It's My Tea Party and I'll Cry if I Want To!

[bondwooley]

Snip another site:

This week, the NAACP voted on a resolution to censure the Tea Party for tacitly condoning racism ... But why stop with the NAACP? Aren't there loads of organizations that have a right to censure them?

It's a good question. Maybe other groups should follow the NAACP lead. These teabaggers can't spell, speak in bumper stickers, are probably racist, avoid taxes and call themselves true Americans.

Who does DU urge to censure the loons?

Original poll here:

4. Great picture! He really is the poster boy...

... for crying if he wants to.

Another person to censure the Tea Party: Miss Manners.

People Who Know What Teabagging Actually Is.

7. Iggo - what is the Tea Party position on gay rights?

Seems to be one of the few things that they aren't screaming about. Just curious.

8. What's their "position" ??? n/t

[Iggo]

9. They want equal rights for everyone, right now.

Oh, wait...

10. I'm sure that "oh, wait... " is the right answer.

But since they pretend to have Libertarian views, well...

11. There is no "the tea party position"

And the people "running" it (I put that in quotes because they can't really control what happens for the most part) are trying to keep it that way so that the Tea Party doesn't have the same split the "actual" GOP has over the past few years.

12. Interesting comment...

... but if they have no position, in an effort to differentiate from the GOP, well, how does that actually differentiate them from the GOP?

13. I'm glad the NAACP censured them!

I'm so sick of their tea bagging asses. And btw I voted for "people who know what tea bagging really is". HAHAHA!

15. Kind of explains your screen name! ;-) n/t

14. The Boston colonists

That one seems like a no-brainer. :)

[bondwooley]

16. That's a good one, actually! n/t

17. I thought so

But the contrast between the original Tea Party and today's pretenders also is obvious, and I'm certainly not the first one to see that--not by a long shot. Thanks to you for the OP. :thumbsup:
