...scream "YEAH" when one of their libertarian heroes is asked if the government should allow an uninsured man to die. OK, so their libertarian hero not only didn't refute these "YEAH" cries, he just used more words to say the same thing. OK, so this exposes the teabagger movement as one that is motivated by good ol' "Christian" values such as meanness, hatred, bigotry, blood lust, massive stupidity and shortsightedness and of course, racism. OK, so this shows the baggers as contemptible and detestable people.
We know that all of this is true.
Of course we know that our crusading "liberal" media is too enthralled with all that is teabagger that they'd never cite any of these truths.
My question to the thinking people is this.
Do any of you see the direct parallels between the conduct of the teabaggers and the fools who attended the mcsame/palin(comparison) rallies in 2008? I certainly remember the cries from the crowd of "KILL HIM" when Obama's name was mentioned. I remember the shrill woman who called Obama an arab (to his credit, mcsame did take her microphone away). I remember the racist old fart waiting in line for a mcsame/palin(comparison) rally with the stuffed monkey dressed as Obama. I remember the rally-goer saying that women who were made pregnant by their rapist "should die".
This has been the type of conduct I've seen and sometimes experienced from the far right for 40+ years.
I've been called a traitor as well as the usual other names since I expressed my opposition to the Vietnam War in 1967 when I was 12. I remember a red neck asshole screaming that I should be hung when I was on my way to an anti war rally in 1970 a few months before my 15th birthday. I remember hearing them chant "this time 4 and next time more" after the Kent State Killings. This was done by the sons and daughters of some of the same rightists who condemned Charlie Chaplin for being too hard on HITLER in "The Great Dictator"
I wonder why I see so few people point out that the teabagger movement is only the same crappy ingredients in a new and crappier package. I know I can't expect our asswipe corporate media to actually do some work and show this. Unfortunately, too much of the public is still more worried over the most recent developments on their favorite reality tv show to care about their nation's welfare.
I am surprised that there aren't more progressive voices and thinking minds pointing this out. Am I missing something?
Thanks you for "listening" to my little rant.
PEACE!
