Why are tea baggers white?

It's something the younger generation started doing at partys when a bud passed out.
Thats why the gal in the video I posted cant keep a straight face,she knows what teabagging really is and actually worked it pretty good.:lol:
You are right ironsides, not all blacks support Obama. Latest opinion poll shows that ‘only’ 97% of blacks support Obama.
And there is nothing wrong with promoting an idea or an agenda. However, when a publication promotes a particular agenda like FOX news did, that means FOX is not reporting the news, they are creating it.
When FOX reporter is seen egging on the tea party supporters, that really removed any claim by FOX of being an unbiased, dispassionate news outlet. Now even FOX admits that it is just a mouthpiece of Republican Party. Until now the left wingers were saying that, but with FOX reporters egging on Tea Party supporters, even FOX is conceding at last that it is just a mouthpiece of Republican Party.
So there is nothing wrong in promoting an agenda, if FOX wants to promote the Republican Party, more power to it. But it is disingenuous to claim to be a non partisan, an objective news outlet on one hand and to enthusiastically support, incite tea party supporters on the other. You can’t have it both ways.
Tea Party movement is just the Republican base ironsides, nothing more. They were used to having their way for 12 years, when Congress was republican (and six years of that, president was Republican).
For the first time in a long time the far right base has no say in Washington politics, they are hopping mad about it. They are used to getting their way, having things their own way for too long.
But now that Republicans are not in control in Washington, the extreme right base has become irrelevant in Washington. That is the origin of the Tea Party movement, nothing more.
And of course they will be influential in the 2010 elections, they will vote for their party, Republican Party.
So Tea Party movement is just the extreme right wing Republican base venting their frustration, there is no need to read anything more in that.
So you agree that they are mostly white. And with good reason. They form the Republican Party base, which is mostly white and overwhelmingly male (and old).
So you claim that blacks are insane, mentally unstable? A typical conservative reaction to blacks. Anyway some conservatives think that blacks are racist (conservatives think that most liberals are racist, since most blacks vote for liberals, that also makes blacks racist).
So according to conservatives, blacks are racist and insane. Is it any wonder they don’t vote for conservatives?
Incidentally, while male Christian Fundamentalists probably vote for Republican Party by more than 90%. Indeed, I don’t see why any white male Fundamentalist would vote for Democratic Party. Does that make them insane?
Quite so kakato, YJ has a severe attack of sour grapes. But take heart YJ, according to your own predictions, Republicans are going to end up with huge number of senators and Congressmen after next election.
Also, Republicans are going to nominate Joan of Arc in 2012 and she is going to win a landslide victory (again, according to you), sweeping 49 out of 50 states (though I fail to see why you gave one state to Obama, you must have been in a particularly generous mood that day).
So just imagine 2012, Joan of Arc will be on the throne. You will have what 70, 80, 90 Senators? 400, 450, 500 Congressmen?
Oh, happy days. So have courage my friend. Paradise, Heaven is just round the corner. It is half Heaven, half paradise in 2010 and full Heaven, full paradise (practically a Second Coming) in 2012.
Tea baggers, like the rest of the Log Cabinites, can serve a good purpose by dividing the Republican vote.
You really are guilty bias yourself, just have to look at the format of your posts. No mention of how NBC,MSNBC promotes the Obama or Left wing agenda. Lets not also forget that most of the major news outlets, like The New York Times, The Washington Post and CBS ignored the swelling heat surrounding former White House environmental adviser Van Jones and the videos surfacing of his controversial statements. Lets not get into how all the other networked are squeaky clean and FOX is the only one in the hen house.
Do you mean Log Cabin Republicans? Well, they have had a split in them also. A more conservative group has broken out.
I was reading on WorldNetDaily the other day, the conservative group (I don’t recall its name offhand) is one of the sponsors for the coming CPAC conference. Most conservatives are hopping mad about it, the want CPAC to decline the sponsorship.
Indeed, this exposes the hatred, prejudice against gays in all its ugliness. Here is a conservative, an extreme right wing group. They think as all the right wing extremists think (they are opposed to gay marriage, opposed to equal rights for gays etc.); the only difference is that they are gay. But just because they are gay, conservatives don’t want them as a sponsor for the upcoming CPAC conference.
Can we really imagine what the fate of gays would be if the far right, the teabaggers controlled all the levers of the government (Senate, House, presidency, Supreme Court etc.)? Can concentration camps really be far off?
We were discussing the FOX reporters being caught on the video inciting the tea baggers, ironsides. Nobody has caught MSNBC or New York Times reporters inciting say, blacks at an NAACP rally or gays at a gay pride event.
But anyway, so you do agree with me that FOX is a mouthpiece of Republican Party?
"So Tea Party movement is just the extreme right wing Republican base venting their frustration, there is no need to read anything more in that."
The Tea Party movement did start with the Right wing of the Republican party, but today it is evolving into a party unto itself composed of people disgruntled with a lot of what the Demarcates are doing, as well as Republicans. It has crossed party lines and no is composed of Center Right Democrats, Independents as well as most Republicans. 2010 will be a very interesting election.
I seriously doubt that, ironsides. Look at any tea party rally. Most of the faces are white male. That is the Republican Party base. Indeed, opinion polls say that 40% of Americans have a favorable view of the tea baggers. Republican base is what about 30% of the electorate (and it is a given and everybody in the Republican base views the movement favorably)? So that means that among Republicans (not part of the base), independents, and right wing Democrats only 10% regard tea baggers favorably.
It seems to me it is still predominantly the Republican base.
No, you were discussing FOX as inciting the tea baggers. FOX news as well as The Sun Sentinel were reporting another Tea Party. Notice that the other networks are missing (By the way, The Sun Sentinel is another left wing rag, but it is all we have down here)
"But anyway, so you do agree with me that FOX is a mouthpiece of Republican Party?" They are as guilty as much as the other networks are of supporting The Democrats and other Left wing causes.
Most Hispanics in south Florida which are composed of Cubans they consider themselves white.
Most Hispanics in south Florida which are composed of Cubans consider themselves white. You couldn't tell the difference from a picture.
You're right, Hispanics are white, as are all people of European extraction to the best of my knowledge. They are all part of the "Arian race". East Indians are technically white too, which may come as a surprise to some.
Quite so, so what is your point? There have been videos of FOX reporters inciting the tea baggers, that is how the discussion started. And my point was (and still is) that when a network creates news instead of reporting it, it has lost even the pretense of being nonpartisan, being unbiased.
Why do you still like the NY Times so much then? They have been creating news for years.
