TEA Party: White, wealthier, FOX fans

Hey People,

If you're having as much trouble understanding what the Teabagger racists are saying as I am, here's a handy Teabagger Language guide for you.

The Illustrated Teabagger Dictionary:

"Ever wondered what "Real America" means? Or how precisely Sarah Palin defines communism and fascism? Look no further. Using misspelled Teabagger placards, from this excellent Flickr gallery, we've compiled the first comprehensive dictionary for this new dialect."

"Here are 24 key words, and their associated misspelled placards, that are now charged with the fevered, dog-whistling undertones of Fox News and the new right."

There was a reactionary movement in the making, once President Obama and Vice-President Biden won our White House. It is hard for people to give up their privileges easily, that's why the T.Baggers appeared in such numbers, with such venom. Their tactics of intimidation, bullying and lying didn't sit well with the average, sensible American, thus they command a miniscule number of fringe followers, who are more interested in the status quo, than "...liberty and justice for all."!!
SUPPORT OUR TROOPS, BRING THEM HOME, ALIVE AND WHOLE. NOW.

I bet "don't know" comes up a lot in Teabagger polling.

98 percent of Americans are getting a tax cut this year thanks to Democratic legislation that was opposed by every single Republican in Congress. And yet the Teabaggers are still upset, of course, since this is somehow more evidence of "socialism/fascism/communism/naziism"....or something. They are distraught that the richest 2 percent aren't getting their taxes cut as well. ;-(
.
http://www.ctj.org/obamastaxcuts.php

So here's an idea! -- How about 100 percent of the Teabaggers send their tax cut to the 2 percent richest Americans who didn't get one? Sure, Sarah Palin made over $12 million last year, but she didn't get a tax cut! So the Teabaggers can helpfully send her their tax cut so that she can accumulate more wealth.

And in Right Wing Trickle-Down fantasy land, that means more jobs for everyone. Yeay!

And here's a form that's been put together to make it easier for Teabaggers to forward their hard earned tax cuts to the richest of the rich. It's a great opportunity for them to put their words into action.

This is a movement that simply cannibalizes existing GOP voters. It is not some grassroots phenomenon sweeping all kinds of citizens across the nation. It's a bunch of angry, white rich guys upset that someone like Obama is in power.

When HHH uses homophobic slurs to ridicule people he is not able to comprehend, we see that he is a classic ignorant liberal who cannot deal with any disagreement without stooping to vapid rants.

Based on his attitude, and that of Mark Silva and other reporters, we know the following:

HHH wants to run up national debts of $1 TRILLION a year for the next 10 years.

HHH does not pay enough in taxes and thinks he should pay more.

HHH likes paying for illegal aliens in schools, work and hospitals, and likes having the cheap labor around.

HHH thinks the government is not big enough, and must become even more controlling.

HHH thinks Blacks and Hispanics are inferior and can only be helped by smart white folks like HHH.

HHH has no idea about history and the fact that every leading segregationist in the 50's, 60's and 70's was a staunch Democrat. These people include the current senior Senator from West Virgina, Al Gore's daddy, and a guy that Clinton gave the Presidental Medal of Freedom to, for trying to keep Blacks using the "Colored" water fountain in the Capital.

HHH likes spending $20,000 per student in Chicago to get a 20% High School graduation rate, and a 6% college graduation rate.

Here is a prediction - HHH and other members of the brain-dead Left and Obamanation will fail to address any of these issues that the Tea Party is angry over, and instead will launch into personal attacks and rantings that will end in a pool of spittle.

I am not a polling expert but this is contrary to other findings that the Tea Party makeup is almost exactly the makeup of the country. Also 28% are Democrats. Don't flame me, I didn't do the poll.

http://www.PoliticalCentrist.com News and views for independent voters

I see the Taxed Enough Already article brought out the love big government and entitlement crowd.

One thing you left out of who the Tea Party Represents: Tax Payers. You know those people that the constitution protects from taxation without representation.

Why would anybody want to pay taxes to support people that don't respect them. Like these people that go out of the way to coarsen and cheapen the discussion at every chance, much like the rest of the liberals who love big government, because they can't make a living. The people you revile are the very ones that are supplying you and your precious government, filled with lying scumbag politicians, with tax dollars.

Both parties are totally corrupt
Outfox the Neocon hijacking

constitutionalists
conservatives
independents
progressives
republicans
libertarians
democrats
liberals
greens ALL want liberty

Freedom is popular

Escaped from the Psych Ward,

I didn't start calling you fools: "Teabaggers", you called yourself that. The next time you right wing morons create an astroturf group you might want to take a look at the Urban Dictionary beforehand before you name it.

I hope Republicans nominate Palin in 2012. The Planet Wingnuttia Teabagger ggons should love her. They like not-too-smart candidates (Reagan, Bush2). They like candidates who are totally uninformed and who merely repeat one of the twelve Conservative platitudes in response to each and every question. They like candidates who will increase the wealth of the wealthy, reduce the income of the lower class, and outsource our jobs. They also love candidates who will increase the national debt (Reagan $1.5 trillion; Bush1 $1.5 trillion, Bush2 $5.5 trillion).

HHH, your link is to a photo that reads: Tea bag the liberal dems before they teabag you.

How does that justify your statement?

I remember before Bush in vaded Iraq, just before, the antiwar folk had a permit for Federal Plaza in Chicago.

SWAT teams marshaled in lobbies of the smaller buildings near the Plaza.

My guess : that won't happen tomorrow.

It's an ersatz movement. They very carefully don't attack military spending, do they? Only health care and social security.

Crying Wingnut,
Surprisingly, you're right about one thing. The Teabagger minions ARE all about protecting the tax payers....the billionaire tax payers.

And taxation without representation? Yeah, you're close on that one too. Seeing as how the Teabagger Republicans in congress have done everything in their power to bring the peoples gov't to a screeching halt, ever since the American people voted them into the minority.

Escaped from NY, HHH, formerly known on these pages as "John E." does not pay taxes, wants the government bigger, doesn't care how much the government spends, and wants those who do pay taxes to pay even more so he can continue to do nothing in life but live in mummy's and daddy's basement terrorizing the world.
Also, HHH, it was not the Tea Party people who called themselves "teabaggers," but the liberal media and your loony ilk. Tea Party people used the phrase "Tea Bag Congress" and stuff like that, which is a totally different context. No Tea Party person said, "I am a teabagger," or "we are teabaggers."

Anyway, Mark, even professinal pollsters can skew numbers by who they call, etc. I would be curious as to how this and any poll is done of those in the Tea Party movement. Most polls actually show that many of the Tea Party people are independents. One finding of the poll that I certainly do agree with is that we are largely highly educated. Certainly more educated and wiser than anything that comes out of the Loony Brain Dead Left.

Anderson Cooper coined the phrase. No one in the Tea Party used that term. Cooper apologized; at least he showed a minimum amount of class.

What do you want to bet they'll re-nominate McCain?

My bet is: not a one of them will want to run against Barack in 2012.

Palin looks like she's gaining weight.

Remember, those Foxxx cameras make you look fatter. And dumber.

The TEA Party movement might have been credible if they had formed during the Paulson/Bush TARP administration and during all the big lie Bush/Cheney emergency "war" funding. Hypocrites and bigots. Hot air, no hot water. TP--toilet paper. Has Palin embarrassed herself yet? Or is that the part of her brain that's missing?

DERANGED LIBERALS Doing What DERANGED LIBERALS Do

If you go to the first image in HHH’s very first link, and enlarge that image to 150% or 200%, you can clearly see that the last offensive word on the poster in that picture IS NOT consistent with the rest of the poster. Someone HAS ALTERED this poster.

Just like Global Warming, Liberals, you do a whole lot of FRAUDULENT manufacturing. You totally lack CHARACTER AND CREDIBILITY. A four year old can see through this.

This is the type of stuff that little kids on the playground would do.
There is just no way to have a civil debate with you delusional fools on the Left when you put so much effort into creating your own throw-down fake images.

"They have favorable impressions of Sarah Palin, Glenn Beck and George W. Bush, but not Ron Paul or John McCain.
--------------------

Glenn Beck asks legitimate questions about the operating practices of this government, something that the Liberal MSM no longer has any serious interest in pursuing. At what moment in America did this become something sinister in nature?

Socrates asked questions. Witless Dolts accept whatever is placed in front of them because they are either witless or they are just dolts. Someone would need to tell me.

Death and Taxes

“In this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes.” (BenjaminFranklin); ”Taxes are the price we pay for civilization.“ (Oliver Wendell Holmes)

Franklin was semi-correct in his observation, in the death part, but though taxes are always with us the rates are always negotiable in a civilized society thus adding a degree of uncertainty.

The Obama administration commented on death without ever using the word. In the context of a nuclear attack on the United States we were reminded, (just reminded, mind you), that local agencies should and would be the first responders and decimated cities shouldn’t expect to see the feds on hand for 72 hours or more.

The reader may recall the uproar over FEMA’s slow response in the aftermath of Katrina when President G.W. Bush was lambasted for doing a flyover over New Orleans and commending FEMA head Michael Brown (”Brownie, you’re doing a heck of a job”). President Obama seems to want to forestall any such criticism by warning local officials not to expect any “significant federal response” for up to four days if they were nuked.

Barry, you’re doing a heck of an advance job.

It’s bad enough that Obama was talking about the unthinkable, a terrorist nuclear attack on an American city, but he gives fair warning that the surviving victims would be on their own for a good few days. Brownie screwed up after massive flooding; Barry is planning to screw up after a mushroom cloud rises above NYC or LA or SF or DC.

Some 1836 people died from Katrina, a horrendous toll. Tens of thousands would be killed in a nuclear blast but fear not, says the White House in a guide posted online and sent to local officials, in effect saying you guys will be just fine until we get around to you.

And what would that blast do? “A 10-kiloton nuclear explosion would level buildings within half a mile of ground zero, generate 900-mph winds, bathe the landscape with radiation and produce a plume of fallout that would drift for hundreds of miles, the guide says.” That would be followed by chaos so the plan is for the feds to hang back until things were more settled: http://bit.ly/agkd93

Then there’s tax news, which seems cheerful in comparison. . .

You’ve had an extra strong cup of Kool-Aid if you think that anyone is going to nominate Sarah Palin for any office come 2010. That isn’t gonna happen.
.
You have to see Palin for what she is. She is a cheerleader. She gets her talking points from someone else. Her job is to keep people motivated to hew the conservative line until an actual candidate or two can step up to the plate. She keeps the natives on the war-path to scare Republican incumbents and potential candidates into embracing fiscal and institutional conservatism (for real, for once). You know, the small government, tight-fisted-with-the-money stuff?
.
No one in their right mind (as in correct mind) would nominate her for office. She doesn’t have the knowledge, fortitude, smarts or independence of thought to do the job. Anyone who thinks we would use a nuclear weapon in response to cyber terrorism (like she just said we would) is obviously incompetent. Believe it or not, this is obvious even to conservatives.
.
But go ahead and believe she will be a contender. You don’t believe me anyway. I won’t try to correct your mistakes any more. That way, you (and those like you) will simply believe the contest is already won. You won’t correct your attitude or actions in time to exert an effort to win. That will be two mistakes on your part.

Well Obama WAS born in Hawaii after all...isn't that a foreign country? Anyone who was born in paradise must be an alien. And he keeps having these crazy ideas that he can work with Republicans and get some good stuff done for the American people...that alone should show you how he wants to ruin the country for our and his children for generations to come.

The idea of tax revolt is not new - and revolt against tyrannical taxation was romanticized in 18th Century literature. The modern Tea Baggers live in the romanticized fantasy world of Robin Hood and Zorro. .......

I see HHH and Don Fitzgerald are out with their usual unoriginal Far Left Wing Rants that sound like they are left over from an old Keith Olbermann Show condemning all they do not agree with. The usual Donny rant is "Ugh, Republicans and Libertarians are bad people, Obama and Democrats are good people." Don still still does not know what a Libertarian is and I am surprised that he has not thrown in Independents and Moderate Democrats in the groups he does not like.or what they stand for. But what puzzles me is a new statement (highly unusual for Don), that he made: "It is hard for people to give up their privileges easily, that's why the T.Baggers appeared in such numbers, with such venom." My question to Don is what "privileges" are you talking about? Are the "privileges" you are talking about is that those people are upset about paying high taxes to support the freeloaders in this country that want everything for nothing? I do not know what you mean Don. You need to explain your statement further about these "privileges" that upsets you so much. We are all waiting for your answer. In fact we should have a pool on whether your response is the usual predictable left wing rant or really something original that we can have an intelligent discussion about.

There's a sign at a Tea Party rally that pretty much sums up what the Tea Party thinks of the media: "It doesn't matter what my sign says, the media will call it racist"

thge tea party is just a new way for the republican party to lie. If it was real grass roots they wouldnt be inviting the same republicans that got us into this mess to be guest speakers. get real the tea party is owned and operated by the same lossers that brang us this the war in iraq. dont fall for there little games.

"Wah Wah Wah Stop calling us TeaBaggers!!:(" Boo hoo! You don't want to be called TeaBaggers? Then stop stapling TeaBags onto your hats when you show up to your TeaKlan parties! You lost, get over it. This is how democracy works. The majority gets to pass their agenda. That's not tyranny. That's democracy. America understood what Obama wanted to do when he got into office and voters rejected you! And they rejected you again, most recently on Tuesday in the special election for a Congressional seat in FL.

I'd like to see a breakdown of who actually pays taxes in this country and see how it matches up against this poll.
Why would 1/2 the country that doesn't pay any taxes participate? These people are parasites and only care about what they can suck off the goverment. I guess we could sum up the democrat's party as anti-white, entitlement minded, not contributing parasites who watch CNN & MSNBC, NBC, CBS & ABC

Just to name one, " d ", Medicare Advantage, in which 80% of medicare recipients pay for the 20% that receive this private insurance policy. That is, but one of the many so-called privileges, that the T.Baggers claimed to be owed. The biggest one is the idea that they can live in this great country of ours and think that they don't have to pay for that privilege. I am on a fixed income and I gladly pay my taxes. In the history of my working years, I have never itemized my taxes and I am proud to state that fact. Granted, I never made a whole lot of money, nor did I ever have a family to support, but even still, I never hid behind shelters, loopholes or false claims. I paid my share, every year, without complaint. It is too bad there aren't more americans like that.
SUPPORT OUR TROOPS, BRING THEM HOME, ALIVE AND WHOLE. NOW.

A CBS/Times poll, sorry but I cannot take any poll they do seriously. And I would say the same about a poll from Fox news. I will stick with the Gallup and Rasmussen polls about the Tea Party. Especially after reading how the mainstream media has shown their bias against anything to do with the Tea Party Movement. For all of you members of the lunatic fringe on the left I have one word for you, midterm. Keep right on with the childish names. The reports of a leader in a liberal organization along with the Service Employee Union International stating that they are in the business of infiltrating the Tea Party Movement just so they can make the Movement members look crazy. Obama has accomplished one great thing so far that is he has made more of the voters pay close attention to what is going on in the political world.

Hmmm, Don, it seems to me from your writings about your taxes that you never owned anything and as you said never made much money. Chances are, whatever income taxes you did pay were quite minimal. If my income taxes were quite minimal I wouldn't mind paying them either!

Just to name one, " d ", Medicare Advantage, in which 80% of medicare recipients pay for the 20% that receive this private insurance policy. That is, but one of the many so-called privileges, that the T.Baggers claimed to be owed.

As usual your latest rant does not make a whole lot of sense. Although I do not know much about the "Teabaggers" I never heard they claimed they were owed the privilege of having Medicare Advantage coverage which was passed and signed into law by Democratic President Bill Clinton. The other comment is that the so called "Teabaggers" live in this country and to not pay for the "privilege" to do so. Are you accusing members of the group of paying NO taxes? And I do not understand what you mean by charging "Teabaggers" and I presume others for the "Privilege" of of living in the United States. Does this mean just general income and other taxes or are you advocating a special tax on them? I congratulate you for being a hard worker and paying your taxes. But just because some one itemizes their taxes does not make them bad or dishonest as you seem to suggest. When someone has to itemize their taxes that means they are declaring additional income or expenses and not that they are making false claims. I am sorry you have a problem with this but that is in the United States and Individual State Tax Codes passed by our elected representatives and signed into law by Presidents or Governors. Unfortunately there are people that cheat on their taxes but the vast majority of us out here do Not. We, like it seems you do, pay our taxes. Don, may I suggest that if you are so upset over legal tax shelters and loopholes, and I think one can make a good argument against tax shelters, that you support a "Flat Tax" where everyone pays the same percentage of their income. A "Flat Tax" would do away with tax shelters and write offs and have a straight tax. And it would probably raise more tax revenue. It has been proposed in Congress but both parties have voted it down.

Here are just a few examples of the violent leftist thugs:

Now I remember what they remind me of--

Earth Day celebrants of olden times.

Anyway, JD in speculating on Don's tax bracket, seems to overlook that he may have inherited a huge portfolio of municipal bonds, tax free income. Or may , like Warren Buffett, be sitting on assets, like the Marlboro Diamond, or a Stradivarius, that can be spirited away and sold offshore, without tax on the gain, which could be a very large number indeed...

or.....

but y'all know these dodges already.

From press accounts, of course.

This actually was not a good year for the Tboners.

Tax rates are at historic lows. They'll get more traction when the Bush tax cuts "expire".

But by then, it'll be too late and too little. Too little impact on 98 % of filers, I mean....

TEA Party Poll

Just as a ham sandwich can be indicted with a little effort, any poll can be skewed depending on the pre-conceived notions of the poll takers, the wording of the questions, the tone of the questioners, etc.

With that in mind, when a political poll is conducted by CBS News and the New York Times it’s immediately suspect. When the subject of that poll is the participants in the TEA Party phenomenon now sweeping the nation, one should always take the results with a hefty grain of salt.

Nevertheless, the results are interesting even given the decidedly leftist nature of the pollsters.

Based on 1580 respondents in a random telephone sample. of whom 56% were TEA Party supporters, the poll was conducted April 5th-12th. Some of the highlights: . . .

The gig is up for the T-baggers.

It has become too obvious they have been drinking a little too much of their own hater-aid and believe their own hate-rhotic lies.

Time top quit pampering these clowns.

The Contract from America

We, the undersigned, call upon those seeking to represent us in public office to sign the Contract from America and by doing so commit to support each of its agenda items, work to bring each agenda item to a vote during the first year, and pledge to advocate on behalf of individual liberty, limited government, and economic freedom.

Individual Liberty

Our moral, political, and economic liberties are inherent, not granted by our government. It is essential to the practice of these liberties that we be free from restriction over our peaceful political expression and free from excessive control over our economic choices.

Limited Government

The purpose of our government is to exercise only those limited powers that have been relinquished to it by the people, chief among these being the protection of our liberties by administering justice and ensuring our safety from threats arising inside or outside our country’s sovereign borders. When our government ventures beyond these functions and attempts to increase its power over the marketplace and the economic decisions of individuals, our liberties are diminished and the probability of corruption, internal strife, economic depression, and poverty increases.

Economic Freedom

The most powerful, proven instrument of material and social progress is the free market. The market economy, driven by the accumulated expressions of individual economic choices, is the only economic system that preserves and enhances individual liberty. Any other economic system, regardless of its intended pragmatic benefits, undermines our fundamental rights as free people.

1. Protect the Constitution

Require each bill to identify the specific provision of the Constitution that gives Congress the power to do what the bill does. (82.03%)

2. Reject Cap & Trade

Stop costly new regulations that would increase unemployment, raise consumer prices, and weaken the nation’s global competitiveness with virtually no impact on global temperatures. (72.20%)

3. Demand a Balanced Budget

Begin the Constitutional amendment process to require a balanced budget with a two-thirds majority needed for any tax hike. (69.69%)

4. Enact Fundamental Tax Reform

Adopt a simple and fair single-rate tax system by scrapping the internal revenue code and replacing it with one that is no longer than 4,543 words—the length of the original Constitution. (64.90%)

5. Restore Fiscal Responsibility & Constitutionally Limited Government in Washington

Create a Blue Ribbon taskforce that engages in a complete audit of federal agencies and programs, assessing their Constitutionality, and identifying duplication, waste, ineffectiveness, and agencies and programs better left for the states or local authorities, or ripe for wholesale reform or elimination due to our efforts to restore limited government consistent with the US Constitution’s meaning. (63.37%)

6. End Runaway Government Spending

Impose a statutory cap limiting the annual growth in total federal spending to the sum of the inflation rate plus the percentage of population growth. (56.57%)

7. Defund, Repeal, & Replace Government-run Health Care

Defund, repeal and replace the recently passed government-run health care with a system that actually makes health care and insurance more affordable by enabling a competitive, open, and transparent free-market health care and health insurance system that isn’t restricted by state boundaries. (56.39%)

8. Pass an ‘All-of-the-Above” Energy Policy

Authorize the exploration of proven energy reserves to reduce our dependence on foreign energy sources from unstable countries and reduce regulatory barriers to all other forms of energy creation, lowering prices and creating competition and jobs. (55.51%)

9. Stop the Pork

Place a moratorium on all earmarks until the budget is balanced, and then require a 2/3 majority to pass any earmark. (55.47%)

10. Stop the Tax Hikes

Permanently repeal all tax hikes, including those to the income, capital gains, and death taxes, currently scheduled to begin in 2011. (53.38%)

CNN post on their site that based on their poll, about 10% of Americans are Tea Bagger. I laughed so hard. . .because at the end of the paragraph, the survey was based on asking roughly 1,000 people. So, 10% of 1,000 is about 100 people. Somehow 100 people represent 10% of Americans. Yet, Obama's supporters number 40-60 millions plus the consolidation of Mrs. Clinton's supporter in 2012. Sure, the Tea Baggers will have a victory here and there. . .just as even a blind squirrel can find a few nuts here and there.
