What's the TEA bagger/party shit? Taxed enough already. Assuming it's right wing. I don't follow politics so could someone explain this in a way that someone like me would understand?
It's a bunch of racists that only protest against the Government's "tyranny" when a Black Democrat is screwing with the country, but had no problem when a White Redneck was fucking them in the ass.
A group of people who, while rightfully pissed off that our president is a fucktard and on the path to being among the worst in American history (which is saying quite a lot after 8 years of Bush, but leave it to the liberals to one up him), decided to voice their displeasure by continually making both themselves and the party whose fiscal beliefs they mimic look like total retards. Not that Republicans need help doing that or anything seeing how they already bend over backwards to cater to extremist idiots, but you get the idea.
LOL @ Obama being even close to the worst president in history (or bush for that matter), but otherwise yup.
He is actually pretty standard and middle of the road, nowhere near one of the worst, or best for that matter.
teabagger (n) an old pensioner who collects Medicare and Social Security who hates, hates socialism and is horrified the president is black or something
It's an odd consortium of paranoid schizophrenics who don't take their meds, racists, /b/tards, fat people, Southerners, Alex Jones listeners, and Ron Paul supporters, with a significant amount of overlap between all of the categories. The kind of people who not only listen to Coast to Coast, but regularly call in.
We have no idea how good or bad he is of a president and I'm getting tired of how people are judging him. Its not like we see him actually making decisions and facing the challenges and options he is facing. Let history decide and go take a dump or something. (I prefer what you said to others saying he is bad straight up).
This. I just don't get it when people have all of these bumper stickers hating obama. Like all of these problems just came out of know where two years ago when he got in office. Their are some serious rednecks here in Nevada.
the teabagger, in a nutshell. in the 2nd cartoon, he is in the same boat as the guy on the left but pretends he's the guy on the right.
Don't really want to hijack the thread but, another noob question; I don't really follow US politics, so can someone explain why Obama is so bad?
Obama is so bad because people like to blame the dis-functionality of the house and senate on the black dude.
He's not because being anti-Obama is racist. It's too difficult to hold our president and his administration accountable for his/their job performance, so changing the subject to make those who are critical of it defend their own morality is the best alternative.
it is indeed possible to be anti-Obama without being racist. though to date, i haven't seen any examples of people who would fit this description. just being honest.
People were calling Obama the worst president ever one month into his term. At least for Bush we waited until he started shipping American citizens off to prison camps in Cuba.
I predict riots if Obama doesn't get a second term. Especially considering Bush got a second. That would be the ultimate collective troll by the U.S. on both the black community and the rest of the world.
I get the impression that most of these people think it's a genuine grassroots movement. Are they really that retarded? (Simple answer: "yes", I know, but.. )
My bro brought this up yesterday, and it might have some validity: what if the teabaggers are actually right that Obama is a Marxist Muslim Saudi Manchurian candidate sleeper agent from Kenya who is working with the Muslims to really infiltrate the U.S. to weaken it and spread the Islamic caliphate to our shores? Just a thought. Maybe they are right...
No they started protesting against the Government's "tyranny" when they and their friends all started losing their jobs. I think the Tea Party is pretty hopelessly misguided. It's maybe the purest example yet of a movement where the supporters think it's populist but they're actually being manipulated into serving the interests of the super rich. But the constant kneejerk "You're racists!" response from the left is not helpful at all.
They are racist though, if not overtly. Look who they blame for the mess we're in. A black guy who had nothing to do with it, minority mortgage defaulters, and the Community Reinvestment Act. I listen to conservative talk radio all the time and these are the three lynchpins I hear all the time. As a minority having to adapt to white culture to make it in this society, due to issues of necessity and survival I understand whites better than whites understand minorities, and I must laugh at any teabagger who says there isn't at least an undercurrent of race-based hostility in their grievances. Don't bullshit a bullshitter, basically. That's a term I learned from a wise white man.
