Where is the Teabagger outrage over the SC decision?

[Bill McBlueState]

I mean, they're hardcore populists who hate big government, right?

When are they going to take to the streets with their horribly mangled slogans to take back America for the little people?

1. If Glenn Beck tells them this is okay, they will believe it.

Sheep led to the slaughter.

[NJmaverick]

2. Tea Baggers are a corporate sponsored entity

they are not going to go against their own

[hlthe2b]

8. Exactly... for a while, the teabaggers will be the conduit...

through which corporate fascists manage to buy elections.

By the time they may wise up, they will have outlived their usefulness and be simply discarded as Corporate Bought Reps and Senators are in place.

30. Assholes think the rights to speech and association means you still have speech when you associate.

4. I heard FUX wasn't even talking about it

Ergo - for baggers it has not happened.

[SpiralHawk]

42. "Huh? Fox did an in-depth exclusive on Supreme Pizza, right." - TeaBaggers

"Or is this about the Supreme Basketball court? Whatever. I am sure Fox will tell me how to think about this shit if it somehow becomes important or whatever. Yawn. Got to get back to hating lib-ruls, so don't bug us again."

7. They should love this since its the roadmap for dismantling government and selling off the pieces

They just don't have the vision of what the end result looks like when we pay for our air, water, sunlight, wind, roads, jails, justice, prisons, schools, etc. from private for profit companies.

9. Teabaggers: Don't Tread on Halliburton

10. right wingers are masochists. they love taking a beating from corporations

because they truly believe that they will one day be part of the special club.

[Blue_Tires]

23. +1

[SammyWinstonJack]

41. And yet that NEVER happens. And it never will for most of them.

What morans they are. :dunce: Meanwhile the rest of us have to pay for their self-serving stupidity . Nice, eh?

[KansDem]

11. "...they're hardcore populists who hate big government, right?"

Big corporations are okay...apparently.

Maybe it has something to do with that old canard that "capitalism" means "freedom," so "big capitalism" means "big freedom."

[blm]

18. they LOVE big government as long as the governing philosophy is FASCISM and not democracy

where citizens are actually in control.

Ever hear a teabagger demand the books be opened on any serious government matter involving our national security and our right to open government? Nope. They demanded to see the books about Clinton's open zipper. Furtive sex with a girlfriend not your wife is about all their feeble minds could grasp.

[tridim]

12. They're actually the idiocrats Matt Judge warned us about.

They love their electrolytes.

[Swede]

20. Might get something started.

You never know.

[blm]

22. please start, same simple format....start with GE. It really works visually

I'm on too many ignore lists. :) I had the temerity over the last 9 years to be concerned about the road to fascism and how we got on that road.

[Dappleganger]

15. Yesterday on our local progressive show...

a caller who claimed to be a 'rugged individualist' actually defended the SCOTUS ruling by saying that since he owns stocks in various companies, it will give him more say in the political process. I kid you not, this man was seriously deluded and the hosts both asked him what he was smoking.

[Chisox08]

17. Glenn Beck didn't tell them to be outraged

31. Because this isn't a "pro-corporate" decision, Olbermann and Hartmann notwithstanding.

This is about PERMANENT GOP rule. It's as simple as that. Big Business IS GOP; a few neoliberal Democrats don't change this fact.

In fact, there won't be neoliberal Democratic politicians left. There won't be Democratic politicians left but perhaps a token opposition.

[dgibby]

32. You're assuming they're intelligent enough to understand the ramifications. n/t

[Zero Division]

33. Glen Beck to declare: Big Corporate-Run Govt. is Awesome.

They don't really care about "Big Government", they only care that it's run by the people they trust.

[FormerDittoHead]

35. I'm thinking they're looking to get corporate jobs, if only corporations weren't exporting them. n/t

[iceman66]

36. Good question.

[Jefferson23]

37. Great question, and I wait with anticipation to hear their response.

[proud2BlibKansan]

38. Teabaggers are stupid; they think corporate power is good.

At one of their rallies I saw this sign:

Those EVIL Insurance Companies Employ a Lot of People

39. I just saw this on Crooks and Liars, thought I would pass it on here:

Fox News' opinion shows strangely mum on the Citizens United ruling
By John Amato Friday Jan 22, 2010 6:00am

David and I scanned through Fox News last night and surprisingly, Glenn Beck, Bill O'Reilly, Sean Hannity and Greta Van Susteren didn't mention the very controversial and pro-corporatist Citizens Untied ruling by the Supreme court. Not a word. It reminds me of how they pretty much ignored the Haiti earthquake.

Bret Baier's "All Star Panel" discussed it with Charles Krauthammer and Fred Barnes loving it, while Mara Liaisson admitted that the ruling would benefit Republicans in 2010 and 2012 because corporations have much more money than the labor unions.

Shepard Smith had a short report on it that just recapped the decision and added a few sound bites from Chuck Schumer and Mitch McConnell.

But it's really clear that while the big opinionators loved the ruling off air -- because now corporations are being viewed as individuals who have the freedom to pour tons of money into the political system, a fact that will heavily favor conservatives -- they must understand that Americans will not love this ruling, because it gives Big Corp an even more unfair advantage in our election process. Americans are fed up with the influence these money-changers and powermongers have on the process.

How can they defend this ruling when they have been promoting a phony right-wing populism? If the teabaggers are truly as opposed to corporate power as they claim, they logically would hate this ruling. Or will their producerism overwhelm them?

40. They are a corporate monster.

That's why. Plus, since FUX hasn't said a word
about it, they probably don't know. Or care.

[butterfly77]

43. A lot of them are too stupid ..

to realize how it will affect them..They really do think they are the populist movement.
