www.tvnz.co.nz

Our nation television news programme, has reported that racial slurs were yelled out at the protests in washington

2. If the teabaggers ended up killing someone at their hate rallies the media here would.....
either ignore it or just try to play it off as though it's no big deal and use the "it's just a few bad apples" meme.

3. Isn't that special. Thanks for making us look so pre-historical, teabuggers.

4. I can imagine how horrified some people around the world must be
These dumb fucks are starting to make Arafat's funeral look dignified by comparison, jesus christ.
