It’s usually a waste of time to protest an action. It’s always a waste of time to protest a person.

So true.

I am sure that there are a considerable number of people who are angry at Obama for not being progressive enough, especialy with the financial system. Thus, healthcare reform is suffering because of that. He looks weak-minded and the type that just wants to furl around the edges of a problem instead of seizing the initiative in front of him.

But there are serious people within the GOP that believe a return to racism is the ticket.

Let’s be clear, all that will do is two things:

Solidify their support in the South and MidWest; but alienate everywhere else.
Force the party to move harder to the right. Once, people thought Bobby Jindal could have taken the mantle. Now, they will only be able to push a white man who’s ready, willing, and able to pander to every batshit demand they have. Except for Mitt Romney. No mormons.

This pales in comparison to the anti-war rallies under Bush, and the pro-Obama rallies leading up to his victory/mandate from the American people.

Remember St. Louis?

Or for that matter, the inauguration?

But why bother counting the numbers at all? As we all know, when George Bush was president all protests, especially the really big ones, were meaningless gestures made by the lunatic fringe of the Democratic party.

Why should we think of teabaggers any differently?

They woke up in 2008. It was the special needs children who came out to play on 9/12.
SaveFarris is right – they didn’t vote for McCain – they voted for Sarah Palin.

No Republican running to unseat a Democrat in a close Congressional District will be anywhere near one of these teabag carnivals if they have any hope of winning next year.

Oh, quit showing off your ability to morph alliteration and abnormal botanical processes to us. Your brains are waaaay to big for us.

And if a million people show up at your front door shouting random words like “Birth certificate!” “Death panels!” “Socialism!” just close the door and go back to whatever you were doing.

That quote reminded me of this one from The Blues Brothers:

“Elwood: What kind of music do you usually have here?
Claire: Oh, we got both kinds. We got country *and* western.”

That’s true! McCain was deemed not crazy enough for them.

Well, I’ll be durned.

Post that at Reason, not here.

It’s like listening to a Weird Al Yankovic song. The first time you hear it is mildly funny, the second time garners a lesser chuckle, by the third time you are over it. By the fourth time, you shut the radio off.

Maybe because Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11? Maybe because the Taliban gave (gives) protection to your real enemy, Bin Laden. Just a crazy thought.

Who did?

“Trashing” being a relative term.

So Sayeth the Democrat!

It’s a Lee Atwater Situation. Outside of the South Carolina Republican Party HQ, you can’t yell “Nigger, nigger, nigger!” like you could in 1954, so they had to pick something. (Which is progress, but based on the Teabagger signage and interviews, just barely.)

It did happen, and the next day the overweight middle class losers all went back home after trashing the mall to their boring mundane suburban lives, still cowering in fear over whatever Glen Beck tells them to. In short, their little temper tantrum did nothing to advance their cause or sway indies and moderates. If anything, they show their true colors and further marginalize themselves as the wacko but loud minority of a dying political demographic.

I mean, who still throws around the word “Communist”?(Other than stupid old white teabaggers)
Talk about out of touch. This isn’t 1959. Do they think they are going to get young people into their ranks by using scary words from fifty years ago? I love how they use all the old tired worn out slogans with lots of ‘isms’.
Maybe this is Michael Steele’s version of being ‘beyond cutting edge’

After 6 months of having Fox News promote it non-stop, 60K people is a pretty weak turnout. They couldn’t even get a six figure sized crowd.

Then again, the dummies who organized it probably should not have chosen the second week of NCAA football to have it.

Because whether you are liberal or conservative, we all LOVES US SOME NCAA FOOTBALL
DIE USC!
DIE USC!
