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!!
It’s the “Silent Obvious”, contrary to the very same “Moral Majority”: When you’ve got Death Doctors stomping through Oregon and marching eastward through Montana, who’s bothering with the silliness of beauty-queens from Alaska with Death Panels from Obama?
Orly Taitz, Esq is the Phyllis Schaffley of failure. Corruption and the Den of Inequity are lost onto religious zealots who would rather the American public write in Cyrillic and subversive Catholic-controlled Russian Orthodoxy
GLSEN, the Gay, Lesbian Straight Education Network has produced a theatrical play to raise funds.Please note: These are students, both gay and straight who’ve come together for the production in NYC. Let’s keep a perspective, people!
The topic du jur of the play is that Santa Clause has admitted that he’s in love with imaginary Italian toy-maker Giovanni Geppetto. <- Lame, I know. But this is a play written by students… So, we grin and applaud and cheer them on for their achievement(s).
The play, and its subject matter has come under scrutiny from James “The Scrooge” Dobson’s “Focus on the Family” who went out front and center by saying:
Yet more evidence revealing the dark side of GLSEN–the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network—has surfaced. (GLSEN is the group founded by President Obama’s “safe school’s czar,” Kevin Jennings.) At issue this time is a GLSEN fundraiser featuring a theatrical play called Santa Claus is Coming Out! GLSEN’s fundraiser invitation says the play depicts “Santa in his heartfelt struggle to reconcile his romantic relationship with Italian toy maker Giovanni Geppetto.” Pictures on a Web site promoting the production depict Santa in not-so-subtle sexually suggestive situations. The play also mocks those who support traditional values. It’s sad that GLSEN, which claims that it wants to protect kids, has chosen to use a fundraising tool that perverts the innocence of Christmas and sexualizes the longtime, child-revered icon of Santa Claus.
Nice. As if the uber-religious freak-a-zoid Asshole-Dobson could give a shit about Santa Clause, or some Disney character named Giovanni Geppetto.
Notice… “the Dark Side” description. <– What a joke. Reminder: We’re talking about kids producing a play. Dobson lost the argument by trying to spin the topic into a conversation about “the Dark Side”. Nobody has questioned Dobson if he isn’t the very same “dark side”, yet.
If Dobson can claim the ability to identify it: Isn’t he throwing himself out there on his own behalf? (“James Dobson is a Salamander who eats raw baby shit!!” I’ve never tasted baby-shit, but Dobson eats baby shit all of the time… Because I’ve decided to go public with the “fact”!)
…It would appear that the baby shit has hit James “I Hate Everybody” Dobson’s fan.
Sean Chapin, a GLBT activist and film-maker, has produced a YouTube that follows the same genre about Santa coming out of the closet, just to piss Dobson off even more.
I picked up a new social networking project for a band called Transit. The lead, Mark Theisen and I had lunch at Mayslacks and had a great visit. The roast beef is to freakin’ die for.
The plan is to set up an Internet empire surrounding the band and make as much freaking noise as I can for the band and draw as much attention to the band and their music as I can. It’s a new “thing” being done on the Internet and wanna-be politicians, celebrities, comics and musicians would do well to follow what Theisen and I are going to pull off.
Anyway, in the course of the conversation, I mentioned a band I’ve recently fallen in love with.
