On the eve of reform, Tea Partiers show what they're really made of

[Dr Strangelove]

75% of them are college educated

Dude, Liberty University is a "college", but I swear to you most of it's students can't fill out a simple health questionnaire. Ask the majority why they wear glasses and most don't know, other than "I can't see well without them." A sizeable portion of them can't organize a coherent paragraph or sentence. About a year ago LU started filling out the forms for them.

[DinoDoc]

I'm seeing alot of prejudice and little data to back it up, Doc.

[Asher]

I think it's clear he's referring to personal experience.

Considering he's not exactly a left-wing nutjob, I'm not sure why you don't believe the good doctor.

I'm just curious why anyone should give a **** about his opinion of Liberty U grads in response to a poll about Tea Partiers.

[Ben Kenobi]

Sorry Ben, but this is the first I have seen "******" and "******" and spit hurled at black and gay Congresspeople.

You should go to prolife rallies more often. Or Prop 8 rallies. Do you not recall the riots there?

The more we call it out, the more people realize it, and the less support the Tea Party gets, the better.

Well of course, it's all about the Benjamins.

Now, how do you reconcile your argument here, with the fact that Justice Thomas' wife has her own tea party group? Is she racist? Or is she simply the 'wrong kind of white people'

I don't believe for a second that these people are at all representative of Tea Partiers.

Wow, talk about vitriol.

1. Teapartiers are like Justice Thomas' wife. Conservative, well educated and angry about the future of America.

Just because you hate them doesn't make them stupid.

Please cite an account of "******" and "******" being used at pro-life rallies and prop 8 rallies.

Note: "******" was probably used at Prop 8 rallies, but by your ilk

I think they are mostly angry because they are not in power.

My problem with the Tea Party folks is that they are disingenuous. These are largely the same people who blindly supported Bush's Bush's off-the-books war effort, HUGE increase in the deficit, HUGE increase in the size of the federal government and his assault on the Bill of Rights.

Now they are suddenly against these things. Doesn't compute.

Huge increase in the deficit? Really?

Obama's already increased the deficit more in 2 years than Bush did in 8.

Yes, it was huge. And Bush was not facing economic catastrophe. Instead, he was busy presiding over its inevitable arrival, leaving the next in line holding the bag.

I've heard both chanted at us. We, of course have a fair number of black people, and hispanic people in our group. They get so much **** dumped on them by 'progressives'. It's really enlightening where the racisms resides.

As for Prop 8 rallies:



You are proud of this, Asher?

[DinoDoc]

It's not as if Obama has done anything about it given the Ahab like obsession he's had with the healthcare bill for nearly half his presidency.

I'm also curious couldn't the same charge (Where were you when x happened?) be laid at any grassroots protest movement.

[Ben Kenobi]

2004: $412.5 billion
2005: $318.6
2006: $247.7
2007: $162.8
2008: $454.8

Right, I see. Compare this with the 1.5 Trillion that Obama has racked up in one year.

He's more Gollum than Ahab. My precioussss.

So to confirm, you are asserting that this video shows people calling an old white woman "******" and/or "******"? Because that's what you were asked to provide citations for.

There's some douches in the group, of course, but I don't see them uttering racial slurs and homophobic remarks. They're just doing what protesters do...scream.

I don't like protesters in general, for behaviour exactly like in the video there, but it's one thing to be an obnoxious protester and it's quite another to spit on people, and call them "******" and "******". You've said this has happened at Prop 8 and pro-life protests, so I asked you to support it.
