: Obama has an F rating, meaning suck, bad, from Brady campaign against gun violence.

Obama does NOT want your gun. He hasn't proposed a single thing that would infringe on 2nd amendment rights.

If we face another anti-gov't. attack, we could spiral out of control re: civil unrest. Media must focus on this. [Laffy Note: Thank you!] I do.

They're playing with the emotions of Americans out there who are easily misguided. ... who just live by a little bit of information...the 'two word culture.' We read less, don't have all the facts.

O'Reilly couldn't let his ego get out of the way, his own people called him on it, but he didn't back down. What does that tell you about responsibility in commentary?

We don't get the facts.

I think Palin is flat out stupid. Bachmann irresponsible. I feel good that I was angry, because I'm calling them out on it. I'm a lefty. I hunt and fish more than any of 'em. ...

Why is it that some people have a hard time with what's really happening out there? What's happening is that we are fed lies every day. There's a difference between debate and lies. O'Reilly lied.

Tea Partiers are misguided, mostly racist, afraid, clinging to their guns/religion, and in many respects are what's wrong with America, and sometimes we the media are what's wrong with America... because we COVER the Tea Party. That's a huge story? It's outta whack.

Whew!

Someone had to say it. Ed finally did.

VIDEO: Racist Obama buttons sold at Tea Party protest

By GottaLaff




Got a couple of dollars? Buy a racist pin! They make great gifts and swell stocking stuffers!

Hey kids, what time is it? Why, it's Tea Bagger Family Values Time!

They say it is not racist, and is the same kind of caricature that was drawn of President George W. Bush, when he was sometimes drawn with big ears, a goofy face, and drawn as a devil.

We addressed one of the event’s organizers about this. Debbie Landis says the button is offensive. She says people were not supposed to be selling items at the event today, and had she known, she would have put a stop to it.

See? No harm done, it's exactly like the Bush caricatures of a white man with no discernible I.Q. whatsoever! Okay, the I.Q. part just slipped out. Old habits die hard.

Had she known, said the event organizer as she failed to take action, she would have put a stop to it. But she should have known. And she didn't put a stop to it.

What an ass.

Did I say that out loud? Had I known, I would have put a stop to it.

Tom Tancredo to Tea Baggers: Send Obama back to Kenya

By GottaLaff

A few days ago, we got a closer look at a much younger Tom Tancredo, thanks to a reader who, sadly, witnessed his racism first hand. As I said in that post, we have covered this Palin and McCain-dissing, literacy test-endorsing, immigrant/Obama bashing, Ed Show-quitting cretin for some time.

Another day, another toxic story, this time via The Grio.

Tancredo was at a Tea Bagger rally in Greenville, South Carolina, hosted by the Upcountry Conservative Coalition, a local South Carolina conservative group. Tancredo was a keynote speaker:

From Jillian Rayfield, Talking Points Memo [...]

[Tancredo] said that Americans are "going to have to pray that we can hold on to this country."

He added, referring to President Obama: "If his wife says Kenya is his homeland, why don't we just send him back?"


I'm not sure why Ed Schultz continues to have this hate monger as a guest on his show, but hopefully it's to expose him for what he is. His obvious disdain for Not White People is despicable. This so-called "anger at the government" is no such thing. Well, maybe a little.

But let's call it what it really is: Anger at non-whites. Racism. The fact that an African American resides in the White House is driving these people crazy... literally. So crazy, in fact, that something tragic could very well occur, as in the Dr. Tiller scenario, or the Matthew Shepard scenario, or the James Byrd, Jr. scenario, and we'll know exactly who to blame.
