If Teabaggers were Black

My problem is with people like Cypress who begin a thread using a derogatory name intended to demean and then post an article that attempts to show racial injustice. The guy is a total knee-jerk hypocrite. TEA party rally's don't ask people to come armed....so right there his strawman is exposed. Let the comparison be made to black or arab militia's (they do exist) holding armed rally's and he can then attempt to make his lame point. Maybe then he can start a thread and call them racebaggers???

Oh yeah, like you NEVER post any threads with derogatory titles, eh?

Everything with you is 110% civility and no derogatory fat jokes or petty ad homs from you, right?

The militia rally was not a TEA party rally, though they, the militia folks, may well agree with the TAXED ENOUGH ALREADY perspective. Personally I think showing up with guns was counter productive...though kudos to them that NO VIOLENCE occured.

derogatory name intended to demean! I'll quit using the term 'teabaggers' when you start calling it the Democratic Party.

Really? Let's do a blind taste test then. Let's plop that picture of Fiddy in front of some white bubba from Greensburg, Indiana and ask him "Is this the picture of a true American Patriot or of some ghetto gangster?"

I gotta sneaky hunch who's going to win this Pepsi Challenge!

How fucking stupid! fiddy created the image to be gangsta. That's the intended purpose of the image, you fucking stupid hypocrite race baiter.

Fuck idiots
 
50 Cent's first single from about 7 years ago entitled "What Up Gangsta" and his Interscope label marketing team puts out pictures of 'Fiddy' looking as hard and gangster as possible. I know 50 is not the first person a record company has tried to market with a particular image.

comparing the two photos is extremely dishonest....one guy is pointing a AT you, the other is merely holding it...one is purposefully conveying a gangsta image that sells MILLIONS of records...which as cawacko points out, is 50's making money for corporations

lousy race baiting thread

I would invite you to rethink that statement. This board has a plethora of posts - probably several dozen at least- where Tea Bag advocates celebrate, high five, and pat each other on the backs about bringing weapons to Tea Bag rallies. And there's been much giggling, and yucking it up, about how bad-ass the tea baggers are with their guns.

I guarantee you this: if the million man march showed up in DC, brandishing guns, and celebrating the display of weaponry, the National Guard would have been called out to monitor the march.

Show just ONE of those posts. Liberals like you are trying their best to divide this country, even more.

Alveda King, niece of Dr. Martin Luther King, has nothing but praise for the Tea Party.

Clearly if you showed that photo, they would say Gansta... cause the photo says .... gansta... pretty friggin obvious.

Smart ass comments aside, the author does bring up some valid points. If a large group of black people armed themselves and held a rally, not knowing any other details, the knee jerk reaction would be 'oh shit, a bunch of blacks with guns... this can't be good'.

If the video of the event stated ahead of time that it was a 2nd Amendment protest rally, rationale people would not have a problem with it. The moronic white supremacists would go ape shit regardless of the reason of a group of black people getting together.

That said, the author also goes overboard with some of his analogies. He seems to imply that the anger shown towards Obama and Congress is somehow linked to race. That is pure ignorance. This is about the insane spending and ever rising debt. Yes, most of those getting 'angry' now and protesting did little during Bush's insane spending. But for most paying attention, Obama ramped up the deficit spending to UNPRECEDENTED levels. (yes, tossing that word back in Obama's face)

Part of it was necessary given the debacle unleashed by Clinton when he repealed Glass Steagall with the majority of both parties in support of such a move. Bush in turn did nothing to stem the problem, nor did the Rep led Congress up until 2007. Neither did the Dem led Congress from 2007 until now.

As for the rest of the vitriol the author cites, yes, there are extreme morons on the right. We know this. Just as we know there are many extreme morons on the left. We don't have to look to far into the past to see the vitriol from the left. Olberman.... Scott Brown... enough said.

That said, for the silent majority... we need to start calling out the extremists, just as this author did. We need to file complaints and launch protests against such vitriol. Rather than simply ignore the idiots, as I admit I have done in the past. Rather than ignoring the Limbaughs, Malkins, Olbermanns etc... we need to raise our voices against them, as their hatred is doing nothing but harm.

That's just because you are a frequent visitor to message boards, which probably biases your perception. A couple dozen lefties here, and the lefty blogs harsh on the teabaggers. But, more broadly, in the mainstream media, they are almost universally treated as benign, if passionate, protestors.

What a load of crap. How many times has the media tried to portray them as violent mobs or angry white people or racists bigoted bastards etc...???

'universally treated as benign'???? ROFLMAO...
