What I hate about the teabaggers is the fact they are upset at someone making $25,000

[ej510]

to $35,000 a year, but give the people making billions who we are subsidizing a pass. How fuckin stupid can you be? I am tired of these mutha fuckas to. If you hate big government, then you would go after the people costing you the most money, but they don't. Most of these morons are broke themselves.

[rfranklin]

1. There is a reason they are morans...

becuase they are so freakin' stoopid.

[RKP5637]

2. They are Stupid and easily led. I don't think there's much getting through to

them on what is really going on, and if you present to them an intelligent analysis, they will say, well, if that's what you want to believe. The republican party and the corporatists have figured out how to capture the Stupid in this county and use them to do their bidding, and they have done an outstanding job.

3. My big problem with Teabaggers

is that they breath the same air as I do.

[ej510]

29. Why are teabaggers ecstatic to witness their own demise?

[HowHasItComeToThis]

4. THEY ARE ALL MEDIA CREATIONS FROM THOSE WHO HATE DEMOCRACY

[n2doc]

5. The media lies to them by telling them that teachers are making 100K a year

I think if someone actually was able to come on tv showing that they make below average wages, it would help. But you will never sea that. They have a fantasy world built up by fox lies.

[CommonSensePLZ]

6. "Big government" doesn't mean crap

It just means no taxes, no black president, don't restrict my guns. No problem with the US military warring with whatever country for whatever reasons the US wants or rich people buying the government. I doubt there's a real libertarian in the bunch.

[Populist_Prole]

12. Of course

It means exactly those things to them. Another indicator that they are fraudulent phony protesters of "freedom" is how they they let the fundies muscle in and theocratize the movement so quickly. The gel that holds it all together is an abstract concoction of imagery featuring statues of liberty draped in US flags, proud looking bald eagles, and all the other faux mom & apple pie values bullshit.

[walldude]

7. The hypocrisy is running rampant..

They whined and bitched about people making $250,000 a year, about how hard it is to get by on that and how they can't handle a 3% tax increase. Now they are pissing on people who make less than 50 grand a year, calling them greedy, overpaid and under worked. It's disgusting

[CommonSensePLZ]

8. +1

And I'm so glad to see people aren't standing for it either.

[ej510]

9. It time for millions to march in the streets in every city every town in America.

[JohnnyRingo]

10. I watched a History Channel show about the civil war and Abraham Lincoln last weekend

My ears perked up when they mentioned that while the war was waged to defend slavery and the profits of King Cotton, none of the Confederate soldiers who enlisted to fight and die for the cause owned slaves. Nor did they share the interests of wealthy plantation owners who had everything to lose and wouldn't waste the saliva to spit on a common Southerner. The soldiers were essentially brainwashed in the belief that they could die to preserve "states rights" and "Southern heritage". Indeed, the soldiers fought against their better interests in the agricultural job market.

History has repeated it's self over and over since those days as mega-millionaires and consciousless corporations recruit the working man to go forth to do their legwork without consideration for their own sake. I call these zombified class warriors "Barstool Republicans", fighting to the proverbial death to preserve a world of private schooling, country club membership, and tax havens that they themselves will never realize.

[county worker]

25. For the southerners the Civil war was also anti government.

Jefferson Davis said something to the effect that if the South won the war he could not govern the Southern States because of the lack of a central government.

[CrossChris]

11. They think it's $25k of THEIR money. The Repubs have done a great job of spreading this, and we've

done a great job of never refuting it.

[ej510]

14. It's the most frustrating thing I have witnessed. I will never understand willful ignorance.

How can someone who is broke get mad at someone else who is broke,but praise the guy who robbed them both. :banghead:

[CrossChris]

18. The guy who robbed them both is part of the media & BOTH major parties.

Who is the broke guy going to believe---another broke guy, or the most powerful guys in the country?

[ej510]

19. Sadly the teabaggers will believe the guy who robbed them both.

[1776Forever]

13. Check out this video for clarification as to what these people think like from Drew Carey:

Yes THE Drew Carey is on the Board of the Koch's Reason Foundation:

Living Large, by Drew Carey and Reason.tv

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GvvuHREm5jg

[Erose999]

33. That video is a crock. I've never been a fan of "man on the street" type questions.

Those people with boats and jetskis are probably fools who overextended themselves with credit. If they are even really "middle class".

Reminds me of Mayor McCheese saying "the fundamentals of the economy are strong". These fat cat bastards like Drew Carey and Mayor McCheese are so out of touch.

[DFW]

15. Here's a survey/poll I want to see:

How many Teabaggers never watch Fox, or at leaset only occasionally, and do not use it as a source of information?

My bet is that the percentage is less than five, which pretty much would say whose bidding that "movement" really does.

[brewens]

16. One thing about the really older people. I worked for a guy that is

now in his 80's. During the late 1980's I know that he was unable to relate to inflation at all. To him, the $5.00 an hour or so that he had worked for at one time was good money. When the equivalent was $10 per hour he just could not accept that. He seriously thought the union was forcing him to way overpay us.
Some retired guy that was lucky to hit $20,000 before he was done, probably thinks $35,000 is huge. Of course with some, they won't get some of the differences. Like when they were working and they had full ride health care for their whole family.
Then there are guys I worked with, that think they were working class heroes, that were a joke. They just hung around the warehouse bullshitting half the day. Semi-retired by age 45 because they worked up to some supervisor position. No way some of those guys would get or keep a job for long the way things are now. For one, thing you don't show up hungover almost everyday. Some of the biggest teabagging cranks out there would stand no chance trying to raise a family now.

[HopeHoops]

17. Don't confuse teabaggers with logic - the tapioca between their ears can't handle it.

[Aerows]

20. The problem only comes in...

... if you are not a Judeo-Christian Right Winger. If you are, anything goes. If you aren't, well, you don't deserve to live anyway, so it's just fine to be upset at you no matter how much money you make.

[Kingofalldems]

21. They are bolckheads who make up their own facts

[ThomCat]

22. If you are poor, they swear you must be subsidized unfairly.

But if you are rich, they admire you for it and want to be like you, so you're a role model to them.

They also buy into the bullshit myth that anyone can become rich if they just try hard enough. So by protecting the rich, they think they are protecting themselves. It's just not who they are now, but who they think they will be someday in the foreseeable future.

Their ability to see reality, and especially the future is incredibly inaccurate. Blind, even. But you can't convince any fanatic of their errors. Ever.

:(

[ej510]

23. My question ia why do facts make them angry?

[ThomCat]

24. They don't want to admit that they are deluding themselves.

Reality really does have a well known liberal bias. If you are constantly busy maintaining right-wing fictions and illusions, you have to hate anything that reveals the truths. :shrug:

[Blue_Tires]

26. not just the tea party; that's the mindset of a lot of americans, sadly

I have a close cousin of mine who is a moderate Dem in his late 40s...He works for a notoriously anti-labor corporation we all know and hate, and has lived his entire life in so-called 'right to work' states. Of course, he is absolutely giddy at the prospect every public/private union getting crushed once and for all, along with collective bargaining made illegal.

He spits out the usual WSJ memes about high salaries, laziness, corruption, blocking market competitiveness, (and of course, that old neo-liberal myth of unions not being needed in modern times). But what pisses me off to no end is, being a huge fan of several sports, he has ALWAYS sided with the players in labor/contract disputes! He can put up the most passionate defense of college players getting proper pay for their talents...He always supports free agent athletes getting the biggest record-breaking deal possible, while forever cursing evil, money-grubbing owners. He hates the lavish pension plans public employees enjoy, but his heart literally bleeds for former NFL players enduring debilitating health issues (fwiw my cousin is a former college athlete, and knows dozens of former/current pro athletes)...

I swear I have tried to make him see his disconnect between his unquestioned support of athlete's rights and his opposite stance for the rest of us...He still sees nothing wrong with his beliefs...

[ReggieVeggie]

27. what I hate about the teabaggers is how easily they're bamboozled

all because they like to feel good about themselves at everyone elses expense

[ej510]

28. It's the I got mine, so Fuck You mentality.

[CrispyQ]

30. Read Bob Altemeyer's - The Authoritarians.

It's free, online.

http://home.cc.umanitoba.ca/~altemey/

The Cheney's of the world are the authoritarian leaders. The teabaggers are authoritarian followers - they mindlessly do what their masters tell them to. Until you break this mindset, they will never change.

[ej510]

31. Thanks

[Brewman_Jax]

32. Teabaggers love the rich SOB's that rob the working class

because that's who the teabaggers want to be...someday.

[bullwinkle428]

34. Meanwhile, they scream that increasing taxes on someone making $250K a year

is JUST HORRIBLE!!1! EVIL BIG GOVERNMENT!!1! SOSHULIZM1!!!!1!

[ej510]

35. My co-worker told me raises taxes on millionaires causes a recession, because it causes

employers to fire employees.
