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.

If a Tree Falls In the Woods

 And nobody hears it, is it really running for President at all? First of all, a note about my absence lately:  My wife got me to sign up for an account at Threads, which is sort of like X without the assholes.  I've spent a little time establishing myself there, and I have to say, I do like the relatively immediate exchange of views, but I don't mean to give up my blog- there are still so many things that can't be dealt with in a couple hundred words, so, perhaps to your dismay, I am back. So, what motivated the above question is the fact that the Sunday New York Times today had seven articles about Trump, and absolutely zero about Kamala Harris.   The Republicans have a problem with Harris, in that virtually everyone who sees her likes her and immediately understands how qualified she is to be President.  They have tried mightily the last month to find some way to smear her, but have been spectacularly unsuccessful- the tactics of character assassination ...

Wingnuts Slightly Annoyed about that $83 Million

Image
How can you look like a decrepit old geezer and an out of control two year old at the same time? I thought it might be nice to look in on wingnut world to see how they are taking yesterday's $83 million dollar Trump legal loss.  You kind of know that they will decide it shouldn't affect their opinion of him in any way, but it might be helpful to see just how the Republican party has trained them to reject any fact they don't like.  Not that surprisingly, a lot of the usual wingnut suspects didn't touch this loss at all, preferring to just ignore anything that interferes with their hateful daydreams, but here are a few excerpts from an article at Gateway Pundit, along with a sample of the hundreds of comments it received.  Enjoy.  Or not. "Trump attorney Alina Habba WENT OFF after the crooked New York City court slapped President Trump with an $83 million judgment for speaking out against the disgusting lies of a crazed woman who said he lured her into a Bergdorf Go...
