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!!
If we’re going to celebrate the New Year – we may as well celebrate it like hetero-white homophobes!
PAT ROBERTSON: And, you know, Kristi, something happened a long time ago in Haiti, and people might not want to talk about it. They were under the heel of the French. You know, Napoleon III and whatever. And they got together and swore a pact to the devil. They said, “We will serve you if you will get us free from the French.” True story. And so, the devil said, “OK, it’s a deal.”
And they kicked the French out. You know, the Haitians revolted and got themselves free. But ever since, they have been cursed by one thing after the other. Desperately poor. That island of Hispaniola is one island. It’s cut down the middle. On the one side is Haiti; on the other side is the Dominican Republic. Dominican Republic is prosperous, healthy, full of resorts, et cetera. Haiti is in desperate poverty. Same island. They need to have and we need to pray for them a great turning to God. And out of this tragedy, I’m optimistic something good may come. But right now, we’re helping the suffering people, and the suffering is unimaginable.
Jan. 8 (Bloomberg) — Richard Lugar, the top Republican on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, defended President Barack Obama’s handling of recent terrorism threats, taking issue with former Vice President Dick Cheney’s criticism.
“It’s unfair,” Lugar said in an interview for Bloomberg Television’s “Political Capital with Al Hunt,” airing this weekend. “I think the president is focused.”
Cheney, who frequently has led Republican attacks on the Democratic president since leaving office a year ago, told Politico on Dec. 29 that Obama “is trying to pretend we are not at war” with a “low-key response” to the Dec. 25 attempt to ignite a bomb aboard a flight to Detroit.
As if you cared what the GOP has to say anyway. Nobody is listening to what the GOP has to say anyway. They’re too busy stapling tea-bags to their foreheads and pretending that they’re relevant!
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
And when your ultra-right wing ding-bat conservative Aunt Clara comes to visit (and your Mom remebers and forces you to wear it while she’s in town): Steal your Mom’s pearls and wear it with a thong and I promise you’ll never have to wear it again.
Let’s come to grips on some psychological level depths of the contemporary psyche: Being Queer isn’t new!
The Gay Liberation movement didn’t start with the Stonewall Riots, people. It started with people like your Aunt Clara! She was a Republican and a Rush Limbaugh fan! It was the GOP that made you gay because they duped your Moms and Dads into believing they were simply making a hobby out of sleep-ware for your own benefit.
The next thing you know, your the handsome H.S. basketball coach’s favourite defensive left-guard and you’ve landed the starring role in Shakespear’s Midsummer Nights Dream!
…one thing leads to another and the next thing you know: You’re in the Gay Pride Parade and your throwing condoms at drag queens.
Please: Don’t let your children dress in “Aunt Clara sleep-ware!”
“And then, since I’m not aware Obama and Tiger ever played golf together, what justifies these two superstars juxtaposed in the first place, except maybe … skin color?”
He’s absolutely correct – there is no disconnect between the two. Shaw makes an excellent point in suggesting that the abstract is far above the obvious:
Golf Digest fans: I have items that you left out of your front page:
If it’s Rush playing “Barack, the Magic Negro“, or if it’s Glenn Beck whining that the President is a “racists and has a problem with white people“. You can leave it up to Golf Digest to add to the racial damage by throwing Obama into Tiger Wood’s current sexual nightmare in an effort to squeeze nickels and dimes from the stupid and the ignorant.
And yes — You’re ignorant and stupid if you buy Golf Digest. <– My own personal stereotype.
