The conservative Teabaggers may not know it yet, but they're DOOMED!
Edited on Fri Apr-09-10 07:03 PM by MrScorpio
They've expelled all of the adults out of the GOP.

Their biggest cheerleaders are nothing but a bunch of rich assclowns who are playing them for complete suckers.

And despite all of their bitching, moaning, racism and stupidity, should there be any surprise at all that they have nothing but failure to show for as their only accomplishment?

Now they're taking teabagosity to a new, more radical and violent level... Whooo boy!

So this is their "winning" non-strategy?

As long as their losing, they're going to get more and more rightwing, isolated and viewed as the bad guys.

Their guns won't save them... Because the cops have bigger guns and more of them.

Signs are that that the economy is getting better and that the Dems are making it better... Which is going to make the teabaggers look like they're in opposition to jobs and prosperity.

They won't become a leading political movement... Because their ongoing penchant for marginalization means that they'll never convince enough people to elect their leaders to the highest offices.

Eventually, they're going to do something so violent and stupid that even Fox News will disown them.

When that happens, it's the signal that they're all TOAST.

1. You are probably right.
Tragically, though, one of those knuckle-dragging morons will most likely end up shooting somebody before the teabaggers' final collapse occurs.

2. Oh Mr. Scorpio, do you promise it is so? I think so too but sometimes fret.

Can't we all just take one collective step forward?

3. I commented on this today.
The only difference in our opinions is: I think fox and the teabaggers will continue the hate speech even after they kill someone. Nothing emboldens crazies like success. They've already caused Stupak to retire.

19. could be
seems like the likes of Hannity, O'Reilly, Coulter, Beck et al are crazy and disconnected enough to continue through violence as it boosts ratings, etc etc, and they just don't give a flying shit about anyone... sure I'll buy this theory.

4. They have been eggin each other on for a few decades
in their clubhouses out in the woods or where ever.
My concern is not so much for myself..I shoot back/
Then again I doubt anyone would bother us up here.
I am concerned that a whole bunch of folks who are mere bystanders will get hurt.

6. That's my biggest concern, the innocent bystanders
The biggest difference between them and us is that a radical movement doesn't believe that there are ANY innocents.

As long as most of us stand up for what's right, those radical bastards will be in the wrong.

9. True. I have talked to a good many folks all over the spectrum over the years
I have heard stories from Holocaust survivors who told me that (in the 1980s and 90s) that the US was more and more scary and seemed more like Pre-WWII to them, gay folks who have gotten in their way(myself included).

I have also snooped on some of those meetings of various groups..been shot at by kkklub for spying when I was a teenager. I have also shot at some of those kkk members when they tried to burn my home with us in it using the lighted cross propped against the front of the house.

I have been into a few Dominionist churches and had some little auntie looking lady open her purse and show me what looked like an uzi and tell me it's for the brown people when the revolution to take back murika takes off.

I have had white supremacists (I'm white redneck/biker looking type) tell me of the 'glorious' revolution agains N****,F*****s, wetbacks, K**** they are nearly ready to launch(this was about 3 yrs ago) and it was not just one of these persons. I have had it repeated in slightly different ways over and over. It has been very odd I never ever asked questions leading or other wise, just looked on politely ...

My life has been sort of Forrest Gump meets T.S.Garp.

Maybe I look trustworthy or something.

These people seem to be serious and crazed and I feel are extremely dangerous..I may be wrong, but I doubt it.

When I have tried to report or tell others whom I

5. They are a significant part of the republican base. The only difference is that the media has made
them into a "movement" like the Christian right "Moral Majority" in the past. They are republicans first.

8. The crashtheteaparty web site has been infiltrated by Teabaggers!
Apparently Hannity mentioned the site on his show, so the Teabaggers are out in force posting crap on the web site.

11. Faux Noise will blame the
"Democrats among the teabaggers. I don't think they will ever disown them. It's their audience.

13. A party of Drunks
The party's been going on for decades, but it's getting really crazy now. Anything goes! Everyone's bombed and saying really stupid things. Some have got guns and are shootin' holes in the ceilings and windows. Look at the guy pissing in the teapot!

Eventually, they'll wake up and, with a gigantic political hangover, wonder why their house is completely wrecked and most of their sane friends have long since vanished.

14. Either that or the ultimate nightmare senario
The Ultimate Nightmare:

A charismatic power greedy leader who is smart yet deeply cynical emerges who leads them to victory ...

15. You are correct, and these other idiots are 1000% wrong.
Here is the Nazi Blueprint.

(1) Stage an orchestrated, perfectly-timed economic meltdown to attack social cohesion & create instability

(2) Create an artificial movement that will be a vehicle for a Third Party

(3) Catalyze these Brownshirts to rage in the streets as (a) a destabilizing social force, and (b) as political leverage

(4) Let this artificial movement be ridiculed as buffoons by intelligensia before they seize power;

(5) Let this artificial movement be led by a charismatic messianic figure who was a failed media artist (Hitler, Stalin, Mussolini, Palin).

Sorry, folks, America deserves this. For not knowing HOW Hitler rose to power. For NOT SEEING THIS COMING.

16. Not everyone is blind.
There are, in fact, a lot of us who know how the Nazi's came into power, and who aren't shutting our eyes to it.

17. Any student of history will tell you...
Edited on Sat Apr-10-10 01:09 AM by MrScorpio
The Germans had at that time a weaked parliamentary system that could be taken over and then abolished by Hitler.

There's nothing even close to the possibility of that happening in this country.

As long as we have our existing political system, it won't happen.

The Germans had imposed on them from the outside economic restrictions because they were losers in WW-I.

There was a global depression that fueled further resentment... We've just started a recovery.

The analogies, however convenient they seem, are false.

22. Have we really started a recovery?
The bankers and Wall Street Goons are right back to what they were doing before.

Corporations can now fund any candidate without limits.

We are still involved in two illegal wars that are un-winnable.

Public schools and universities are being dismantled.

Many of our factories are closing, except weapons manufacturers.

I am not so ready to write off the possibility of the collapse of our government, and a move to an extreme authoritarian state. Another national tragedy or even a perceived outside threat coupled with other de-stabilizing factors could propel us into the abyss.

25. Abolishing a weakened parliament? Poland's government was decapitated today in one action.
Watch out for the GOP "Walkout" on Congress.

Then listen for the USAF "Al Qaeda Sympathizer Lone Gunman" to plunge a "rogue F-16" into the Capitol Dome.

Decapitation has many forms.
