Sad... Maybe NPR Should Focus More On This...

3/10/2010 12:54:07 PM   From:  MrsK   I thought I'd research the Tea Bag Party... Ummm, wow.
3/10/2010 1:14:56 PM   From:  BCAR   Never heard of a Tea Bag Party. I've heard of tea party's where patriotic Americans exercise their freedom of speech and assembly to protest the failed Administration of Obama and the Democrats.

3/10/2010 1:22:14 PM   From:  MrsK   Oh sure, freedom of hate speech. Yeah... There's something to be proud of. A bunch of morons calling Obama an illegal and a Muslim. If that's a reason to call yourself a proud American... Well... that's just sad.
3/10/2010 1:27:33 PM   From:  eddo   the Tea Parties are a grassroots organization that is against the ever increasing size and involvement of our government.


a tea bag party is something Power would host when Gally fell asleep...
3/10/2010 1:28:25 PM   From:  eddo   and I have heard and seen Tea Partiers protest some of the Repubs as well.
3/10/2010 1:32:22 PM   From:  MrsK   A party refers to the gathering of a group. It is not neccesarily a "Political PARTY".

The video's I've seen today are disgraceful. Holding up very racist signs that reflect just how ignorant these people really are. "Impeach the Kenyan"? "Illegal President"? Calling him a Muslim as if it is a dirty word. Sickening.
3/10/2010 1:33:22 PM   From:  MrsK   One woman interviewed came right out when asked of she thought he was a good president and replied "Of course not, he's Muslim!". That right there, is just fuking sad.
3/10/2010 1:37:47 PM   From:  BCAR   What race is Muslim?
3/10/2010 1:38:37 PM   From:  eddo   then perhaps you should broaden your video search beyond NPR.


I can't speak for all Tea Parties, and I have heard that some have been infiltrated by outsiders to make them look silly, but at the heart of the group is people who can't stand big government, and can't stand for our tax money to be constantly flushed down the toilet- all the while government asking for more and more and more of that money. (kinda like those original tea partiers in the 1770's.)
3/10/2010 1:41:40 PM   From:  BCAR   I miss the old protests, where they burned flags and called for killing George Bush, and screaming blood for oil at soldiers funerals.

A much better class of people those folks.
3/10/2010 1:42:08 PM   From:  MrsK   NPR hasn't reported on this Eddo. At least not to my knowledge. I'm going through multiple websites.
3/10/2010 1:43:56 PM   From:  MrsK   And the racist remarks BCAR, is referencing the "Impeach the Kenyan" remark.

BTW - MY BAD! She was asked if she believed Obama is a Christian after saying she would like to see a Christian int he Whitehouse. Ummm, wasn't Bush a Christian? for that matter - Obama is a Christian, too! WTF does it matter the religion of the president?
3/10/2010 1:44:17 PM   From:  BCAR   You might want to start at fairtax.org and follow some links from there. Wouldn't hurt to learn what real Americans are up to.
3/10/2010 1:45:12 PM   From:  MrsK   BCAR the protests that you've refferenced are just as distasteful as the man walking down the street in this video, who I *think* is screaming the N word. But I can't really make out what he is screaming.
3/10/2010 1:45:34 PM   From:  MrsK   Are you implying I am not a real American?
3/10/2010 1:46:00 PM   From:  BCAR   Is Kenyan racist? I thought it was a country. Obama does have Kenyan roots. Is he not considered the first African American president.

Seems I've heard that a time or two.

3/10/2010 1:47:05 PM   From:  BCAR   Does that chip on your shoulder ever get heavy?
3/10/2010 1:47:53 PM   From:  MrsK   Yes he is. And to say things like "Impeach the Kenyan" is just a fancy way of saying the "Black Man". My guess is you haven't watched the video.
3/10/2010 1:48:49 PM   From:  MrsK   You know... why do you have to make this a personal issue BCAR? Can't I post about a movement I disagree with, without you assuming I have a chip on my shoulder? Or is it the BLOCK on yours that you should be more concerned about?
3/10/2010 1:48:52 PM   From:  BCAR   Is "Black Man" racist now?
3/10/2010 1:49:38 PM   From:  MrsK   Afterall, I made a good post about Women astronauts, and you tuned it into an attack against not giving the poor oppressed little white man more attention. So which one of us has the issue?
3/10/2010 1:49:54 PM   From:  BCAR   "Are you implying I am not a real American?"

The first personal implication on this post, and evidence of a chip.
3/10/2010 1:51:00 PM   From:  MrsK   No the first personal reference on this post was "Wouldn't hurt to learn what real Americans are up to."
3/10/2010 1:51:02 PM   From:  BCAR   Actually my reply to that post was about NPR.

And honestly I've seen better posts.


By Wez.
3/10/2010 1:51:57 PM   From:  MrsK   Awww, maybe I should cry now?
3/10/2010 1:52:15 PM   From:  MrsK   Again with the personal attacks. Typical.
3/10/2010 1:52:54 PM   From:  MrsK   And if you don't like my posts, you might try getting off your ass and post something yourself.
3/10/2010 1:55:33 PM   From:  BCAR   I gave up posting for lent.
3/10/2010 1:56:04 PM   From:  MrsK   In what? 1997?
3/10/2010 1:57:15 PM   From:  BCAR   I have a lot to atone for.
3/10/2010 1:59:15 PM   From:  MrsK   LOL! Apparently so.
3/10/2010 2:01:34 PM   From:  BCAR   See, made you laugh.

Got to run now ---- See Ya Chippy
3/10/2010 2:02:24 PM   From:  MrsK   Fine but if you get to call me chippy I get to call you Blockhead.
3/10/2010 2:42:55 PM   From:  RaE   what a crappy propaganda filled, garbagy video. pure t shit.
3/10/2010 2:46:51 PM   From:  RaE   epic fail
3/10/2010 2:55:07 PM   From:  MrsK   I don't know RaE... Can't really argue when it is coming from the horses mouth...
3/10/2010 3:07:06 PM   From:  RaE   You think the tea parties are racist because they want to protect American Heritage and because they called obama a kenyan?

but you are a democrat, a party that founded the KKK, (a group whos members are still all democrats) and still puts policies in place that puts minorities into a cycle where they are constantly in poverty? Who's the racist here?
3/10/2010 3:15:21 PM   From:  PapaBryant   K, the MSM focuses on one or two weirdos who show up at ANY political rally, and tries to tar and feather the whole movement. Try looking for Alfonso Rachel's latest video blog on the Dallas Tea Party. He's a black conservative.
3/10/2010 3:15:33 PM   From:  PapaBryant   K, the MSM focuses on one or two weirdos who show up at ANY political rally, and tries to tar and feather the whole movement. Try looking for Alfonso Rachel's latest video blog on the Dallas Tea Party. He's a black conservative.
3/10/2010 3:18:14 PM   From:  RaE   Don't expect her to look at both sides. she prefers to see it as badly as possible.
3/10/2010 3:19:16 PM   From:  RaE   I'll make it really easy in case you want to check out Zo mrsk... This is his Dallas Tea Party video...


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B6kzpjHVmSE
3/10/2010 3:26:45 PM   From:  MrsK   RaE, you called me a racist and one sided all in the same breath. And you want me to listen to you? Fuk off.
3/10/2010 3:28:50 PM   From:  MrsK   And by the way, I am neither Democrat or Republican. Nor am I green party or any other. I am American. Plain and simple. I vote with which ever side fits closest to my ideals and standards. Please keep your silly labels to yourself.
3/10/2010 5:13:21 PM   From:  RaE   I didn't call you racist. I called Democrats racist. And you are one sided.
3/10/2010 7:11:26 PM   From:  eddo   ummm, trying to keep people from entering the country illegally is racist how?

Meegan is an idiot.
3/10/2010 8:10:37 PM   From:  MrsK   "You think the tea parties are racist because they want to protect American Heritage and because they called obama a kenyan?

but you are a democrat, a party that founded the KKK, (a group whos members are still all democrats) and still puts policies in place that puts minorities into a cycle where they are constantly in poverty? Who's the racist here?" <<< 'Nuff said in my book. You did call me a racist.

As for being one sided, if being firm in my beliefs and sticking to my guns when I believe in something is "One Sided" then I guess that's me. But if you think being "Open Minded" is about bending under the pressure of other peoples opinions and going with the majority is a strength I feel sorry for you. That's not my bag of beans. Never has been, never will be.

I am a woman who see's no fault in admitting when I am wrong. I've done so many times. But having strong beliefs and holding to my personal, political and social values is not one sided. If you see it that way that's your problem not mine.
3/10/2010 8:18:08 PM   From:  MrsK   That isn't racist Eddo, but attacking minorities by saying things like "People who voted couldn't even spell the word VOTE or say it in English" is a blatant racism remark. He was attacking minority voters and that is fukt up. If I am a registered voter, and I pay my taxes and I contribute to society, it is none of your (not YOU personally the asshat in the video) damned business what language is my first language. MY first language is spanish. And I am extremely capable of READING and SPEAKING the word VOTE. What's more is, I am very capable of calling him a culo in English and Spanish.

In vulgar parlems; He is an ass.
3/11/2010 4:27:06 AM   From:  PapaBryant   "People who voted couldn't even spell the word VOTE or say it in English" is a blatant racism remark."

Actually it isn't. It is addressing a problem that is growing in this country - voter fraud. There are known cases of illegal immigrants voting in elections, and it has been groups like ACORN that have facilitated those fraudulent votes.

3/11/2010 4:30:26 AM   From:  MrsK   You mean the voter fraud that won GW the first election? Funny...
3/11/2010 4:36:05 AM   From:  MrsK   Then on top of saying it is the "Non English Speakers" he is basically BLAMING the minorities for voting in Obama. Ok, majorily I can see minorities voting for Obama. But I can also see where his little charade is going, and see that it is only a matter of time before Minorities are being blamed for EVERYTHING. Not only that, but in case no one has noticed... Not all Spanish Speaking people are "FORIEGNERS" or "IMMIGRANTS".
3/11/2010 4:49:03 AM   From:  MrsK   And by the way one of my FAVORITE quotes is "Just because I speak with an accent, doesn't mean I think with an accent." Just because someone doesn't speak English, or speaks broken English DOES NOT make them illiterate, stupid, or ignorant. My grandfather (A Puerto Rican Born American Citizen) spoke broken English, and he was absolutely brilliant.

Some Americans are so damned ignorant that they hear an accent and think "Oh boy, here is an immigrant"... You know what I think when I hear an accent? "Wow... This person speaks at least two languages."

Yes I am ranting this morning. Because the more I think about what that asshole said the more angry I become. And perhaps he isn't the solitary vioce for the TeaPrty, but if that is the case then the Americans who are "Tea Baggers" should be held to the same standards to which they hold/demand of others; they should speak out.
3/11/2010 8:12:39 AM   From:  RaE   this post is rated : EPIC FAIL
3/11/2010 8:28:34 AM   From:  eddo   it's about time the minorities started to get blamed for everything.


us white Christian American males are getting tired of it...
3/11/2010 8:37:12 AM   From:  BCAR   http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/35810914/ns/world_news-the_new_york_times

In unrelated news and unreported by NPR over 500 Christians in one African nation are murdered by sectarian violence carried out by a Muslim group named "Thank Allah".


Thanks Allah
3/11/2010 8:40:21 AM   From:  BCAR   I have always contended that as things heat up any criticism of Obama would be labeled "Racist".

It took 3 replies.
3/11/2010 10:04:40 AM   From:  BCAR   Democratic Congressman Eric Massa

A REAL Tea Bagger

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/35802993
3/11/2010 11:38:56 AM   From:  MrsK   Funny RaE, it seems to be getting plenty of replies (sans your input) and is giving us something to talk about. Good thing I don't give a damn what you think.
3/11/2010 11:42:53 AM   From:  MrsK   Ew! Gross! (To Bcars link)
3/11/2010 11:43:49 AM   From:  MrsK   (The one about Massa) I did hear something about it. Nasty dirty old man... Sexual harrassment in any form is deplorable.
3/11/2010 11:47:34 AM   From:  eddo   just in time for Christmas 2010- Tickle Me Massa doll!
3/11/2010 11:48:23 AM   From:  MrsK   Ewwwww!
3/11/2010 11:53:16 AM   From:  RaE   the failure is your attempt to hurt the tea party's reputation. not in the success of the post.
3/11/2010 11:58:14 AM   From:  MrsK   LMAO! I see... So you think I have some dark sinister plan do you RaE? Ok! But I really think you just need to get off it already. I posted my point of view, how I see it. You seem to have issues with me expressing myself. You seem to always want to dictate to everyone how my opinion should be viewed and you are constantly trying to expose me for something I am not. Really, it makes you look very silly.
3/11/2010 12:03:59 PM   From:  MrsK   And please, please do me a favor and stop assuming you have me pegged. You have no idea...
3/11/2010 12:24:14 PM   From:  RaE   have you looked at that Zo video yet?
3/11/2010 12:28:08 PM   From:  MrsK   After you came into my post and called me a racist, one sided and now a failure... No. I have looked at PB's and BCAR's though. Thanks guys!

But since you know all bout me, and that I "Only want to see it as bad as possible" or whatever, I am really uninterested in anything you have to say. That's the beauty of being me.
3/11/2010 12:34:57 PM   From:  RaE   You do what you have to.
3/11/2010 12:35:22 PM   From:  RaE   Oh yeah, btw, i just posted the link to the video that PB suggested.
3/11/2010 12:40:57 PM   From:  MrsK   Well, whatever. Just so you know if you're going to come into my posts acting like a child that's exactly how I'm going to treat you.
3/11/2010 12:40:58 PM   From:  MrsK   Well, whatever. Just so you know if you're going to come into my posts acting like a child that's exactly how I'm going to treat you.
3/11/2010 1:01:44 PM   From:  RaE   I didn't come in acting like a child. I came in and replied in the spirit that I felt that started this post.

You act like you're a victim because I'm somehow attacking you or something, when my first couple of posts were about the video. Then you assumed your own meaning from my words and turned it into an attack. I never called you a racist. Your video calls the Tea Partiers racist, and I called democrats racist. If you're not a democrat, you dont fit into that group, do you?
3/11/2010 1:07:42 PM   From:  MrsK   Oh huney, firstly I would never allow the likes of You to victimize Me. Secondly ever since your little anti-Muslim post where you specifically called me out and when I specifically said that if you don't like my opinion then not to drag me into your discussions, you've taken every available swipe at me. Retract your little claws, and move on.

Bottom line, You don't care for my political views, that is perfectly fine. But you did call me a racist, you did call me one sided, and you did call me a failure, without my ever having said anything derrogatory to you in this post. And you repeated it, like I wasn't apying enough attention to your reply so you then made the comment again. Therefore, I mark you as having a 2 year old temper tantrum and write you off.
3/11/2010 1:11:11 PM   From:  MrsK   And by the way dear you're waffling. First it was the post, then it was my attempt to marr that picture perfect image of the Tea Bag movement, now it is the post again. Make up your mind.
3/11/2010 1:45:13 PM   From:  LiquidSnake   I'm interested to see if it goes majority Republican this election season. I bet it will.
3/11/2010 2:39:33 PM   From:  RaE   Since when did you become miss sensitive? And how did i call you out? I honestly don't remember, and am asking seriously. We've managed to coexist on this board so far, with a few scuffles, and constant differing of opinion, so I'm not sure what your deal is right now.

I did not call you a racist. You can get over that and drop it, or not. either way, it's up to you.

I am calling both this post, and your attack on the tea party, failures, not you. again, take it how you want to.

you are one sided, you always have been as long as i've been a member here, most people are to an extent, but you are one who refuses to see beyond your own viewpoint... if that's a problem for you, look to yourself to fix it, it's not my fault, I'm just pointing it out.

I dont want to fight with you. I think this post is unfair, but that's my opinion, and I am entitled to have it.

Talk about a temper tantrum...
3/11/2010 3:38:02 PM   From:  MrsK   Once again, you think you have me pegged. I am neither upset nor being sensetive. I am perfectly ok. I'm no going to argue with you about it anymore. I know what you were saying, I am not dumb. Play it however you want, ok?
