why do Teabaggers hate President Obama?

Saying that they are racists is an over simplification.


I really would love to understand the root cause for their hatred .... they don't listen to facts, they aren't really into 'reasoned arguments' that much ... when president Obama gives a speech on education .. they run to cover their children's ears ...


I mean what is it???


Is it guilt hangover from slavery . ... or some other kind of defense mechanism because their parents did not hug them enough when they were kids?


Maybe we should put Mental health treatment under single payer -- and then we can cure all the Republicans.

5. The ones I know are purely selfish
They have theirs, they want to keep theirs, and they don't want anyone else to get what they have. They are also Fox News watchers, they appear to be politically and historically ignorant, and they are proud of it.

6. Ignorance is a conservative value
Education is only for liberals and nothing comes of it. All the prolifers need is never ending war.

They are "teabaggers" because they know what the Boston Tea Party was all about? Their current efforts are a tribute to their ignorance.

9. Why?
Because they are nuts.

They are told to by the likes of Beck, OxyRush, and the dingbat from Wasilla.

Sheeple, just fucking sheeple.

Plus, they can't stand it when they aren't in charge.

But mostly, cause their nuts.

12. They hated Clinton
But there is an extra layer of hatred here, and it's because of race, yet they don't want to admit it.

They look at the President as being in authority over the country and they just can't stand that a black man is in authority over them.

15. Wasn't it Newt that convinced them that the Republicans had a permanent
majority in Washington? They never thought they would see Democrats take over what they thought was rightfully theirs. They are out to oppose Obama and any other Democrats on principle alone. They don't even have to understand the issue and it wouldn't matter if it was of benefit to them too, if the Democrats are for it, they will be against it.

16. He's black. He's popular. He won in a landslide.
But people who are full of hate don't need a reason to hate.

17. I agree: If you refuse to accept the correct answer, which everybody knows is correct...
then you can have hours of fun and enjoyment simply making up all of the not-racism answers you like.

Have fun!

18. COME ON guys, you are talking about people who attend family
reunions looking for a new mate.

Do you really expect intelligent actions and reactions from these inbred morons?
