Teabagging: Ahh, a gay man’s favorite definition for a stupid Republican Another definition:
2. n. A conservative activist who is so ignorant that they protest against tax cuts (that benefit them) by throwing tea into a river.

And my personal favorite:

A misinformed, right-wing corporate media consumer who often fails to understand that BOTH major parties represent a corrupt plutocracy that steals from the middle class by taxing labor and profiting from corporate tax subsidies.

A teabagger also often fails to acknowledge that George W. Bush and his neo-conservative minions perpetrated one of the boldest and most egregious executive power grabs in the history of the United States. Furthermore, teabaggers mistakenly continue to blame a newly elected President Obama for all that ails the United States of America, based on a grossly flawed perception of reality (including latent racial prejudice) and despite the fact the U.S. economy collapsed on the previous administration’s watch.

Teabaggers are also known to base their misguided, right-wing-media-inspired beliefs about President Obama on stupid conspiracy theories about totalitarian takeovers, FEMA camps, etc., despite the fact these very same theories have been circulating around on the Internet for years, and were originally ascribed to neo-conservative cabalists at a time when Barack Obama had not even entered national politics. Teabaggers also are known to be particularly paranoid, xenophobic and intolerant, especially with regard to immigrants and anyone who isn’t white.

Additionally, teabaggers generally echo stupid myths about entitlement spending (it actually only accounts for about 1% of federal budget spending), have no idea that most poor people i…

Oh wait!  That was the “Family Values Crowd” that was talking about that… I forgot!!

Hooray for the liberals in Massachusetts!!  They’ve elected their first porn-star!!

Two white guys sympathising over the political demise of a washed-up beauty queen from Alaska.  It’s the essence of pot smokers everywhere from the mayor of Alaska’s going up in flames with a Bic and a metal-spoon.

I’m all a sniffle… Poor Sarah! <— NOT!

Want to try to convert a gay person to become a hetero?  Think again!

…Unless you’re just working on a gay speed-dating event.

If you don’t have time to watch the full 7-minute drama-piece…

“He asked how large my penis was,” McAlvey explained of Jones’ therapy. “He asked if I shave my pubic hair. He asked what type of underwear that I wore. He wanted me to describe my sexual fantasies to him and the type of men I’m attracted to. On one occasion, he asked me to take my shirt off and show him how many push-ups I could do, which I did not do.”

I’m turned on just posting the piece!!

Jesus Christ!!

Confused?

I can help with GOP CNN’s video what’s going on.  This video was presented by the GOP as a propaganda promotion that “gays” can be “cured”

Bear hugs and manly-hugs from cured-hetero men helped (alegedly):

” by great big bear hugs and snuggles by self-proclaimed “heterosexual” (ehem) “men”:

MOM! MOM!! MOM!!

The GLBT sponsored “Truth Wins Out” has published the stupidity coming out of the Focus in the Family and the Catholic Community‘s efforts to ruin the idea behind the “Gay when I was born” ideology.

The x-gay movement is capturing young uneducated people and trying to convert them into a religious cult that they’ll claim to be a sexual cult (homosexuality) from the front-end.

MOM! MOM! MOM!!!!

The answer is obvious:  If you were born gay;

Jealous that the Nobel Committee has passed on handing the Prize to their own personal douchebags like Bush, Cheney or Libertarian Old-Crank Ron Paul (R-TX), the Right Wing Nuts have come up with a brand-new reason to complain about President Obama.

From the American Heritage Foundation’s Matthew Spaulding quotes the United States Constitution has his source of the gripe:

A clause in Article I, Section 9 of the U.S. Constitution states: “No Title of Nobility shall be granted by the United States: And no Person holding any Office or Trust under them, shall, without the consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign state.” That raises a question: Is the Nobel Peace Prize an “Emolument” — a gift arising from one’s office which includes some sort of monetary award with it?

Spaulding points out that Obama has 60 days to hand over the award (so they can deny he was ever awarded it in the first place).  I’ll assume that if Obama doesn’t hand over the award, Spaulding and his band of Merry Goofs will hire the Sheriff of Nottingham to have the President of the United States arrested and tried for treason.

Spaulding opens his mouth and dumb things come tumbling out of it:

“The Commission, the group that gives out the Nobel Prize, is actually appointed by the Parliament of Norway, which is [to] say that it’s connected with a foreign state. This makes it very interesting,” the Heritage scholar notes.  “In 1993, President Clinton’s own Office of Legal Counsel said that it didn’t have to be a foreign state acting in a formal way, but could be, rather, indirect. [This] seems to be a perfect example of what the Nobel Prize is — and the Founders put this clause in the Constitution precisely to make sure that foreign states didn’t unwarrantedly influence American domestic politics.”

Enter his conspiracy theory:

Spalding believes the Nobel Prize Commission intended to give the award to a president who had not yet accomplished anything, in hopes of encouraging him to do certain things in the future. Interestingly Nobel committee chairman Thorbjorn Jagland has defended the choice of Obama, saying the prize should be an “instrument for peace rather than [a] stamp of approval.”

Barack Obama is the third sitting president to be given the award after Woodrow Wilson (D) and Theodore Roosevelt (R & Progressive Party).  I’ll go out on a limb here, but I’m guessing Spaulding didn’t have a problem with those earlier two presidents’ award because they were white guys. It’s the black guys, you see, that can’t be trusted.

Give a black man a Nobel Prize, and he’ll kiss anybody’s booty-ass.  Everybody knows that!  Just ask Matthew Spaulding!

I’m going out on a limb and take a guess that this stupidity will be the new Fox News “Haunt” throughout the Holiday Season.  They’re going to milk this stupidity throughout New Years Eve.

Here’s one to throw are your conservative relatives who are complaining about the Democrats offering to include abortions with your tax dollars… From Politico today:

Federal Election Commission Records show the RNC purchases its insurance from Cigna. Two sales agents for the company said that the RNC’s policy covers elective abortion.

Informed of the coverage, RNC spokeswoman Gail Gitcho told POLITICO that the policy pre-dates the tenure of current RNC Chairman Michael Steele.

“The current policy has been in effect since 1991, and we are taking steps to address the issue,” Gitcho said. [...]

According to several Cigna employees, the insurer offers its customers the opportunity to opt out of abortion coverage — and the RNC did not choose to opt out.

That’s right!  If Michael Steele, chair of the Republican National Convention is your boss – you have the right to an abortion option with your Cigna health care plan.

And!  If you work for the homophobic anti-choice radical group “Focus On the Family”, you too have an abortion option with your health care plan.

To be fair, Micheal Steele has decided that he was confused and they will no longer offer an abortion option with their plan.  He said:

“Money from our loyal donors should not be used for this purpose,” Chairman Michael Steele said in a statement. “I don’t know why this policy existed in the past, but it will not exist under my administration. Consider this issue settled.”

Oh thank God we got that settled!
