3. But nooooo, we must not associate Teabaggers with racism. That would be impolite.
And we would not want those fine upstanding citizens to consider us impolite, would we?

19. Why, yes. *Anyone* has told Rachel AND Keith
and *Anyone* is ME!

Is it like when the electricity goes out & everybody assumes their neighbor has reported the power outage to the utility company? I didn't want to take a chance on *everyone* assuming that *anyone* had notified Rachel & Keith. In fact, it may not hurt for more *anyones* to send it to both of them, as it may increase the likelihood that the story gets picked up...but don't depend on *anyone*; just send the damned link fercryin' out loud!

Their e-mails are simplicity itself:

[email protected]

[email protected]

I don't do Tweets, Twitters, Squeaks, Squawks, Wuphfs, Sneezes, Snores or Grunts, so you're on your own where those geegaws are concerned.

That's definitely an instance where one picture is worth 10,000 words.

7. Reminds me of the great scene in The Simpsons when
a FOX News helicopter flies by with the slogan "Not racist, but #1 with racists" painted on the side.

11. Oh, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to resist
saying, "Yup. You're a moron, too" to anyone I encountered wearing that shirt. Maybe I could get the moron to punch me. Then, I'd find a cop. Yes, I would.

45. Did you even bother looking at the photo?
The guy's a teabagger. Standing under a "Tea Party" sign with "FOX NEWS" proudly displayed. There's also an "Infidel" shirt with what looks like an AK-47 on it.

But I'm sure the fact that he's sporting a shirt that says "Yup, I'm a Racist" is just a huge coincidence.

By the way, notice any people of color in that photo?

23. Disgusting when they are not embarrassed to admit it
Or, just worse than trying to pretend they aren't. But at least that shows a consciousness of wrong.

24. I respect him alot more for at least being truthful about their cause
That's still not a lot of respect in general but more than these idiots tea party members who 'claim' they aren't racist as they attend their all white tea party gatherings (or at least 99.99999% white) and complain about the entitlement that non-whites get.

25. He's intending the shirt to be sarcastic.
The belly laugh is that it is true and he'll never know it, much less acknowledge it.

26. When will the TeaPubliKlan apologist be around to explain how these fuckwits aren't racists?
Or that this is just another in a seemingly endless stream of "isolated exceptions"? Or how their ______ is as kind as the day is long and has friends of all races?

Non-racists folks wouldn't tolerate this filth and certainly wouldn't associate with such folks.

and continues to make racist statements, he may fit in well.

31. Heard him on WSB (Atlanta RW hate radio) back when he had a show there. The phrase "Uncle Tom" came
Edited on Tue Jul-05-11 06:05 PM by Erose999
to mind then and it still resonates now.

Edit: The fact that any person of color would associate themselves with those race-baiters of RW hate radio speaks negatively upon their character.

32. Theres video that shows the back of the shirt. Has a URL for their online store where you can buy
other racist paraphernalia.

Video:

Guy selling the shit says "You gotta know what to say, theres a few things you DON'T say".

What a bunch of stupid ass, cheese dick, uneducated, unemployable, hateful, willfully ignorant fuck-ups. I hope the Secret Service, Homeland Security, the FBI, and the TSA all do thorough examinations of every orifice these motherfuckers have on their person.

34. Heres a link where you can CONTACT THEM (and even remain anonymous, I think). Not sure if they get

your IP but you can leave a fake E-mail anyway.

I won't post the E-mail I sent them here (I'm sure it violates the DU terms of service) but I told them what to do with their crappy racist products.

36. The "master race," indeed
They're just getting more and more blatant. Remember when Hitler's SA stormtroopers started getting more blatant before the Nazi Party stole the election in 1933?

I support free speech
I support Jesus Christ as my Savior.
