Tea Party topples its first incumbent.

[DaShi]

Can you find someone who isn't part of the teabaggers to say that?

You think ThinkProgress is associated with the Tea Party?

You may be dumber than Oerdin. You're definitely far less adorable.

“If it wasn’t for the Tea Party movement, Scott Brown wouldn’t have gotten that seat,” said one Tea Party activist.

God, you're an idiot.

Way to ignore the rest of the paragraph, dumb****.

How did you survive graduate school? The evidence for the rest of that paragraph is the teabagger quote. I think you just one the Slowwhand award for illiteracy.

Yes, the teabagger quote is definitely the evidence for the $300,000 figure ThinkProgress provides as the contribution to Brown's campaign from a Tea Party PAC.

You're heading for Ecotard territory pretty quickly on this.

[DaShi]

You're too simple to talk to.

[Drake Tungsten]

Good comeback, ******. You should've walked away instead of giving me more ammunition...

[DaShi]

You're so dumb you couldn't even get Oerdin's point.

[Drake Tungsten]

Oerdin's point was completely wrong, as usual. Only a moron like you would try to double down on it.

[DaShi]

Oerdin is talking about how Scott Brown isn't a candidate that the tea party should support. That they did doesn't diminish his point that Scott Brown is a win for them. It would be like the republicans supporting a democrat to keep a communist out of power.

By the way, why hasn't this teabagging thing gotten old yet? I personally hated middle school.

I generally make an effort not to call them that on Poly, because it provokes whining. But I still think of them as "teabaggers" not as an insult, but out of force of habit. Besides, that word has a nicer flow than "tea partier" or "TPer." "TPer" means a teenage prankster on Halloween anyway, so it's not much better.

Re: outrage over the Boston Tea Party association, that doesn't seem the kind of thing we in America really get outraged over. We're pretty used to people hijacking the Founding Fathers' memories to support whatever idiot notion is "in" at the moment, to be honest. They're like celebrity spokespeople who can't refuse and don't want royalties. The TP is just an unusually blatant and silly example.

Besides, the real idolaters of our American myth tend to be more right-wing anyhow. Democrats are too busy talking about Jefferson boning his slaves.

To be fair, DD actually addressed the issue at hand. However, he didn't provide any support of that. I'm sure he has something stashed away somewhere.

[Drake Tungsten]

Oerdin is talking about how Scott Brown isn't a candidate that the tea party should support.

Oerdin's point was that no candidate the Tea Party has supported has won an election...

I'm still waiting. Who have tea baggers actually elected to government? No one?

I didn't think so. As political movements go if you don't actually elect anyone then you're pretty much a failure.

There have been three special elections all of which the tea baggers tried to upset and all of which they failed. Miserably failed.

Oerdin is clearly wrong about this and only dip****s like yourself can't see it.
