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

[Cain]

Personally I liked the bit about how "derogatory characterizations... or disparaging terms" are unacceptable.

Why do I imagine that after that they immediately went back to comparing Obama to Mao and Stalin, or referring to him as "our Kenyan President"?

...there's a recent Gallup Poll that UPI says that THE DEMOCRATS ARE TO BLAME!!!11oneelventy-one! for the recent violence demonstrated because they used the same tactics that all legislators use to get the bill passed, you know, compromise? (that is NOT the one that the Teabaggers are blaming them for, of course)  But basically, 70% of the Dems that answered think the use of tactics was approrpriate, 30% of the Republicans agree the same.  Gee Whiz.  Go Figure...the poll's divided along party lines?  Sheeeit.

But what Gallup asked the Dems was "are you as YAHOO! about the bill" as your Republican fellow-voters?  And apparently, Republicans are angrier over the injustices of said bill than Dems are enthusiastic for it.

Again:  Um, DUH.

But this doesn't mean Democrats see the violence as the legislators' faults.

So whoever's interpreting that poll needs a bitch-slap.

The people who wrote that are probably the same people who think a recent CIA report says Iran is trying to acquire the A-bomb.

Just read a tag online suggesting that instead of referring to them as teabaggers, we should use the title teahadists.

IMO the real problem is not going to come from the teabaggers storming the capital and seizing it.  The problem is going to come from someone stepping up and saying they can stop all this madness, they will restore law and order and calm the teapartiers down.

McCain's new bill lets Obama just shove them all in an internment camp.

149 years too late for that idea...

Just because Lincoln screwed the pooch doesn't mean we're stuck with his bad decisions.

I see no reason to hold States against their will. If the People don't support the government then they have a right to form their own.

And then we can laugh as they provide a sterling example of FAIL... then fine the fuckers when they want  back in.

It's simple really.... States have one year to discuss secession. At the end of that year there is a vote. IF more that 60% of the State wish to leave, then the State presents articles of secession to the Federal Government. Once presented, the Federal government removes all federal aid, all federal programs, all federal equipment (including that lovely equipment from the National Guard), all US Bases... everything.

Then they can be free to go Galt all over themselves. 

Sounds great, dealing with that 40% though, a lot of them are probably going to want to relocate out of the new confederacy of redneckistan.

I've often wondered what I would do if everything the right-wing nuts were saying was entirely true.

Obama, the muslim ethiopian, is looking to kill your grandparents
and once this new healthcare bill gets into full swing,
you will have to donate an organ to a homosexual and get a sex change.

I'm still working on a reaction.

I keep wishing right wing wingnuts were actually right.  We'd be living in a socialist utopia by now.

That's usually how it works.  1980 coup in Turkey, for example.

I'm guessing the people who eventually step up to the plate and promise to restore law and order will be the same people who back the Teabaggers, or at least move in the same circles.

Of course, the Teabaggers might get totally out of hand, in which case anyone capable of standing up to them will choose to side with them instead.  It's a dangerous gambit, that's why most people don't ever use it.

...just as someone who has been yelling at/witnessing the Teabag movement firsthand in her neighborhood:

The same asshole I yelled at the other day who was collecting signatures for his damned Teabag initiatives was out there again last Friday outside my Vons.  Instead of yelling at him again, though, I shook the hand of the young dude who was standing beside him with a small, 8.5x11 sheet of paper, probably home-printed, that had a person's portrait on it.  He was standing there yelling out, next to the signature gatherer:

"The Tea Party Movement was founded on racist and elitist ideals.  This is their founder!" he points to his printout, "And HE is a nationally-known bigot and racist.  Vote for the Tea Party initiatives if you want to follow a racist!"

that guy was awesome...

/sorry for the threadjack

Fed up with what they see as Washington's intrusion into their state, Oklahoma "tea party" leaders and some conservative legislators want to create a volunteer militia to defend against the federal government, the Associated Press writes.

"Is it scary? It sure is," said Al Gerhart, a tea party activist who heads the Oklahoma Constitutional Alliance. "But when do the states stop rolling over for the federal government?"

State Rep. Charles Key, a Republican representing Oklahoma City, said he believes there's a good chance that legislation could be introduced next year to authorize a militia.

Bahahaha.

1) Isn't that what the National Guard is supposed to be for?

2) Any militia that they could possibly slap together will be more pathetic than the Minutemen who were supposedly protecting our border?

BUY MORE GUNS AND BULLETS

The British underestimated the militias during the revolutionary war and look where that got them.
