Teabagger "President & Founder" Holds Up(Mispelled?) N-Word Sign
Edited on Mon Jan-04-10 06:09 PM by kpete



And the guy holding the sign? He is Dale Robertson, who is the self-described "President and Founder of the Tea Party." He owns and operates TeaParty.org. So, yes, this is an actual organizer of the movement, and not just some dude. His sign reads, in full: "Congress = Slaveowner / Taxpayer = Niggar." Maybe he thinks he is allowed to use that word if he spells it wrong?

1. And he'll say that somehow it doesn't "count" as racist because he spelled it wrong
Just watch.

25. From the Urban dictionary
Niggar - 2. Way of getting around using the "n" word on chatrooms with censorship.

3. He'll say it's OK, because he's calling himself a "nigger."
Like when Ralph Nader did it.

5. This picture speaks volumes as to the current state of the conservative/republican movement...
Down to the 'man of faith' hat. Jesus Christ.

32. They are grotesque caricatures
of real Americans. Like something made up by a satirist. It's too bad conservatives are completely insensitive to how they look to others. Lack of irony, lack of self-awareness....and a "man of faith" hat.

Pathetic.

I think the Freepers will blame it on the hugh fail of the Muslin socilist education system.

11. He's doing it to generate controversy.
He wants people to talk about it so he can get back on the news. I've noticed less tea party talk on the major networks lately. I guess he considers bad press is still press.

12. Mixing religion with racism=KKK
His hat reads 'Man of Faith' with an embroidered bible on it for those that didn't see the full-size picture. Ladies and Gentlemen, what we have here in 2010 are simply just KKK members who are so outraged we have an black President that they no longer wear the hoods. The hoods are off in twenty ten.

13. ***Quick question on DU etiquette***
I have neither rec'd or unrec'd this thread yet, my question is: Does a thread like this get rec'd so we can draw attention to this, or un-rec'd as no disrepect to the OP but as an unrec for the content? Kind of like unreccing that man's behavior, or reccing to draw attention to this man's behavior?

15. IMO the more attention that can be drawn to idiots like this the better.
It certainly does not help their cause for their bigotry to be highlighted..

16. Recommend if you think people should see the post.
Doing so lets more people see the reprehensible attitudes espoused by the Tea Party organizer pictured.

17. He's only a pawn in their game!
A bullet from the back of a bush took Medgar Evers' blood.
A finger fired the trigger to his name.
A handle hid out in the dark
A hand set the spark
Two eyes took the aim
Behind a man's brain
But he can't be blamed
He's only a pawn in their game.

A South politician preaches to the poor white man,
"You got more than the blacks, don't complain.
You're better than them, you been born with white skin," they explain.
And the Negro's name
Is used it is plain
For the politician's gain
As he rises to fame
And the poor white remains
On the caboose of the train
But it ain't him to blame
He's only a pawn in their game.

The deputy sheriffs, the soldiers, the governors get paid,
And the marshals and cops get the same,
But the poor white man's used in the hands of them all like a tool.
He's taught in his school
From the start by the rule
That the laws are with him
To protect his white skin
To keep up his hate
So he never thinks straight
'Bout the shape that he's in
But it ain't him to blame
He's only a pawn in their game.

From the poverty shacks, he looks from the cracks to the tracks,
And the hoof beats pound in his brain.
And he's taught how to walk in a pack
Shoot in the back
With his fist in a clinch
To hang and to lynch
To hide 'neath the hood
To kill with no pain
Like a dog on a chain
He ain't got no name
But it ain't him to blame
He's only a pawn in their game.

Today, Medgar Evers was buried from the bullet he caught.
They lowered him down as a king.
But when the shadowy sun sets on the one
That fired the gun
He'll see by his grave
On the stone that remains
Carved next to his name
His epitaph plain:
Only a pawn in their game.

29. We are the ones bringing it into the discussion
They are not having a discussion. They are just waving guns and racist signs.

We are the only ones having a discuss.

31. They have been planning it since before Obama was President
They need this because they can't stand on the merits of their ideology.

"Playing the race card"
Taiters postulate:
Anyone claiming someone else is playing the race card, is themselves playing the race card.
