Teabaggers start attacking people, breaking windows, to protest health care

[Elder Iptuous]

Rick Perry is a fucking idiot, and it pains me that he's been (and likely will continue to be) in office for so long....

fuck, he pisses me off.
smarmy little shit...

other than that, i don't really have any useful comment.

Its funny how they simultaneously want an all powerful Emperor figure in Washington DC to smite the foreign heathen and protect them from Gay Islamist Mexicans, yet believe all power should be devolved to state level.

Of course, it has been suggested more than once that "state rights" is code for "bring back Jim Crow laws", so make of that what you will.

Depends on who is saying it.  For some it is Jim Crow, for other's it's resciding Roe V Wade, and for some it means marijuana legalization.

Are you retarded or something?  Do you require everything spelt out for you, with all its exceptions and variations taken into account?  Or are you just trying to look clever?  I sincerely hope it's not the latter because, obviously, it isn't working.

No, in the context of this thread,  Different teabaggers mean different things by it.  Admittedly I doubt many mean legalize pot, but I am quite sure as many are anti-abortion fanatics as are racists, plenty are both.  And there are probably a fair amount who mean that they don't want the health care plan to apply to their particular state.

[Cain]

OK, I'll take that as one "stupid" then.

[Cain]

Any one else wanna offer up their meaningless, nitpicking observations here?  No really, they'd be highly appreciated.  If you're stuck for ideas, but want to help, try criticizing someone's grammar or spelling.  Old skool, I know, but just as irritating and devoid of content.

EDIT: I decided [the comment] probably wasn't the best course of action.

I know it's part of your brilliance, and typical of the site, but it also tends to get the worst reactions from me, as well as others.  Yeah, I may have derailed things slightly, you put me on the defensive though and now I have to find some value in my derailing.  Which I did.  One of the things which defines the teabaggers is that they are not homogenous.  You can't say much that is true of all tea baggers.  Some are racists, some are not, some are anti abortion fanatics, some are not.  They don't really agree on all that much aside from that things are not going well in the country and it is the democrats fault.

Saying that it is stupid to point out that it's not code for jim crow to all of them could just mean "yeah, duh, I know they aren't homogenous" but the way you put it doesn't make that clear.  It is one of the most common mistakes people make about the teaparty, because most political movements have been homogenous, at least to a much greater degree, especcially the ones that get to the point of breaking windows.

I'm no so sure of that.  I thought revolutions ran on widespread unease.  It only has to all go the same direction for a little while.  Then, all the factions can go back to being too weak to be a threat...

Yes, we haven't really had a revolution in the us though.  We've had fairly easily identified social movements, Sometimes they would work together, but they were still identifiable as their component parts.

The 60's as an example, there were feminists, communists, black activists, etc, and they would often work together for a common goal against a common enemy, but they were organized into discrete groups.  The teaparty isn't organized into discrete groups, but it's also  not a discrete group in itself because they don't actually have one unified goal.

Bath kinda ruined that

On 8 February, 1963, the Baath Party staged a bloody coup against Qassim, killing thousands of communists. Many believe that the CIA was involved in the coup as a way of destroying communist influence in the region. Ali Saleh Al-Sa'adi, the Baath Party secretary general, said: "We came to power on a CIA train."

The Baath would not remain in power long. In November of 1963, there was an army counter-coup. But the humiliation of the Arab leaderships in the Seven Day War with Israel in 1967 finally gave the Baathists their moment, and the movement definitively seized power in 1968.
