What is your personal definition of "teabagger" and/or "birther"? |
|
Let's have some fun with this.
Here are some I found on urban dictionary:
Teabagger - One of the many uneducated and politically illiterate persons involved in the Tea Party movement in the USA. - A douche who whines about govt spending after his party went on a spending rampage with bankrupt policies and morals, a party that started a war for no reason and who spends money only to protect the rich.
Birther - A racist sore loser who can't deal with having a black president so they make up absurd conspiracy theories about Barack Obama's birth certificate. These nutjobs actually believe that there has been a conspiracy going back 48 years to fake Barack Obama's birth certificate. Apparently they had a crystal ball and knew that this black child (born in the days of segregation) would someday run for President. - someone who believes that someone with black skin can't possibly be a real american, and thus cannot legally serve as president

is what I'd use to describe both.
I do believe there is a cure. Unplug the infected from freerepublic.com, Limbaugh and FOX news. Unfortunately it is easier to cure a heroine addict.

3. Both of those mutant groups are HATEAHOLICS, they are addicted to hate... |
|
Fox News and right wing radio market hatred, fear, racism and rage. They are excellent at their jobs because their audiences are filled with the illiterate, the uneducated, the ignorant, the gullible and the profoundly stupid...

anger, racism and ignorance/stupidity. They would have fit right in as Hitler was rising to power in Germany in the 1930s.

15. I allow it a pretty broad definition... |

I allow it a pretty broad definition-- someone who believes with a dogmatic and militant insistence that their own political philosophy is correct at the expense of all the others. Which unfortunately places many baggers here at DU

Yeah, I know, not all Republicans agree with the teabaggers/birthers. But until we hear from the GOP a resounding repudiation of the racist garbage at the heart of the both movements, I'll continue to believe that the party doesn't object to it. For that matter, I'll continue to believe that they privately welcome the possibility of violence against Obama.

19. I doubt it applies to every/all, but many seemingly want to cloak hatred in the term conservative |
|
They don't *actually* hate liberals/lefties, anti-war types, transparency of social systems, social safety nets, those who oppose the corporate/police state, etc...no, they don't hate those people, they're merely conservative.

21. There are people who are unrec'ing this thread. I rec'd it and it stayed 0 |
|
I wonder if freepers joined DU just so they could unrec. threads they don't like.
Your OP speaks the truth. It's true that a teabagger is uneducated/illiterate (we saw their signs full of misspelled words) and just a douche bag.
It's also true that a birther is nothing but a racist.
Kick to keep this top.
