Apparently, there was a teabag event that drew 10,000 people in Houston the other day. On the other hand, the conservative Republican mayoral candidate came in fourth in a four person race Tuesday.
I’m trying to imagine the mindset of the fence-sitter that would be swayed to the tea baggers’ point of view by this kind of thing. And how soon they’ll realize that all these histrionics (and purging of legitimate candidates) are the opposite of productive.
NONSENSE! Me thinks you left off a half a dozen zeroes from that estimate. 200 or 300 MILLION sounds more like it. Fox News said it, so it MUST be true!
These numbnuts just don’t get it. Do they think this is the way to bring moderates and indies into their ever shrinking radicalized movement? Newsflash to birthers, your tactics and viewpoints turn off more Americans than attract them. Got it yet?
For all your screaming and shouting and ‘death panels’ and “Obama is teh Hitlers” and “socialist” rants, you are not helping your cause in any way shape form, no matter how much Fox News or talk radio supports you. Then again, I get the feeling you don’t care anymore. You’ve realized that your base of bitter old white people is ever shrinking, and that this is your last roar in the wild so you might as well go all out.
You come across as being, I dunno, fucking CRAZY when you try to appeal to the idea that trying to improve health care in the country is akin to a Nazi takeover. Glen Beck cries on TV, and you all taste his tears, oh the humanity!!!
For rational, sane people, they look at you and say, ewwwwww, I don’t want any part of that.
Please, just start your own wacko party already. Just up and leave the Republican party altogether, seeing how they aren’t pure enough for you.
You sound a bit delusional, but sorry, ‘bitter old white men’ wasn’t the demographic that pushed VA to the triple win all by high-teens margins.
Women went for McDonnell despite the best efforts of the WaPo, Deeds and the nutroots’ wishes of repeating their macaca moment magic by hammering away at McDonnell’s college thesis.
Everything you guys have been saying about the tea parties turned out to be not true.
Yep, 3 days since the most definitive victory for conservatism ever and Obama is still President, the Senate still has 60 Democrats, and the House gained a Democrat*.
It was in the Washington Post, fafaroo. You want to show something that refutes what I said, be my guest, but I’m tired of showing you links for your personal inspections just because you want to play f’ing Perry Mason or because you want to look at something else in the article to point to.
Or tell you what, why don’t you be proactive and show some exit data or election results that shows the 18 pt win by McDonnell was all ‘bitter old white men’ showing up to vote?
“… but I’m tired of showing you links for your personal inspections …”
in other words, “I am so insecure and uncertain of my interpretation of this information and my already fragile ego can’t afford another blow, I refuse to back up my claims with any links you might use to make me feel bad.”
No, as I’ve stated before, you’re a psychotic recovering alcoholic who’s transferring his obsessive/compulsive nature on to me, and you want me to dance for you. There are no ‘in other words’.
Why do you show hesitancy to produce evidence to the contrary?
Why do you lack that confidence to find your own data sources in order to satisfy your curiosity, fafaroo?
Nice touch by Capra casting Mr. Potter in a wheelchair in a lame attempt to make him appear even more evil and scary. As if stealing $8,000 and trying to run the only bank competition in the town wasn’t evil enough, he had to make him a cripple, too.
“Sorry about the derogatory stereotype, all you handicapped people. ‘Hey it’s just a movie’. And he was a conservative, too, so what’s the big deal?”
Seriously, Aqualung, what is your beef with that post? Do you think it’s a good thing to stereotype handicapped people as villains like it’s a late 1800’s Dickens novel and champion it as an awesomely liberal movie?
And you’re making an intimation that my assertion is suspect …
Gosh, did I intimate something? I’m awfully sorry if you read it that way.
Really, Dennis, there’s no need to get so defensive. I didn’t realize you were so sensitive.
Does it hurt your feelings when people ask you to verify your claims?
You must be dealing with some pretty serious trust issues on top of your general paranoia and insecurity.
Tell you what, it’s pretty clear that you need to step away from the keyboard and take a nap or your pills or something.
I’ll tell you what. Here’s your chance to walk away from your claim without having to back it up with a link to your source. I promise, no one will think you’re a total idiot if you don’t respond to this comment. I swear.
I’m perfectly fine with the assertion I made from hard data provided by the Washington Post. Your request for information is nothing more than a disingenuous, obsessive transference and is in no way an honest request for information that you couldn’t obtain on your own very easily.
You cast doubt on what I said but you can’t man up enough to refute it.
Are you saying what I said is an incorrect assertion, fafaroo?
It’s still funny that Dennis pretends that he didn’t get it horribly wrong about Mr. Potter in IAWL. Really funny. On a number of levels, Dennis is like the blog comment version of Walter Sobchak, just without any of the charm. Or insight.
I for one say right on teabaggers, keep it up! Please! I am being 100% totally sincere here. Continue on your present course. I hope you expunge every last slightly moderate Republican and mount third party challenges against whoever doesn’t meet your strict approval. Go for it! The spirit of Ronald Reagan commands you!
Gods, that’s SO lame dude. You aren’t even trying anymore.
Do you not know when to quit? At what point do you draw the line for this kind of behaviour? Really, I’d love to know.
For the frothing angry right, NO line cannot be crossed to demonstrate their misdirected impotent rage. Anything is fair game, no matter how low, or poor taste it is. You should be ashamed, but I know you aren’t because you think everything is some kind of back and forth game, like whoever gets the sharpest snap wins or something.
No wonder the GOP is cracking up and dwindling. You think the average American is going to agree with the asshole who hoisted his sign with pictures of dead Jews in a concentration camp, comparing that to the idea of health care reform?
“Where’s the Birth Certificate”
“Abort Obamacare, not Babies”
“Get the Red Out of the White House.”
“Waterboard Congress”
“Traitor to the U.S. Constitution” (Picture of Obama on sign)
“Ken-Ya Trust Obama?”
“Un-American McCarthyite” (with picture of Pelosi)
“I’m the King of the World: Remember the Titanic?” (Drawing of Obama in the mold of the ‘Jovial Sambo’ from the Jim Crow era doing the Leo Titanic pose.”
Ah, more of the salt of the Earth, good pickin normal every day Amuricans just like Oliver and me. Uh huh. Just concerned citizens, you see?
Are you saying what I said is an incorrect assertion, fafaroo?
I just asked you to present your evidence for the claim. That’s it. And you freaked out.
So, Dennis, I think we all know what this is about. You’re afraid that if you do what I asked, other people will think you’re weak, because you’re a desperately insecure person who puts a lot of weight into what total strangers on the internet think of you.
You berate people on blogs to feel better about yourself, but you also can’t allow it to look like you’re getting pushed around.
So you need to turn a simple, harmless request for a link into a full blown pissing match.
All you have to do is link to the Wapo article. That’s it. And I swear, no one will think your a “pussy.”
But you won’t. Because you’re still afraid they will.
Yes, Dennis. Apparently your ego is terribly fragile you allowed yourself to get punked by a playground bet.
You see the bet was that you would owe me ten bucks if you “acknowledged and/or replied” to the comment. By telling me I owed you ten bucks you acknowledged the bet and so acknowledged the comment so lost the bet.
It’s so ridiculously obvious only the most desperately insecure person would fall for it. Tell us, Dennis, we’re you one of those kids you regularly lost his lunch money at recess to the older kids?
But I’ll tell you what Dennis. Since you need to reclaim a little self-respect and I feel bad for making you look stupid (it’s just too easy) how about if we both give some dough to The Central Texas-Fort Hood Association of the U.S. Army?
And you are a weasel piece of shit, because I didn’t respond to that bet or reply to it; I just told you you owed me ten bucks knowing you’d pull that playground stunt.
If you knew what I was talking about and asked me how I owed you ten bucks anyway so you could say I acknowledged it, it just means your a certifiably disingenuous one at that. Even then in answering you, I still didn’t acknowledge it.
Regarding the scores of “tea party” people roaming the halls of Congress yesterday…… Before, I thought I was talking to the dining room table. Now I feel like I’m in a furniture warehouse.
For fuck’s sake, Allen called the guy a thinly-veiled euphemism for “nigger.” Holy fucking shit, “their macaca moment magic” doesn’t begin to cover it. Nor is it analagous in to the Deeeds campaign.
Dumbfuck Dittohead Troll grasps for straws. Again.
And why wouldn’t they go for it, since they’re fresh off of the stunning landslide victory in New York! What? That didn’t happen?
The security screening for entering the U.S. Capitol is pretty rigorous already.
If the Capitol Police has any sense at all, they’ll turn it up to eleven for a teabagger visit.
“A guest of Congresswoman Bachmann? Welcome! Please wait in this line for your body-cavity search.”
What will the turnout be? 72k? A million? A kajillion billion?
Apparently, there was a teabag event that drew 10,000 people in Houston the other day. On the other hand, the conservative Republican mayoral candidate came in fourth in a four person race Tuesday.
Bachman’s Chief of Staff just resigned…I cannot imagine why.
Maybe that’s why it’s been quiet here this morning–peanut gallery is all running over with their resumes.
Not to pick on you, durablend, but you guys whine when conservatives post here, and you miss us when we don’t.
Self-absorbed Troll shares his warm feelings about himself. A lot.
The world and everything on it revolves around Dennis–didn’t you know that?
Which is why he doesn’t get his own blog–would be too lonely over there.
I expect a great deal of vandalism and at least one act of minor violence before this is done. I also predict swastikas in great quantities.
No doubt the dome will be riddled with bullet holes as well
I’m trying to imagine the mindset of the fence-sitter that would be swayed to the tea baggers’ point of view by this kind of thing. And how soon they’ll realize that all these histrionics (and purging of legitimate candidates) are the opposite of productive.
Michele Bachmann won’t give up her 174k government salary and her federal employee health benefits
Note to DC Capitol Police;
Drink lots of coffee.
Keep your safeties in the off position.
Capital Hill Police estimates= 200-300, or about 1.5-2 for every Republican Congressperson that showed up.
NONSENSE! Me thinks you left off a half a dozen zeroes from that estimate. 200 or 300 MILLION sounds more like it. Fox News said it, so it MUST be true!

Burn,
You sound a bit delusional, but sorry, ‘bitter old white men’ wasn’t the demographic that pushed VA to the triple win all by high-teens margins.
Women went for McDonnell despite the best efforts of the WaPo, Deeds and the nutroots’ wishes of repeating their macaca moment magic by hammering away at McDonnell’s college thesis.

That has to ‘Burn’, I’m sure.
Right-Wing Talk Radio Troll thinks the Teabaggers are awesome. Shocker.
(Please, please, please no more Doug Hoffmans! Speaking for Reality-Based people everywhere, I beg of you. NOOOOOO!!!!)
Yep, 3 days since the most definitive victory for conservatism ever and Obama is still President, the Senate still has 60 Democrats, and the House gained a Democrat*.
*with thanks to the Alaskan Quitbull
You sound a bit delusional, but sorry, ‘bitter old white men’ wasn’t the demographic that pushed VA to the triple win all by high-teens margins.
Dennis, could you provide some polling data to back up this claim?
I could, yes. But so could you.
Oh Dennis. It’s so cute when you play coy.
It was in the Washington Post, fafaroo. You want to show something that refutes what I said, be my guest, but I’m tired of showing you links for your personal inspections just because you want to play f’ing Perry Mason or because you want to look at something else in the article to point to.

Why do you show hesitancy to produce evidence to the contrary?
Why do you lack that confidence to find your own data sources in order to satisfy your curiosity, fafaroo?
It’s all pretty simple, Dennis:
You made an assertion.
I asked you to show your work.
You got defensive and refused.
Put up or STFU, my friend.
And you’re making an intimation that my assertion is suspect, so I’m asking you to show your that might explain why you doubt it.
You seem to be unsure of yourself here. Why is that?
My suggestion to you is to put up or STFU, my downwardly spiraling friend.
In other words:
Seriously, Aqualung, what is your beef with that post? Do you think it’s a good thing to stereotype handicapped people as villains like it’s a late 1800’s Dickens novel and champion it as an awesomely liberal movie?
WTF is wrong with you?
And you’re making an intimation that my assertion is suspect …
Gosh, did I intimate something? I’m awfully sorry if you read it that way.
Really, Dennis, there’s no need to get so defensive. I didn’t realize you were so sensitive.

Denial Troll still pretends he didn’t make a mistake.
Never give an inch!
fafaroo,
I’m perfectly fine with the assertion I made from hard data provided by the Washington Post. Your request for information is nothing more than a disingenuous, obsessive transference and is in no way an honest request for information that you couldn’t obtain on your own very easily.

Now they are holding up signs with pictures of concentration camps from WWII.
These people are fucking shameless disgusting human beings, ruled by fear and ignorance.
According to our new diplomatic parter in Tehran, those pictures never existed.
“Shameless, disgusting human beings” indeed.
Worst.
“Look over there!”
Ever.
(Is that a direct challenge to Dennis?)
Gods, that’s SO lame dude. You aren’t even trying anymore.
Do you not know when to quit? At what point do you draw the line for this kind of behaviour? Really, I’d love to know.

Fuck you, and fuck your entire failed ideology.
“Go for it! The spirit of Ronald Reagan commands you!”
I think Reagan finally has some worth; to destroy the nutty right. He’s finally paying dividends.
Some sampling of the signs by the tea-birthers:
“Where’s the Birth Certificate”
“Abort Obamacare, not Babies”
“Get the Red Out of the White House.”
“Waterboard Congress”
“Traitor to the U.S. Constitution” (Picture of Obama on sign)
“Ken-Ya Trust Obama?”
“Un-American McCarthyite” (with picture of Pelosi)

Run faster. I hear bangers.
The Democratic Health care plan today received the endorsement of the AMA and AARP.
Meanwhile off in the distance were a few thousand impotent losers crowing like unbalanced circus rejects.
Advantage Dems.
Waiting for the tea-birthers to inquire why the AMA and the AARP are fascistsocialistcommunistnaziterrorists who hate freedom.
They should move to the non-government, pro-2nd Amendment haven of Somalia.
They’d last less than a minute of course.

Explain why you are interested, first, fafaroo.
Are you calling bullshit on anything I’ve said?
Just post the link, Dennis. That’s all I’m asking.

Profile of Virginia Voters
Results of exit polls conducted Tuesday in the race for Virginia governor between R. Creigh Deeds and Robert F. McDonnell.
Ha! Dennis, you are so my bitch.
You’re a certifiable piece of shit, fafaroo.
And you owe me ten bucks, btw.
Since you don’t give a shit about them, kindly send the $10 to this charity:
Let us know when you’ve sent it.
And you owe me ten bucks, btw.
Now why exactly do I owe you ten bucks, Dennis? Explain it to me.
How many $10 wagers have you made here in the last couple weeks, anyway? Or is this another one of your games, too?
Now have some honor about you and send off that check to help those families.
Yes, Dennis. Apparently your ego is terribly fragile you allowed yourself to get punked by a playground bet.
You see the bet was that you would owe me ten bucks if you “acknowledged and/or replied” to the comment. By telling me I owed you ten bucks you acknowledged the bet and so acknowledged the comment so lost the bet.

Done.
And you are a weasel piece of shit, because I didn’t respond to that bet or reply to it; I just told you you owed me ten bucks knowing you’d pull that playground stunt.
If you knew what I was talking about and asked me how I owed you ten bucks anyway so you could say I acknowledged it, it just means your a certifiably disingenuous one at that. Even then in answering you, I still didn’t acknowledge it.
ROFLMAO! Dennis, you need to take a break.
Mark Levin just said somebody named John Ratzenberger was at the protest. That’s not Cliff Clavin the trivia-loving mailman, I hope.
Yes it was. Turns out that the reason he was so good at playing a pompous brain-dead loser on TV is that he wasn’t acting.
It was him. Thankfully it wasn’t Shelly Long.
