Early Afternoon Drooling Teatard Quotes

Oh, thank goodness. Tea Partiers make a firm stand against racist rhetoric.

Rockford, IL tea party organizer David Hale, told the Chicago Tribune "he does not want to stifle the movement's individual nature but' would challenge participants who call [President] Obama a 'Nazi' or use any racial slurs." (When asked by the Tribune what he thinks of Obama, Hale called him "a pure socialist and on the verge of communism.")

And we're very impressed that Mr. Hale can differentiate between Nazis & "socialists on the verge of communism." That sort of awareness is somewhat lacking in the movement.

A different ninny tells us this:

"There's a lot of pent up hostility," McClellan said. "The tea parties have always been peaceful, until the health care bill got passed. That was a whole year before anything happened."

Now someone admits something "happened." Of course, the passage of a bill is as good a justification as any for releasing pent-up hostility.

He said he expects more people to turn out at the April 15 protests around the country than ever before. Despite all the changes to rhetoric and self-awareness, McClellan said the core beliefs of the tea party haven't changed.

"It's a pretty simple concept," he told me. "The people we elect to office should listen to us."

The corollary to McClellan's theory of government is that if your candidate isn't elected, then whoever won has no obligation to listen to you, loser. Why do those who remember nothing from high school civics make the most noise about politics? Has it ever occurred to these ignoramuses that if they want their precious voices of reaction & repression to be heard, they might want to start w/ public financing of electoral campaigns? Of course not: They're reactionaries. As such, they are incapable of finding new solutions. Standing athwart history screeching hysterically is all they can handle.

And, more Tea Partying Fools open their cakeholes.
