Will the Teabaggers stage protests over the SCOTUS ruling on corporate campaign funding?
Edited on Fri Jan-22-10 09:11 AM by bulloney
They've gone around calling Obama a fascist (among other things). If this SCOTUS ruling doesn't ring "fascism" I don't know what does.

Will the Teabaggers express their outrage in front of the SCOTUS building and other venues?

This will be a telling chapter in Teabaggers' credibility, I feel. Do they really believe what they say, or are they just disguising their racism and political prejudices?

4. There you go. Then, this SCOTUS ruling needs to be used to expose them as such.

5. What credibility? They're lying fascist-wannabe racist pigs
and they love this ruling.

Tom Hartmann is full of shit on the subject of teabaggers.

7. From the horse's mouth so I don't know. Let's see what the horses' asses,
like beck and rushbo and hannity, have to say about it. Who will do the thinking for them that they'll listen to is a better question.

Dale Robertson, the founder of TeaParty.org, reacting directly to the Citizens United decision, told blogger Joy Reid that it is a constitutional travesty: "It just allows them to feed the machine. Corporations are not like people. Corporations exist forever, people don't. Our founding fathers never wanted them; these behemoth organizations that never die, so they can collect an insurmountable amount of profit. It puts the people at a tremendous disadvantage."

8. They're too stupid to see the irony in all of this!!
Edited on Fri Jan-22-10 09:24 AM by Harry Monroe
If/When a corporate bought Republican gets back into office in '12, I would expect this "Teabagger" movement to die a quick death. The irony that they were present at the birth of real fascism in this country, one of the very things they are protesting, will completely escape their pea brain minds. I'm sure they are actually applauding this SCOTUS decision!

9. They're so dumb they don't even know what Gadsen flag means let alone what 'fascism' means.
Edited on Fri Jan-22-10 09:28 AM by blm
I'll make it simple for even dumbasses like them.

Gasden flag symbolized that this nation is a nation that would NEVER strike first, but will strike BACK. Get that?

Fascism = Corporatism. Get that?

Corporations make the rules you will live by. GOP and their handsomely paid mouthpiece Rush convinced you that you were supporting 'rugged individualism' while delivering your votes to those working to set up the Corporate States of America.


Don't Tread on WalMart.

Don't Tread on Microsoft.

Don't Tread on Halliburton.

Is that what you marched for?

Try using the Gadsden flag for a revolution against the Fascism you helped install, because they are CERTAINLY trodding upon us now.
